@@kellyrene we did not use the resort photographer, however, since we did have pictures included in our package I decided to have him take a few pictures at our dinner the night before the wedding. Ho

We are getting married on 12/10/10 and I was having the same issue about ceremony music. We don't want to spend too much extra money if we don't have to. I emailed Yamina about if we could provide our own music/playlist. She said that we could bring a pre-mixed CD or ipod and they will provid the sound system for us. The only thing I am still unsure about is who will be manning the sound system during the cermony to que the right songs. I plan on sending her another email to get some more details. I hopes this helps to answer your question.

Hi there,

I am also planning on bringing my own playlist for the dinner (we're have a guitarist for the ceremony), but I believe that if you use the resort's sound system there is a $500 charge... just wanted to make sure you were aware. Maybe there is no charge for the sound system for the ceremony but there is for the reception? Just wanted to make sure you aren't hit with an unexpected charge at the end of your stay... I am planning to bring my own ipod speakers to avoid that fee.

Hi! Thanks for the heads up. I emailed Yamina this morning about the sound system for the ceremony and it is free to use. They do charge you however to use it for the reception so I will definatly bring a good ipod speaker system with us for the reception. I am also hoping that there is going to be some sort of entertainment with a live band that night so that we can head over there after dinner/reception. I have been reading these posts and I it is making me even more excited!! When is your wedding, is it on 10/31? 

Thanks!

 

Erin

Great clarification, thanks! Yes, 10/31 at 5pm is my date - when is yours?

 

I am getting really excited -- 15 guests so far! (I was expecting 6 so that's a real shock for me!)

Hey Daisy!

We are doing both the reception and cocktail hour -- the gold package -- I really wanted a mariachi band (at the cocktail hour) and all of these upgrades, so financially that was smarter than all of my add-on's. Haven't been able to nail down my flower, cake and location choices yet -- so many choices - eek!

 

Does anyone know what the evening shows are Fri-Sun? I know Thursday is the fabulous Michael Jackson impersonator... trying to get some options together for my guests - most will be there Thursday through Monday.

Hi ladies, I think I will also have around 15 guests (on 10/15/10)  and am doing a cocktail hour but then just making a dinner reservation at one of the restaurants that night.  We are on a really tight budget so I didn't want to pay for the upgrade...but I did kind of want the mariachi band!!  :)

 

I also have most people coming in either Wed-Sun or Thurs-Sun so was wondering about the shows as well. 

 

Also - one of my fiancee's sisters has a 16 and 13 year old and was considering staying off resort and then coming over for the day...I have emailed Yamina but haven't heard back yet...does anyone know anything about the policies for this? 

 

I am also working on picking out music for the ceremony/cocktail hour (we are just doing sound system/ipod)...does anyone know how long of a walk it is from where ever we come from to the beach?  Don't want the song to drag on and just be standing there...

 

Are most people doing the gazebo or the beach? Just curious...

 

I have just about everything else finished up and am getting so excited!!  :)

No minors are allowed on the property at all.  If you even go on an excursion and a bus was to pick you up at the resort, they have to park outside and you will have to walk outside to get it.  They are very strict on adult only as that is the kind of guests they cater to there.  We only see children at the airport or on an excursion and that is the only time.

 

I am doing the gazebo and it is quite a long aisle to go down and I would also assume when you do a beach wedding you are at the far end of the property to so you can have privacy.

I am doing a beach wedding - just found some really cute flats to wear that I might just kick off when I hit the sand!

 

I really hope they make an exception for your wedding for the kids to come over...please keep me posted -- so far I've told everyone that anyone under 18 isn't allowed on property.

      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!
