We are bringing our own photographer but she didn't ask about a safe... But I know they have them in the room, you just have to pay extra when you use it.  Maybe they could use a lock on a large suitcase and keep all their equipment in there if they didin' t want to pay or if it wasn't big enough.  One thing to remember though is that all of their equipment should be insured (if it isn't then they shouldn't be traveling with thousands of dollars worth of equipment), so I certainly wouldn't stress out too much trying to figure that stuff out for them.  Obviously you want their stuff to be safe but the safety of their equipment shouldn't be your main concern...you are the bride- you have enough things to worry about already!  :)

Hey Ladies well I just got home!!!

 

Wedding was beautiful, quick and simple!!!

 

We met with Chandlyn (who is very kind and sweet btw) our meeting took all of 10 minutes to say yes no to whatever I wanted. I had brought my own chair sashes, table runners, centerpieces etc.. so I just dropped everything off at the front desk including my sand ceremony and they set everything up perfectly for me!

 

Wedding day she picked me up at the front lobby and drove us down the the end of the walkway to the Gazebo.

 

Wedding ceremony took only 15 minutes and we had NO RAIN!!!

 

I had the free package and had 26 people with me and didn't have to pay for chair covers but we did have to pay 25 per person for the additional people over 16 that were allowed for dinner.

 

dinner was at the italian, we did no speeches etc cause we wanted to keep it simple. Everyone enjoyed dinner and it was a great night.

 

WARNING - Hotel photographer was HORRIBLE!!! soooo glad I brought one down with me. I don't think they use a UV filter on their camera as all the pictures were hazy and it would appear they need more modern equipment.. the stabalizer on their camera was all over the place. I took the 5 pictures included in my package and that was it.. I didn't even want those 5!!

 

I met Tris down there and she was a sweetheart!!! I will post pics as soon as I have them uploaded. Feel free to ask any questions!!

yay Erin, Congrats!!  So happy for you!!!  I'm glad you didn't get any rain and it sounds like you had the perfect day!  What did food to you choose for your dinner and how was it?  Did you do anything after the dinner for a reception?  I'm happy to hear that you brought stuff for them to set up and they did it as you had wanted, I was worrying about that.  Can't wait to see pics!!

Congrats Erin!!  glad everything went well.  it's such a relief for the rest of us!! lol  can't wait to see pics!!!  let's hope we all get to say "no rain"

 

first question - the resort did your sand ceremony??? I've already seen here that it got left to the groom to bring with him and set up! if there is any chance I can get them to do it that's great. it's the only way to make sure it gets done the right way. my other half has already asked what the heck we're supposed to do with this thing???  which confirms what I've always believed and that is that all men are hopeless!!  lol  but we love them anyway!!!

Ok, 1st off.. I looked into the webstream too cause my sister too was pregnant and couldn't come.. it is 100% NOT live.. basically they will video it, and then broadcast it (like youtube) later on.. it is by no means a LIVE FEED.. and the same guy who the hotel would have put you in touch with offered it to me for 150.. knock him down if you really want to do it.. but it's NOT LIVE.

 

The sand ceremony, yes they set everything up for me. I dropped everything off at the front desk and even drew a diagram how my centerpieces went together.. it was perfect when I arrived.. however they did loose my centerpieces.. which wasn't a major deal cause i prob would have left them anyways.. but they DID loose them...

 

If you DO happen to choose the hotel photographer you MUST go see them the next day to get your pictures printed... They told me that you must give 3 days notice.. and if you get married within the 3 days god knows how you get your photos.. I argued with the guy (who was VERY ignorant) and he finally put them on a disc for me...

 

I had caprese salad, penne napeleno (sp), chicken risotto, and tiramisu and it was all delish!!!

 

pics attached!!!

      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!
