Do any already-marrieds have images from the resort photographer that they can share? Or any feedback about using this service? Thanks in advance!
Dreams425 used the resort photographer and really liked him...

We are super excited to do our site inspection this August and pick our date.   Did any of the brides negotiate room specials/deals?   Any tips before we head down in less than 2 months?

Is there room at both the adult/relax pool and the dolphin pool for a dance floor area/DJ or is one better than the other through your experience??

Thanks!
If you want a dance floor I would say to put it on the beach right next to the pools.

There is a 3rd option you haven't mentioned which is using a local photographer from off-resort, this will likely fall in between the cost of the resort photographer and flying one in (in general, although there are a few very expensive local photographers).

My personal favorites are Claudia Photo and Moments That Matter. However there are a ton more that are cheaper. The two most popular high end ones are Del Sol and Elizabeth Medina although they will cost you more than the average cost to fly in a photographer.

Check out the rest of the Riviera Maya sub-forum (both the general sub-sub section and the vendor sub-sub section) and you will find tons of threads about local photographers.

@violetvixen - I am dealing with a travel agent and are using her wholesaler connection...but the contract is for a 20-30+ discounted room rate, so we can have the pricing locked in now. I haven't seen the actual contract/paperwork, but my TA is referring to it as a contract...when I get it in hand and read it, I will know more. It may not be from the resort?!

Hey girl-- I loved Starlitk's set up, so I am going to buy some paper lanterns for them to string up and some chair sashes. I'm not sure about table covers yet... prob not. How about you??

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
