Melissa (Mel&B)'s Planning Thread!


Recommended Posts

I actually just got back from my wedding, but I ran out of time to post this thread before I left. I found BDW after selecting my wedding site (Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta), but I know it would have made my life a million time easier if I would have found BDW earlier in the process. This site gave me so many wonderful ideas about how to make my wedding special. I am so grateful to everyone for sharing their ideas, templates, support, etc. I'd like to return the favor and post my planning thread. Here it goes!

    • 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!
