Millebe,

The old rates included the standard open bar.  The new rates now include a "premium open bar," which was previously optional.  I would prefer to have options.

Kristen,

 

Congrats on choosing a date and location!  Weddings at the Grand for 2012 now have a set list of vendors that you are required to use (including music, flowers, entertainers, etc).  So you don't have many options if you're trying to stay cost effective.  The only vendor that you can choose on your own is the photographer/videographer.  These are new policies and they may change for 2013.  But if you know you're going to have a decent sized group, I would suggest going with a travel agent to reserve some rooms.  I did that and we're able to get several perks out of it, like free nights and a free group dinner/cocktail hour (these are promotions offered through the resort).

 

Good luck with the planning.

Thanks Leah for the clarification about the premium bar now included in the price of the private reception. I hope there will be no more price changes before my wedding in November 2012. My father is going to Jamaica in two weeks. He will do a site visit and hopefully will take a lot of pics and give me his review of the place. I hope that I will have pics I can share with everyone. :)

Hi everyone,

 

I am planning my wedding at the Iberostar Grand in May and it seems like I just keep having more and more questions.  I am so glad I stumbled upon this!

 

Does anyone know if there is a minimum guest count to have a private reception at the Port Maria?  I gave my guests until March 31st to send back their RSVP cards, so I won't know the absolute final numbers until roughly six weeks out (now realizing how bad of an idea March 31 was).

 

Does anyone have pics of the Port Maria restaurant they can share?  And do we know what decorations come standard with the private reception (if any)?

 

The cost for the private reception is still unclear to me.  The literature/brochures I have received are inconsistent.  I wanted to do the "Gala" option at $70 per person, but I can't tell if that price would be additional on top of the $3000?  When I asked the hotel they made it sound like it was just $70 per person and that included any rental fees (in other words, no $3K).

 

Has anyone figured out how the dj thing works?  Will she/he serve as MC for the night and facilitate the dances, toasts, etc.? 

 

Thanks!!!

Congratulations!

 

I have lots of questions!  (There are very few Grand brides on here.)  Where did you have your ceremony?  Was the location private (no on-lookers running around in the background)?  Did you have a private reception at Port Maria?  If so, how is the space organized?  Is there room for long rectangular tables? 

 

Do you know about the Grand's new policies?  No outside vendors...flowers, music, entertainment, etc.  This didn't affect your wedding, but it will be affect your April 4th wedding.  Did you just use the Grand's recommended vendors or did you find people from the outside?  I'm still hesitant to use Tai Flora, but I fear there are no other options (unless I bring fake flowers).  If you used Tai Flora, how did you like the quality of their work compared to the price?  Did you go with their included bouquet or did you upgrade?

 

Did you do any extra events, like bonfire or group rehearsal dinner?  Where is the bonfire set-up (near the Suites or away from the Suites)? 

 

Which wedding package did you have?  I haven't found anyone yet who has done the "free package" (probably because it's new).  But I'm still trying to figure out exactly what basics are included.

 

Thanks!  I think that's all for now.

      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!
