Congratulations! I think with a destination wedding you can't 'expect' anyone to come, but you are just so appreciative if they can. That was our outlook on it. If there are a few key people that you both have to have there, then I would check with them to make sure they'll go. Other than that, I totally agree with the previous posters that it's hard to get a head count early on. Just decide where the two of you want to go and book it. Actually a destination wedding is so easy if you want it to be. I think the bride controls how much work she puts into it. It can be low stress and beautiful! Good luck!

Congrats on your engagement! You cracked me up about not wanting to plan your wedding much- since you do so much of that at work. That is so funny! This site is awesome and you will find everything you want to know and more! Let us know if you have any photography questions.

 

Best wishes,

Katie

welcome, i agree with the others, pick a destination and run with it, you will soon get an idea of numbers, or you could always send a card out saying this is what you planning and ask people to send back a possible response or not.. unless it's years down the track, most people know within a year whether they can afford to attend etc..

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

I just want to say I would never "expect" anyone to come, but a couple of the places that I already inquired with (Rockhouse in Negril, Jamaica for example) has a minimum room requirement before booking. Since I don't expect anyone to come, but would be delighted if anyone came, that freaks me out that I have to meet a minimum # of rooms. Know what I mean?

 

I just got a little burned in a situation where a friend (not someone I am super close with) expected me to fly 3000 miles, use all my vacation, and spend $2000 for her wedding. She was mad when I explained it was simply beyond my means at the moment! I am glad for that experience since I hope it will make me a better bride. :)

 

I look forward to the many many many more lessons I have coming my way in this process!

 

Thanks again for the welcome!

      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!
