We were only expecting 30 so I dont want us to be in too large of a room, but I just love the way that the Coral Grill looks in thh pictues!! I looked at your pictures and I couldnt tell if the grill was outdoors, had open air, was completely enclosed(with no windows), or just had big windows that were kept closed. Also, did you have a DJ? Did they have an IPOD dock? I think we MIGHT pay for an extra hour or two of open bar, but we figured that we would then just take the party to the lounge or the club. Last question, I saw that you all had pictures up on a screen, did they provide everything (other than the CD with the pictures) that was needed? I loved it!! Thank you sooo much!
Sincerely
Dearmaya!!!

You will love Claudia! We had a total of 42 people. The grill is huge, but we were only in one half of it. They arranged the tables in a way that really closed the room in, so it didn't seem too large at all. I think it will be fine with 30 people. The grill wasn't as open as I expected. It is not as open as the other grills because it is supposed to be nicer. There are huge windows all around the building that can open up. They are huge sliding windows, I'm sure you could have them as open or as closed as you want. I'm not sure how open our windows were, I didn't even notice. We did not have a dj. We used our own ipod on a dock, Claudia stood by it and turned the volume down for toasts, or put on our special songs such as our first dance. I liked having the ipod, because I could go over and change the music as I wanted. Our reception did seem a bit short, and Claudia told us we could keep it going for an extra hour, for $10 per person. So another $420.00, but since we had done the cocktail hour prior we decided to move our party to the Carey Bar upstairs. It is a laid back lounge, where we went every night. It was a fun bar with a piano, and plenty of room for everyone. Afterwards, my wedding party headed to the disco, they had a blast. They said it was pretty cheesy, but super fun! I created the slideshow and gave to Claudia to play. I told her I when to play it, and everything went perfectly. The audio/visual equipment is an additional cost of $420.00. We played the slideshow at the beginning of the reception, and after it was over, we turned the sound down and just let the pictures play while we ate dinner. If you want to take a look at my slideshow, its on our wedding web site. www.keelyandlee.com You can find it under the wedding slideshow page. Part of what I do is making wedding slideshows and wedding websites, so if you're interested let me know. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

The legal ceremony, if it is on the beach, can not be religious. You can only have a religious ceremony if it is in the chapel or in a church. I'm pretty sure you can write your own vows and add readings to the ceremony, I don't see why not?

 

Anyone getting married in late june/early july 2010? I wanna meet someone who is getting married around the same time as me =)

A lot of you have mentioned these open air grills for the dinner are they considered an option if we are not doing our reception on the beach? We are going with the sea breeze package( I think) so our meal is supposed to happen in a ball room I wonder If I can use a grill instead?

so I have booked my wedding for october 24, 2009 but I really haven't done much more. I have sent an email asking for more pictures and location options, decor stuff, etc... I don't know if I should be more aggressive or if somebody else possibly has some more photos of weddings at the resort

    • 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!
