So Michelle, or anyone else that is aware, is there an extra charge to book the Rehersal dinner reservation? There will be 24 of us. We were going to do the Italian. And the Steakhouse for the wedding. Same as you I think Michelle. :)
Good choices. msnwink.gif There wasn't an extra charge for the rehearsal dinner, however, since you will have over 20 guests they will probably make you have a set menu unless 4 are kids and you get kid meals for them.

Welcome back!

 

I think Reyna and gabriella work together- so hopefully it will be fine. The extra chg of 18pp is for ceremony if over certain amt. I guess if you have cocktail hr it's from 6-7 and tropical at 7-11. They are just not clear and by the time you figure it all out. YOUR UP! I picked cocktail hr cause I was told they only rent it from 7-11 and didn't know what my guests would do- but oh well. I have so much to do i'm getting worried and my FI seems to be worthless in the planning- is that normal??

A) Your dining options are the same. You can choose any restaurant to have your wedding dinner. The WCs haven't indicated any restrictions when it comes to selecting a restaurant. If you have 70+ guests, you can have a private dinner & reception combined in the convention center. However, you have to pay per person and the rate starts at approx $50 per plate (depending on your menu selection).

B) The Disco & Convention Center are your options for a reception party with more than 40 guests. However, when I inquired about a lounge set-up, I was advised we could have an outdoor reception in one of the courtyards. As far as the DJ equipment, the WC said we could rent the equipment from a vendor without the DJ and use our own CDs/IPOD. I haven't heard about the bathroom situation.... seems kinda odd not to have one available for a large gathering.

C) I would suggest keeping the invitations as general as possible. Maybe something like "Dinner and Reception to immediately follow."


I'm sure some of the other brides will chime in. Happy planning!


Thanks SOOOOOO MUCH for all that great info. I feel bettersmile03.gif

Jwalkowiak and LindoBride2009 - Welcome back!! I can't wait to read your reviews.

 

I have a question for either of you or ParaisoBeachBride2009. My FI and I are having the civil / legal ceremony and are wanting confirmation of the legal documents that are required. Intially, the WC said they need a Spanish translation of birth certificates with an Apostille, but now she says they no longer need an Apostille. Could you please help me with whether or not any Spanish translations are required?

 

I apologize if this has been discussed previously. I couldn't find it : ) Plus the rules have apparently changed recently.

 

Thank you!

When it actually came down to booking we had 31 people. You may not have to stress yourself out about the location unless 60 people end up booking. You send in your details sheet picking your locations, but you finalize everything once you get to the resort so you can make changes up until a day or two before the wedding. We kept our invitations basic. We just listed the ceremony time of 4:00 and then put cocktails, dinner and dancing to follow. We didn't specify a location because we weren't 100% sure where everything was going to be. I did print out a timeline with our requested times and locations for dinner, etc. However, if you decide to do this I recommend leaving the times and locations off and just putting blank lines to fill it in, or bring it saved on a jump drive to print out at the resort. I ended up having to cross out times and locations since we changed teh ceremony location and the cocktail hour, dinner and reception all started a half hour earlier and we didn't find that out until we got to the resort. As far as the music, I didn't look at the convention center so I can't confirm the sound. The resort has one large speaker on a stand that you can use to hook an ipod up to. We used it in the Los Vitrales room, but the room was not huge so the sound was fine. If you are going to be in a bigger room then you might want to rent another speaker or hire a DJ with their own sound system.
Those are some great suggestions. Thank you!

    • 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!
    • 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!
