My daughters wedding is May 2010. The wedding is at 1PM and we are having the 4 course dinner and the 2 hr reception. Has anyone done this and how was the food. Any suggestions? We are thinking of having the 2 hr dinner,

the steel drum band for one hour and then the DJ for the other hour so we can dance. I'm not sure if there would be too much hassle to set all this up?

It is hard to picture how all of this will come about. What music did you use

to come down the aisle at the start of the wedding. Recorded?

Hi Inquisitive Mom! Welcome to the forum! I'm also a Beaches bride in May 2010 - what day is your daughters wedding?

 

I know I'm not a recent bride, but I'll try to help as much as I can. Our ceremony is at 4pm, and while we are still in the planning stages, I'm thinking that after the ceremony we'll take some pictures, have a cocktail hour, and then move on to dinner. We are debating between on having a private dinner or not...I like the idea of having it private, but I think spending so much additional money when it's already AI doesn't make sense either. Have you received the menu selection for the private dinner? If not, let me know and I can post it for you. In my opinion, the menu looked good, but nothing extraordinary.

 

For the ceremony we will be using an iPod and probably bringing our own portable sound system (FBIL has a nice one he can bring). I think I'm using Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole when I walk down the aisle, and we have a few songs picked out to be played while the guests are being seated as well. There are some great threads on here for song ideas for the ceremony, first dance, etc.

 

I like the idea of the steel drum band for the cocktail hour, but we are also considering just using the iPod for everything - we have some really great songs picked out and it would save some money as well.

 

I wouldn't worry about the hassle part - the resort staff will take care of everything so it's exactly as your daughter wants it. I'm not sure if you are looking to have a private reception for the dancing part, but I do know they can set up a dancefloor on the beach or in the garden (wherever you are having your private dinner) and I believe the fee for that is $200.

 

Good luck with your planning :)

      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!
