Hi Everyone,

 

I would just like to say that I am very excited that I have found this forum and became a member. Already I have found this site so very helpful.

 

My name is Lisa and I just started the planning of my wedding for the begining of June 2009. We plan to have it in the Dominican Republic in Punta Cana. We fell in love with Punta Cana a couple years ago visiting. I am from Toronto Canada.

 

I know there is not much time, but I am sure this forum is going to help a lot with my planning.

 

I already have a question if you can please help by giving your opinion or your experience, I would very much appreciate it:

 

1) Is the Travel Agent a must or can the planning be done without?

 

My experience so far: I have found I talked to a couple of agents and noticed they charge very high fees (over 4000 fixed fee). From looking at their list of services I do not see much value they would provide for me. Maybe I am looking at travel agents that over charge. Although I try to get in contact of wedding coordinators of resorts and find very hard to get answers and wondering if paying for a TA would help with this issue.

 

Thanks!! :)

Congrats Lisa! You'll find lots of great ideas on this forum. A TA might be helpfull, but not necessary if you have the time to do a bit of your own research. I've heard that some wedding coordinators can be a bit hard to get a hold of via email.... but try give them a call.

 

Best of luck!

    • 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!
