I have fallen in love with this resort!! We are wanting to get married here, however, we are torn between the gazebo or beach for our ceremony. We love the look of the gazebo, however, being right beside the pool I am worried about having people in our pictures that we dont want as well as the noise level. Again, the beach has potention to get a lot of extras in our photos. For those of you who have married there did you find this to be a problem? And where did you choose to get married and why? Thanks so much!!

Hi there! Welcome to the board :)

I chose the Gazebo b/c we don't want to walk on the sand, lol.

The wedding team apparently does a good job of keep on lookers out of pics - and depending on when your ceremony is, people may be back at their rooms getting ready for dinner anyway.

Saza175 - this sounds wonderful! Just the 2 of you, really sounds so romantic. And tempting in my planning as well lol. Our families have been fine with everything, really great and supportive upto this point. But my girls on the other hand have been giving me so much BS about where we are getting married. Its horrible, we actually just told them this week that we decided NOT to have a bridal party anymore. IT was becoming so stressful and upsetting. And this is def NOT what we want our Maroma Beach wedding turning into! SO either way, with them there or by my side or as a guest, it really dosnt matter anymore.... I am going to marry the love of my life, in the most beautiful location I can ever imagine, and it is going to be the BEST day of my life! :)

 

Jay45- We choose the beach location, because of the white sand and that fab color water for pictures. We really wanted to capture the essence of the location in Maroma Beach into our ceremony. I'm even going barefoot for the ceremony :) We did take some time to come to this decision because my father is slightly handicapped and cannot walk in sand. But we discussed this with Ceclia (coordinator at Secrets) as well as my wedding planner here in CT, and requested if they can put down some sort of hard walkway. (wood planks or such) that will be covered with an isle runner so that it wont look tacky. We will be doing cocktail hour by the pool, and we are still indecisive on a location for the reception.

 

And that private dinner on the beach sounds wonderful!!! I think I will put that on my honeymoon registry. Anyone doing a honeymoon registry? and if so are you using the one through Secrets or using an outside one? We havent signed up yet, but would like to get the ball rolling. Any suggestionshuh.gif

 

Thanks,

Linda

XOXO

We are still working on our honeymoon - we are only staying at the resort a couple more days after the wedding and then heading back to NYC.

We're going to go on our honeymoon for a couple weeks in January but aren't exactly sure where yet - maybe Thailand and the Maldives?

 

I know there are tons of other sites with honeymoon registries - Starwood has a good one (W hotels, Sheratons, Westins),

has anyone talked live with cecilia? I have signed and faxed over our contract but now I am wondering about all the specifics. how is everyone determining what your reception table decor will look like? has anyone asked about upgrades like the flowers? are the only flowers available the ones that she sent in the package?

When your wedding date?

Are you doing a site visit before your wedding?

 

Cecilia can basically do anything you want - just email her pics and colors and she is so easy to work with. I met with her back in March and am going to meet with her again when we are down there for a friend's wedding Memorial Day weekend. I have heard though you can basically wait until you get down there for your wedding and she will take care of everything right before.

 

As for flowers - you can use the designs in the packages and customize them however you want.

Thank you so much for the info!

    • 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!
