Yay Traci, you found the site!!! I'm sure we have some other Chicago ladies who have some resources.. Jeanetta responded to the thread I posted but I haven't seen her around today.

We've been getting price quotes for a buffet-style dinner for 100 people between $7000 and $9000 (without alcohol or cake!). Can we negotiate? We'd really like to get this down to $3500-$4000 and are wondering if this is realistic.
Hi Traci.. Congrats on the upcoming wedding. Glad you guys decided to do it after the Chicago Marathon or it would have been packed. I'm here in Chi town and my sister recently got married here. She had a sitdown dinner.. but I believe as they were looking for locations .. they did find places would negotiate.. but still prices are pretty high in the city. One option might be to move the reception out a bit, into a close suburb and the price would come down. My sister's wedding was actually in the burbs and the reception in the city.. they rented trolly's .. stocked them full of booze .. and took their out of town guests on a little tour of Chicago, while they had pictures taken.. and had them dropped off at the reception which was about 20 miles away.
Sorry if that's not too helpful.. but feel free to shoot me any questions or if I can help out, let me know!

    • 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!
