Cabo Azul

[fate14]

Hi everyone!

 

I was wondering if anyone has already had their wedding at the Cabo Azul resort. If so is it realistic to plan a wedding of about 100 guests with a $20,000 budget? If anyone could help me with how much they spent/packages etc I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

Cabo Azul is a gorgeous resort. I think that $20,000 may not be enough to have a wedding there for 100 guests. If I recall correctly, the dinner was about $60pp and $50pp for 3 bar hours. Hope this helps.

You should get in contact with the weddings people. I just returned from a vacation at Cabo Azul and have decided to get married there. It was gorgeous!!!!!!!!

 

The hotel staff could give you an excel estimates sheet for you to work with if you are seriously considering having your event there. But yes that may not be enough. The alcohol consumption costs are a min. of $47.50/person and the food consumption (I'll have to double check on this figure) was about $65.00/person. We were crunching numbers with my fiance and we anticipate a wedding with 40 guests will cost us about $10,000 USD. But that's including practically everything.

 

Having looked at the place I can say it's EXCELLENT value for the money. And the food is outstanding. I can't wait to have my wedding there!

 

Maybe you should get in touch with the staff to discuss your options.

 

All the best!!!

DId you end up getting married there?  I am looking to go to Cabo Azul but am worried about the costs.  Does anyone have any information?

Cabo Azul was also on top on my list but unfortunately was out of budget for us. =( Soooo gorgeous though and I love looking at all the other couples' wedding photos from there!

We are getting married at Cabo Azul (150 guests) and we made sure to get quotes from several hotels in the area.  It is pricey but it is actually more comparable to the Hilton and Sheraton prices.  Las Ventanas, Dreams, and Marquis were all more expensive than Cabo Azul...

 

When you book, there isn't much room for negotiation (believe me, we tried!) when it comes to on-site food and beverage prices, but all other services can come from outside vendors.  I am doing a lot of the planning (flowers, decorations, photography, rehearsal, etc) myself and would be happy to share what I've found.  All of my vendors with the exception of the photographers and hair and make-up are cheaper than what Cabo Azul originally quoted me.    More work, but less money! 

 

If you are still interested, PM me and I'll be happy to share more.

Good luck with all your planning! I am getting married at Dreams on April 11th 2011.

I'd love to hear more about the vendors you chose? I am considering Cabo Azul but unsure of the costs... I have some time but would appreciate the advice!!
