I feel a little bad about being so sneaky, but oh well!

 

 

That's what I paid when I was there. That's just their new price for it now, when they updated their price list. It's actually the same as what Rebeca quoted me: $150 for ceremony and $300 for reception. Then when they redid the pricing in the "wedding guide", its just listed as $450 for ceremony and reception - which is the same.

Ok, so I emailed Louise last night and got an email back early this morning. Fastest response I ever had! I expressed how upset we were with the changes, prices, and a few other issues we've been having. She did tell me that they will honor any price I was quoted by Rebeca or any other WC we've had contact with. So if any of you girls have any email correspondence with 2010 prices in them, save them and tell Louise/Esman. I also recommend pushing for a contract like I did so there is no more flip flopping with prices and availability of services.

I think it would depend on when payment is due on the trip.  1st payment for our wedding in May is February 6th so I sent my invitiations out in the beginning of January...The response date I used was the first payment due date.  It worked out pretty well.  Hope this helps

hey ladies! Soooooo....we were so frustrated with Dreams and everything going on, that we have decided to get married off of the resort. We have reserved Le Kliff. We really love it and I am actually really excited. I think this all happened for a reason. I feel so much better because contact has been awesome. We will still be having the bonfire and everything. 

 

On a side note, I just got home from work. I'm outside of Chicago and don;t know if any of you have seen the crazy weather, but OMG! I'm a nurse and they called a disaster code, so we were not allowed to leave. I worked yesterday for 12 hrs, slept at the hospital, and got off at 7pm after another 12 hr shift. I'm exhausted! I hope anyone else hit with this weather is safe and warm!

Yeah I don't want anyone to think that Louise was the problem. She really tried, but she just wasn't clear about her answers. She now says that she told us they would honor the 2010 prices, but we have all the emails and that was never said. She was very gracious about us canceling. It was just too many things. First the change in coordinators, then all the price problems. One example: I asked if Oceana was still available for rent. She said no. Then 3 days later she said yes. We were in the process of pricing le Kliff - so the private space may have changed our minds. basically, for about the same cost, it seemed worth it. Actually, having it at LeKLiff is cheaper than renting Oceana. She said if she knew we would cancel, they would have been quicker to honor things - well I shouldn't have to threaten them to have them do that.  They have a corner on the wedding market, but they need to realize that they still need to give the brides a lot of attention (if wanted) and offer a competitive product.

 

i am still super excited about Dreams. we are still having the bonfire, which sounds amazing! Please don't anyone think I am trying to rain on their parade! Partly is was our fault for not clarifying earlier. So just learn from our mistake!

    • 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!
