Reception on the beach??


Recommended Posts

My ceremony will be on the beach but now I am trying to decide whether to have the reception (full dinner and dancing) on the sand as well. I sort of just assumed the reception would be on the sand but now my father and fiance don't seem to like this idea. Their concerns are.... #1 people will have to be dressed up but barefoot. They don't think someone in a suit will be comfortable on the beach with no shoes. #2 The chairs can get stuck in the sand. Also, if it is windy, will the sand end up all over the place, even in the food?

 

I am hoping to get some feedback. Is anyone else looking into having the reception on the beach? Is there anyone who already had their reception on the beach and has positive/negative feedback to give about it?

 

Thanks!!

My family had the same issues so we decided against it. Hopefully someone who has done will give feedback but in my opinion there were too many drawbacks to having it on the beach, especially considering that it'll be dark and you won't really be able to see the ocean. Just my 2 cents!]

I'm not having my ceremony on the beach, but I think would depend on several things, like when and where is your wedding? Sometimes when the sun goes down, it can be cool by the water. I agree with your father and FI about being in a suit and barefoot. For us ladies, sundresses would probably be ok.

We are having our ceromony on the beach, lounge furniture and a dance floor set up on the beach for cocktails and dancing, and will have dinner on the pool deck, which is only a couple yards away. Is there some where eles you could have dinner...People always take there shoes of for dancing anyways so I don't think they would mind that part on the beach

    • 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!
