I think I had 4 pre ceremony songs.  I made sure I labelled clearly which songs were for what so that they knew once they had the signal to change it to the bridesmaid song and they did a great job of this.

I am not sure about the other wedding packages but if you get the Unforgettable package there is a little musical trio (steel drums) that play before and after the ceremony so you don't have to worry about music.

Has anyone been having any difficulty with the wedding planners at the resort regarding some of what they claim to offer in the package vs. what is actually being offered?!

 

For instance, the newest Romance Extravaganza states "live music during the ceremony".  When I spoke to Vivette about wanting a sax player she said that is HAS to be the steel band.  Nowhere in writing does it say, 'steel band', so I dont know why all of a sudden I have to pay extra to have a sax player when the package simply states "live music". 

 

Soooo frustrating!!  Anyone else having this problem?????

 

 

Also, I really wanted to do something different with the menu vs. eating the same thing that my guests will be eating all week.  So I wanted to bring in an Indian caterer (my favourite food!).  The resort is not allowing me to bring in an Indian catered because "I'm not Indian"!!?!?!.  I couldn't believe it.  VERY prejudiced.  She has never seen me nor my fiancee and doesnt know what kind of guests I'll be bringing.  Where do they get off telling me that I'm not Indian so I can't have Indian food delivered?!  I can, however, have a different cake from an outside bakery delivered.  WTF?! 

 

Becoming very frustrated with them telling me what I can and can't do for my special day. 

 

(sorry, had to vent!)

I am planning on having the Unforgettable package and I am super excited about having the steel drums for the ceremony, we had already planned on paying extra for the steel drums so when we found out that this package included it we decided to go with it and have it included!!

Hey Past GBP Brides...

 

For those of you that had a flower girl, did you have flower petals for her to throw? I'm having difficulty figuring out what I'm going to do for my flower girl.... I don't know if I can bring in freeze dried petals (which aren't cheap....) and the petals from the resort are VERY expensive....

 

I have asked the WC if I could have her sprinkle glitter (not a lot... tiny hands and all...) and I didn't get a straight yes or no. They dodged the question and suggested she carry a basket that says "here comes the bride" instead.... I'm not too fond of the idea.

 

Soon-to-be-Brides... what have you been planning?

 

-M

To tell you the truth, I really don't like having to pay for an open bar at an all inclusive resort.  I realize that its is the bartender and not the booze your paying for but I priced it out and I didn't really find it to be much better than the unforgettable for the difference in price

      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!
