This is great! Thanks again. I have one question, and I'm sorry if you've mentioned this before, but is that the pool terrace or the pool deck?

I think everyone just put them in their luggage wrapped in tissue - They were so easy to fluff up - on the way home I just threw it in the suite case and it was perfect just needed to adjust the wires so the flowers spread out - they weren't super huge and didn't take up a ton of room - so even those who used boxes didn't have space issue.

We had our reception on the Pool Deck - its the drop off side of the infinity pool between the pool and the beach.

How many different entrees did you give your guests to choose from? Im still confused lol and it takes forever to get a response from Gina.

Hi Just wondering how it was for wind having the reception outside? I really want to take advantage of the outdoors but dont want people to be upset if it's too windy? I see you mentioned something about the candles? Is the Carribean buffet part of the package?

To be honest the whole week we were there the wind was just perfect that night - just a slight breeze so there was no bugs.  The other nights it was crazy windy.  Now... just to let you know, it was a changing of the seasons the last 2 weeks which means all this rain comes in and wind, which pushes more warm air in.  They said it is how they know "spring" is here.  In that case I would see if other brides who had weddings around your date have had less windy weather.  

 

Yeah The candles didn't stay lit even with the breeze coming in - I would recommend flameless either way.  

 

The Carribean buffet is 1 of the 3 choices in the Ultimate package if your party is over 40 people - 

 

Tonight I will update my blog with the other options for dinners.

Evangelina told me that we had to choose one entree for everyone. I think it seems weird. If anyone else was able to give their guests options, please let me know how to go about doing so.

      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!
