Hey all!

 

My name is Guilyn! I am so happy I found this website-- I will be picking all of your brains for any and all wedding advice, because Lord knows I need some!

We have decided on a destination wedding, but can not figure out where we want it!! Our ideal spot is a smaller resort on a gorgeous beach--- the larger resorts are lovely, but just not our style, and they are basically all I've been coming across. We've looked into Costa Rica, Hawaii, the Mayan Riviera and the Carribbean, and are having a really hard time deciding between them. We may just end up having the Big Austin Texas wedding we initialy decided we didn't want afterall, just bc we're having such a hard time choosing another spot. HELP!

Can't wait to talk to all of you. Hi!

Welcome! I didn't want the big resort ceremony either, but we ARE staying at Dreams Puerto Vallarta, but our wedding is offsite at a private beach cove area, only accessible by boat (Las Caletas). If that sparks your interest, just let me know - there are quite a few of us getting married there. I know some girls got married in Cabo at the Cabo Surf Hotel - and that may fit your needs better - look for Janet1111, and then Christa just got married there too, here's her review: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t3895

What's an AI? I feel like a dork asking. There are so many abbreviations on here-- do you have a list of what they all mean?? ha!

 

As far as what my man and I have been envisioning-- probably similar to what everyone wants... an intimate resort-- maybe even one we can completely 'rent out' (we're going to have 50people, give or take a few... we can cut that number down or add to it)... I'd like to help a few of my guests pay for their accommodations (most won't need the help, though), so I don't want rooms that are $450 plus, which is all I've been finding... I love Cabo and Cancun, but I'd like to be at a more remote spot-- don't get me wrong, I like the nightlife, but I'd like more locals, less tourists (aka I don't really want to go where there's going to be tons of 20 something yr old American girls dancing on bars, pulling their tops off-- lol!)

 

Did most of you hire wedding coordinators, or did you just use hotel wedding coordinators??

 

I would give my right arm to hire sasha souza Sasha Souza Events: Celebrity Wedding Planner, Destination Weddings Consultant

but she is so damn expensive!!!

Hi Guilyn! I'm new to the site too...and we're having a lot of the same problems you are with narrowing down the location! As of today (haha, it seems to constantly be changing!), my fiance and I have it narrowed down to Jamaica or Belize. But who knows what tomorrow will bring! embarrest.gif

 

Good luck, maybe we can help each other make our decisions more easily!

    • 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!
