Beachbride08's Planning Thread!!!


Recommended Posts

I first want to say how grateful I am that I found this site. Although, I found it early on in our planning process, I must say I wish I would have found it a little sooner. I went back and forth about changing our wedding location and resort after finding so many new places on here, especially since I was the only Iberostar bride for awhile! I have enjoyed looking at everyone’s planning and wedding review threads to get ideas on DIY projects. If it weren’t for you creative ladies I would have spent a lot more money and would not have had as many of the little touches that I will now have. It is also so great to have a group of people that understand the ups and downs of planning a destination wedding. Although, planning weddings in general is a stressful process there are different obstacles that destination brides face. Thank you for letting me vent, and for sharing your own stories. I would especially like to thank all the ladies in the November Brides thread as you have been my go to group these past 6 months. You know who are, and you guys are AWESOME!!! I can’t believe it is finally my time to post my planning thread.

    • 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!
