My mom is hosting a cocktail style reception at the local sailing club. We are doing served hot hors d'oevres from 7:30-9:00 along with wine, which is the time that we are also going to do some informal speeches, show the slideshow, etc. Then dancing starts at 9:00 and we are doing fruit sandwich and cheese platters. We are also going to have cupcakes instead of wedding cake.

We are thinking of some sort of martini party for our AHR. We are just in the planning stages...here are some of our brainstorm ideas: having a mash potato bar/martinis, some mexican hors d'oerves/beer, cheese/wine, and chocolate fountain with lots of goodies. We are planning to set up different food and drink stations. We are planning on starting around 7 with a DJ and dancing. Nothing to formal. What do you girls think?

We're having a buffet at a reception hall. Our choices are: Roast beef and roasted chicken, roasted potatoes and mashed potatoes, ceasar salad and pasta salad, steamed carrots and grilled asparagus and a dessert table (mostly different kinds of pie) and then a chocolate fountain later on in the night. The kiddies get chicken fingers and french fries :)

A BBQ is a fantastic idea!

 

We're doing the AHR on a private party boat cruise in Baltimore's Inner Harbor (since I figure if my guests can't make it to Jamaica, I still wanted to get them as close to a body of water, as possible!)

 

On the boat, we are having a catering company keep a sort of "Tastes of Jamaica" theme going with a Caribbean foods station (Jerk chicken!) and fruity frozen drinks, plus we're thinking of doing a pasta station for our vegetarian guests.

 

We'll also be having a traditional wedding cake for dessert, since the one we're having at the resort is a bit lack-luster!

Since we are getting married in Mexico and and only our closest family and friends will be able to go we thought we would bring Mexican food to the ones who couldn't make it. I work with a lady from Mexico and she is going to do the food for our AHR. She makes the best tacos, tamales, chicken mole enchiladas, and of course beans and rice. We will also have beer, margaritas, chips, salsa, and guacamole. Mmmmm... I have a long time to wait for this.

    • 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!
