Elena, I am getting married in Riviera Maya in May - in Akumal. I just sent out 83 Save the dates and most of them are couples.. In Akumal there are a lot of small places to stay and awesome villas to rent. Also, Playa Del Carmen has smaller hotels you could rent out as well. Have fun searching. Oh, and my friend had their wedding at Ceiba del Mar which is gorgeous. It's all inclusive, but not huge at all. You may want to look at that if you are into the resort thing but don't want Large resort. contact me if i can help at all. I'm in beginning stages myself and we also have a large group planning on joining us. it's going to be a blast! Congrats to you.

Hi Elena,

 

Welcome to the board and congratulations!!

 

Hmmm.... Mayan Riviera... boutique hotel for 170 ppl. That's a toughie! There are a lot of hotels in the Mayan Riviera area especially around Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, but I'm not sure if any of the boutique hotels could accomodate 170 easily. Have you thought about having a main hotel and then offering the option for guests to stay at a couple nearby hotels? There are lots of resources here on the board.

 

Good luck, and congrats again!

Hey everyone,

 

Thanks so much for the welcoming messages! I have been considering contacting a TA but just wasn't sure if they could negotiate better terms than we could w/ the hotels directly (I previously reached out to a handful of wedding coordinators but they only referred me to the big resorts).

 

Can any of you recommend TA's that have experience handling extra big groups?

 

As for our search so far, unfortunately, the smaller hotels we've found have either (1) prohibitively high room rates for our guests (there is no way we can ask our guests to pay upwards of $400 a night!!!) or (2) not enough rooms!

 

We are also considering an off-site location (including haciendas) but we havent found any so far that can fit so many people. We have our work cut out for us!

      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!
