The gazebo set up with white and fuxia fabrics, the 2 flowers poles on the corner, the aisle arrangments and the rose petals were under the resposability of the florist Maya Floral.

The chairs sashes are under the responsability of the wedding coordinator but in my case I have taken from home.

Where is your ceremony being held, and where is your reception being held? If it's the same place, then they will use the same chairs. Mine was from the beach to barracuda terrace and the chairs were not moved from location to location. I had 1.5 hours between as well, and they still did not move the chairs.

Right now, I have my ceremony being held on the beach, and the reception being held in the pool/gazebo area . .however, I am willing to move the reception if I need to accomodate moving the chairs :)!  I am hand making part of the decor and the thought of making double the amount coupled with everything else on my plate and my full time job freaks me out, LOL!

Does SMB provide the wedding dinner menus and place cards, or it that the bride's responsibility to bring those?  (as you can see, I am clueless!! LOL)

 

I found these photos on the Sandals Martha Stewart Weddings site... Do you think SMB could replicate this look for me??  I love the idea of the hanging "curtain" of flowers or shells or whatever...  :)

I would just talk to Cecilia then, and see what she says. They are flexible and I am sure there are a number of factors that go into it.

Thanks . .I know that is the best idea, but I feel like I get conflicting answers from her also :)! Perhaps if I explain it outright and suggest the spaces I have chosen as compared to double sashes she will understand better.  Poor Cecilia and the gazillion emails I have already sent her. Honestly, I think I have changed our contract more than 20 times already.  But, I guess thats her job, right :)!  I have been so undecisive and this site has really helped me make some concrete decsions, thank goodness!

They can print menus for you but I can't remember if there is a fee.... I believe they print them on plain paper that just says secrets at the top. I brought my own menus and place cards because I didn't want them to be plain and it was just an easy DIY thing that I was able to do.

Yes, there could be some miscommunication. I wouldn't move my reception if I were you though. The gazebo and barracuda terrace are the prettiest options.

Oh okay - I guess I need to be doing that too...  Did you just order them or did you actually print them yourself from a home printer?  I am thinking of designing them using VistaPrint - has anyone used them?  I can always add ribbons, bling, etc., but need someone to print them for me, I think.  I am open to any and all suggestions from everyone.

    • 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!
