@@Mandiesue I sent my save the dates out last June with a brochure that had all of the travel info for La Romana and I made a wedding website with all the travel info. I didnt use a travel agent I did everything myself so it was cheaper for my guests. They booked directly through the resort, the rates I got with a group code were 228 per night for 2 ppl in the room and 164 per night for one person in the room for the Premium Garden Deluxe. I dont remember what the regular rates were. I madr everyone book early because when you book throught the resort you only pay a deposit of one nights stay and 14 days before you leave the rest of the money id due. Having them book early helped me get stuff done like the group code work on the free rooms etc. Dont worry about airfare it wont be up until about 8 months and some of my people still havent got it. I had them all download the free app hipmunk which sends you airfare alerts to your phone when the price drops.

What are you ladies doing about photos? I chose the ultimate package and it includes 50 photos and a video of the ceremony. I thought that would be enough, but it seems like a lot of brides buy the packages from tropical studios or hire another photographer and that can get very pricey.

 

My sister-in-law to be is a photographer so I lucked out that she is doing our wedding photos for free... I am struggling with the entertainment.. what is everyone doing for after dinner. We got the middle wedding package and so there is nothing for after dinner. We thought about just grabbing everyone and heading to the bar but ... we are unsure if its appropriate. We are only having 20 people at the the wedding and its mostly family.

@@neliruz I contracted out HDC photography for the wedding and got a package with them. Tropical Studios did not get good reviews and their pics are quite expensive, so I decided to outsource another company. Only downfall is I am paying an extra 150 for him to come to the resort because of the "outside vendor" fee. @@Mandiesue I hired DJ Mannia so after dinner we will be able to have the ballroom and dance as entertainment. He has gotten really good reviews and I think he will be worth the money. We negotiated with him and got a good price for the lighted dance floor.

Hey guys! So I spoke to a travel agent who have me a "group rate". She quoted me at about $305 per room of 2 ppl, or $365 per couple a night including transfers, which I found pretty expensive.

 

Last time I spoke to Shirley was May 15th. I've emailed her 3 times since then, and today I called her and left her a voicemail. I'm hoping that she can give me a better rate.

 

I'm feeling hopeless.

@@Ariana2015 the rate I was given was 228 for 2 ppl in a room in the lowest room class, so that is really expensive. In the beginning Shirley was slow about emailing me back because she was getting my info together, so I am not sure if that is what is going on with her now. I can say dont go through a travel agent go directly through the resort its cheaper and you get more benefits, like free rooms and upgrades.

@@Nursejazz at first I thought $228 was pretty expensive but if I'm getting a rate of $305, i think that's ridiculous. I'm definitely going to wait on Shirley & crossing my fingers she gives me a better rate. Hopefully something closer to the low $200's instead of the $300's.

@@Nursejazz Thanks so much for the info. I went to the HDC website and their photos look really pretty. I would love to see some of your photos if you dont mind. I'm sure they'll do a great job.

@@Mandiesue I am doing something similar to nursejazz. I am using a dj for entertainment. I was going to go with the resort's DJ, but I'm not sure I'm so confident about him. Maybe I'll have a family member DJ - not sure. I am looking forward to nursejazz's reviews.

      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!
