Dreams Puerto Aventuras Brides - POST HERE!


Recommended Posts

Aug,

I'm excited and nervous for you. It's going to be amazing, I'm sure. One tip I read from a destination bride was to provide everyone with a schedule of where the bride and groom will be throughout the weekend. For example, which restaurant you'll be eating at or bar you will be lounging at. Because then they have the choice to hang out or not and the bride and groom don't have to try and spread their time equally because the guests will find you.

 

Also, if any guests are unhappy w/ accommadations/etc even though you'll probably feel responsible, DON'T. Have one of your bridal party/parents help or refer to general manager etc. You don't need that stress.

 

Good luck w/ everything. Can't wait for the pictures.

Also, any advice? We have 65 people coming and I am starting to get a bit nervous...I feel like all of our family/friends' vacation is in our hands!! I know it's technically not, but I want to make sure everything runs smoothly! I just emailed Jacy a ton of questions!! Hope to hear back from her very soon...thanks for listening!!
I brought chair sashes, table overlays, centerpieces, menus for the reception. I also purchased maracas in Playa del Carmen as favors. Sandra took care of setting everything up for me.

Don't be nervous! Everything is going to be amazing. I was totally nervous but once I stepped foot at the resort I went into total vacation mode. The resort is small enough that you will run into your guests left and right. Don't feel bad if you don't get to hang out with everyone...if you do it will just stress you out because you're going to be calculating how much time you spent with so-and-so versus so-and-so and you probably won't enjoy your vacation. Most of the couples that were guests at our wedding wanted to have their own alone time and also give DH and I our alone time.

Hi there!
Did they have options available already there for centerpieces, chair sashes and overlays and you chose to bring your own or if I don't bring my own am I screwed? Sorry, I emailed Jacy this weekend about this too, but I haven't heard from her yet...that makes sense to a/b spending time with people. I need to keep reminding myself of these things!! =)
Thanks again!

I think they do have options for centerpieces and other decorations listed on their website or the wedding pricing list. It was more cheaper for me to bring my own decorations than to use the resort's so that's why I brought my own.

YAY! I LEAVE TOMORROW!

I wanted to thank everyone on the BDW forum who has been so helpful in my planning process. I have gotten so many ideas and helpful information from you all! I am taking my laptop and will post occasionally from DPA. If there is anything I can check in to or find out for anyone, let me know and I will do my best.

I will post a full review when I get back. Thanks again.....can't believe it is finally time! YAY! I am so excited!!! smile29.gif

Thank you so much! I'm starting to look into centerpieces I can take with me as well. :)

    • 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!
