hey guys,

 

i've been getting the email updates the past couple of days from BDW...and just had to come back here to post.

 

i don't know what i said earlier about my experience in the bahamas.... but i'm not too happy w/ the Atlantis now b/c i was the photographer for a wedding and got charged for room expense on top of the bride and groom paying for the same expense. how? when i checked out, they went to charge my card for the incidental expenses and also charged my room... Then said they would remove the room expense right then...but that's not what happened. anyway, i'm in the process of going through Visa to dispute the charge. no fun...

 

yes, the bahamas are beautiful...but i want to agree with an earlier post i saw...get it in writing. as for not being able to hire an outside photog. not true. i'm an outside photog and had to get a permit to shoot the wedding. another last minute expense... : ) BUT i did get some pretty sweet photos...

I know you can use an outside photographer, but I called (as a bride) when my fiance and I first started looking for a location and they hassled us about it. I don't think they have much legal ground to stand on with that since any photographer with a work permit can work in the Bahamas, but that doesn't mean they aren't going to try to persuade couples otherwise. They do consider outside photographers a wedding guest, and require that they stay at Atlantis. Another interesting thing they told us was that ALL of your wedding guests had to be staying at Atlantis, and that Comfort Suites guests aren't permitted. However, we saw plenty of weddings out there and I didn't see them check for the Atlantis bracelets... so either I was told an outright lie or they don't have a way to control it. I would guess though that they simply don't check for bracelets before the wedding. Here's a link to the FAQ section for Atlantis.

 

I wouldn't bother dealing with Atlantis though. It's too much of a hassle and there are too many other great places to get married. They lost our business already and we found a much cooler venue on the opposite side of Nassau!

      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!
