I'm so sorry to hear about your wedding struggles. I think with that many people already booked in, changing the venue is not an option at all. Talk to your FI and come up with a list of ways to make things easier on both you and your families financially. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you!

Once again, I would like to thank ALL of you for your support and assistance!!! The FI and I had a sit down and decided that we will do everything in or power to make this work. I have decided to scale down the things that aren't really necessary and committed to doing a lot of DIY projects to make the event equally as beautiful. We have devised a realistic budget for the wedding and ended the conversation on a good note. Words cannot express my appreciation for the time all of you have taken to respond. When the situation came about, I came here to seek the advice of my fellow BDW brothers and sisters, trusting that you would provide me with good advice!! I will keep you updated and please don't be surprised if I call on some for assistance with my DIY projects. I am a Flight Attendant, therefore I can come to where you are...lol! Have a good evening:)

Glad it all worked out!

Having a DW is WAY harder and more stressful than I thought it would be... But it is your wedding and you can do as much or as little as you want -as long as you and your FI are together and happy :).. it's easy to get caught up in so much more than you really need. Good luck with the planning - I'm trying to start some DIY projects also so hopefully I'll have some successes to share :)

I'm so glad you have things figured out. I think no mater what you had a home town wedding or a DW it would have come to money problem... my DW is only a few hours from me so I do get some of the hometown stresses and the DW stresses hehe

If you need assistance with any projects, do not hesitate to ask! I am local and would love to help! I know how it is to have all of your family in another state.

I completely agree with everyone else. FI and I are going through something similar... I was just laid off last week; so we are penny pinching everything.

 

What I did, was sit him down and show him my budget spreadsheet. We looked at the things we were contractually obligated to pay for and that were absolute necessities (e.g. paying for our room, my dress which already came in) and decided that we would only pay for those things for now. Anything else is extra for us... if we have the $$, we will do a private cocktail hour; if not, we will go with dinner and dancing afterwards with what our AI resort offers for free, etc...

 

It will all work out.. I am not much of a good DIY girl; I don't have that gene. But, that is also another way to cut costs!! We are all here for you!

      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!
