Hello all you lovely brides,

I just wanted to say thank you for your support it literally lifted my spirits so much. The article that was written about my fiancee and I was in hopes that others would see that they weren't alone. We figured there must be a ton of other couples, families and friends in the same predicament and maybe people could help eachother. As it turns out there are more cynics out there than I thought. However, a wedding must go on right?

Jamie and I received an offer from a local golf and country club who wanted to help us out and throw our wedding, since some of our friends including some of our bridal parties had to use their vacations, and the fact that we didn't book our wedding through the resort so we couldn't just go somewhere else, we decided it was a great idea. We are looking at a May 20th wedding date and we are so excited!

Sometimes even when the cards aren't in your favour, things turn out the way they were meant to be.

Like everyone I feel for the couple. How horrible. But I do have a suggestion for them if they are reading these. I would contact TICO, after what happened with conquest they may be able to help with refunds. They insure the TAs, and since this was in no way your fault! Or does it fall under one of those stupid titles of "Act of God" kinda like a hurricane? I hope everything works out for them. Good Luck

That's great Heather! What country club is it? I'd love to know so that I can spread the word about what a great thing they're doing!

I just read the article and the comments on it and I'm completely blown away at how awful people can be. I am ashamed that some of these censored.gif call Ottawa home! I always thought that people were more compassionate than that!

Even though you won't have your Mexican wedding I'm sure that you'll have an amazing, wonderful day!

Well now I'm really happy I posted this!

I'm also curious to know which golf course was generous enough to offer to host your wedding for free. That's really amazing.

    • 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!
