Hey Susan! 

So how are you working things? Are you having a reception?  I'm not sure if it makes sense to me since its all inclusive.

Are you renting out the disco or having a bonfire?  I need help on trying to figure things out. thanks

Hey ladies,

 

I guess I am the next Grand bride up. I only have 36 days until the wedding and 32 days until we leave. I fell like we still have so much to do but I have been planning things for more than a year now. Everybody's asking me am I nervous about getting married. No, I know what I am getting into. What I am worried about is that everything will not go smoothly like I plan and our credit cards are almost at their max lol!

 

 

Happy planning everyone,

Hello Ladies!

 

I just started planning my destination wedding and have secured the Iberostar Rose Hall Grand Hotel for our wedding on Saturday January 28, 2012 and our honeymoon for the week after that. In fact, I go to the travel agency this afternoon to pay our deposit. YIKES!!! We are trying to stay within our limited budget (the honeymoon took most of it!) so we're going with the Free Wedding package, adding on a few extras and that's it. Our wedding will be very small, just us and our parents (6 people) up to 20-30 at the very highest... Has anyone done the free wedding package? It sounds like most brides went with the $1500 or $3000 package (plus even more extras, like Bonfire, Cocktail party, steel bands, dove release, etc.). Do most brides do the private reception? Can I just make a reservation at one of the restaurants on the night of my wedding? Or, will I still have to pay for the package to have everyone sit together? It is all very confusing. I am planning to hire a photographer. Right now I'm looking at Brian Nejedly, Diana Campbell and Sungold Associates (anyone use any of these?). These referrals are all thanks to the awesome reviews on this site from past Grand brides!!! Are the extras really necessary to have a great wedding? I am surprised at all the extra costs, since this is supposed to be an all-inclusive resort, right? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jen!

 

None of it makes sense because although it is all-inclusive, they claim that the wedding and reception are not part of the all-inclusive plan so anything extra that is part of those events is a charge. We are probably going to do a bonfire after our rehearsal dinner on the night before the wedding and then just have a normal reception either in the Port Maria restaurant or on the beach and have a DJ after the wedding. We probably won't rent out the disco but will probably go there after the reception.

 

Hope that helps!

From what I've heard from other Grand brides, there is NOTHING to worry about! Although it may feel stressful right now, everything will work out beautifullly and I'm sure it will be better than you ever imagined! Most of the past brides said the Iberostar doesn't try to nickel and dime you for every little extra either. Hang in there girl...and just keep thinking how much fun it will be to spend a few days in paradise with your family, friends, and future husband!

So Janielle informed me today that regardless if I'm having chairs or not at the ceremony...I still have to pay $20 per person for setup! That's an additional $800 for WHAT?  She originally told me it was for ceremony set up...and then when I told her Im not having chairs....I still would have to pay regardless! I am so frustrated with the nickle and diming this resort is doing. I called my travel agent and ask her how much I would lose if I cancel the wedding and still stay on property. If my guest weren't going to lose money for canceling rooms, I'd go somewhere else!

 

Thanks for letting me VENT!!!

i can't believe you'd lose anything..i mean, i won't lose any money if i cancel at the beach..but i didn't book a 'real' wedding either..i booked the 'recommittment' or re-dedication ceremony so i'd have more options...the nickel and diming is definitely a put off..but the resort is breathtaking..and by far, the best on the island...

 

you're a couple of months out..i'd see if there's anything i could do..maybe move to the suites and/or the beach..see if they're more flexible on not charging the upcharge..you might be surprised.

 

good luck and as always, happy planning!!

      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!
