Thoughts on Circle Seating? *with a pic*


Recommended Posts

I wanted to provide a more visual example of the circle setup.

 

This photo came from Paul and Rachel's wedding in Tulum.  The orange fabric represents a chuppah.   Guests play musical insturments and are really a big part of the ceremony.

Here the groom waits inside the circle for the bride (Rachel), escorted by her mother.  There are people very close to her, just opening up a gap for the two of them to walk through.

Here is Tal and Terence at Maroma Spa and resort... Without guests.  The circle is clearly outlined with maracas.  Each guests is encouraged to make noise and celebrate when the couple goes to each of the 4 cardinal directions.

Guests arriving, maracas line the circle.

Tal and Terence entering.  To the left, you can see the bride about to enter the circle.  The two people facing the opposite way were her mom and dad. They turn and greeted them when they first arrived in the circle.

and here is one from Ana y Jose Beach Club in Tulum, although they were seated normally at one point, then standing, then circular, all over the place with lots of movement and very very dramatic imagery from this cosmic / maya ceremony.

I JUMP FOR JOY each and every time we have the chance to shoot one.   Specifically, Cosmic Ceremonies or Mayan Ceremonies showcase this style of seating.  Every guest can participate, makes for amazing backgrounds and simply, awesome photography with this kind of setup.

Guests just HAVE fun at these weddings, I've never seen bigger smiles.

everybody throws flowers as they first kiss... or bubbles, or blessed water droplets from doused by flowers... just unreal the emotional reactions and feeling that everybody has..

Offerings are an awesome part of the ceremony involvement.  These cosmic ceremonies ask a permission from the 4 cardinal directions, North, South, East and West... ending with an offering of seeds and fruits to the ocean..

they are throwing apples and mangos at me, seriously thats the splashing you see here...big fun!

 

 

 

hope you can choose a circular guest arrangement.   Maria & Charlie are our HIGHLY Recommended Shamans!  Ask your coordinator today, I think they charge $500 or $600 USD, depending on the location.

    • 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!
