Believe me, I'm trying to bring what I can with me too. I actually was emailing back and forth with Tiara last night. She actually answered me three times back to back before disappearing. So yes, the arch, including all the flowers is 175. Although the flowers were daisies so I would much rather have another flower, like roses or lillies. I asked her if she had photos of arches with other flowers and that's when she disappeared. oh well. It was good while it lasted.

 

I am still looking into bringing a portable canopy myself. Hopefully I'll find something. I get that they have to charge for some things, but a canopy that they probably have stored in a back room and it would take their staff half an hour to move --- that CAN'T cost $850. There's no reasoning.

 

Oh well, at least I know that getting one from there is no longer an option.

Good morning, Brides:

 

I write these notes, because I understand that you are not using this resource as a way to help each other or exchange information, sometimes you are using it as a place for criticism. The critics are good, just only when you discuss it with the person that you are dealing with.

 

Once, one of you told me that many of the brides who write here do not value what we do for you on this side, and now I really think she was right. I understand that many of you are in other countries and cities, so you will need a lot of information, photos, ideas and others, but just want you to understand that just as you, another 200 in other places that need attention as well.

 

This is the reason that most of the time, the emails are not as quickly as we want. Not mentioning that on a wedding date, we also have to be coordinating and preparing everything.

 

Another thing that I want to mention are the prices, unfortunately the hotel has outdoors vendors such as flowers, musicians, rental of chairs, etc, and somentimes not only we have to wait for a quotation from them, also even if we consider that a quotation is expensive, there are the only providers near by the hotel, since La Romana is about 30 minutes from where is located the property and Higuey to 1 hour or more.

 

I really regret that sometimes the prices do not go with your budgets or the service that you require is not as quickly as possible. But at least you should imagine how things are on the other side of the coin. We work hard (and that's why they pay us), we work from early morning (like now) to unimaginable late hours, also on our day off, we check our emails at home trying to provide you better services.

 

The hotel hired another wedding coordinator, since there is a lot of work here and only myself handle more than 250 brides at this moment; so one more person was added to the department. She will be contacting some of you, as we have divided some weddings. I will ask you to give her your best support, since she is just starting.

 

Similarly, I ask for your understanding and also to consider that here we are all human and none is perfect. I was a bride once (my wedding was in October 24, 2009) and I fully understand your positions. But I know we must take into consideration the distance, as in my case I was here, but I also use outside vendors and I was stressful too. Even now, when I think on that day, there are a few things that if I could change it, I would do it.

 

I would like to apologize if at any time you have felt offended, or not treated with importance, I assure you this is not the intention. I (and now my partner) are here to help and serve you in everything we can, to make your day unforgettable.

 

We are here to work with you as a team, not to create barriers...

 

Have a great day!

 

Tiara

Hi Tiara,

 

 

I know at times us brides can get so stressed, impatient and judgmental without really realizing how hard you are working for us to make our wedding day a special one so I am truly sorry for that!

 

Also, I want you to know that I am aware that the prices we get quoted are from the hotel and you have nothing to do with you so I hope you do not take it personally when you read how shocked we are with the prices!

 

I am happy to hear that the resort hired another person to help you out; I never realized how many weddings you had to plan all at once. I can't imagine how stressful this has to be for you.

 

So I would like to sincerely thank you for all your hard work; for being so patient with us and for trying to make our wedding day a perfect one! I truly look forward to planning my wedding with 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!
