Once-in-a-while I like to tell you what's going on down here in your wedding spot of choice, so here's my update! Everyone is gearing-up for THE most important government holiday of the year (I would say THE most important holiday but I really think this one ties with Christmas!!) which is Mexican Independence Day. Everywhere you go right now there are vendors selling Mexican flags and noise devices and t-shirts and and and and - you name it but whatever it is it is outfitted in the striped colors of green, red and white!

 

Sept 15th/16th, for the Mexicans, mark their day of Independence from Spain. The revolutionary leader who started the rebellion against Spain was Father Miguel Hidgalo. It's claimed he cried out, "Long live religion! Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe! Long live the Americas and death to the corrupt government!" This cry will be repeated all over Mexico (including PV!), along with the ringing of a bell on the night of Sept 15th. After this cry, there will be a lot of partying going on. Here in Vallarta, the plaza will be PACKED - we went one year but I don't like it when there are so many people you can't even move wink.gif.

 

They will have castillos (I wrote to you about those once - those are big firework displays that are set-off and they have images on them - super dangerous but really pretty wink.gif) and fireworks and music. Then, on Sept 16th, there will be a big parade that will go through the streets of downtown on the Malecon. Wild, crazy two days!!

      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!
