I am not sure if this is the best place to post this question, but I am wondering around how much resorts in Mexico charge per person for food and alcohol (a rough estimate is fine). I know in Los Angeles, a modest estimate is between $80 and $100 before service and tax. I am beginning to plan a budget and thought that might be a good place to start.

Search budget in here and you can find lots of posting of people's final budget. But as far a ball park figure you can get a wedding done for free at some resorts (included in your stay) or I have seen people pay $65 pp for diner only. Do you want a coctail hour, sit down, buffet....? Destination weddings are great because of all the options. Of course it may not make it any easier making a decision. Good luck planning!

Your budget is going to be dependent on if you're staying at an all-inclusive resort or not, how many people going, wether you go with resort vendors or outside vendors, etc... We're having our wedding at an all-inclusive (Dreams Los Cabos) and each event (welcome dinner, wedding ceremony at Gazebo location, reception on Oceana Terrace) are costing $22 a person setup and that includes of course food and drinks for all (though if you want to upgrade to surf n' turf I believe it's something like $15-20 more per person). Do you have any more detail on where you plan on holding your wedding?

      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!
