Hi there,

 

We are getting married at the Royal Caribbean Resort on May 22, 2010. Any other brides or grooms out there that have had a Martha Stewart, Beautiful Beginnings wedding? I wanted to hear from anyone who has had the "free" wedding and hear what you thought about it, what you would "add" on or about any of the extras you did add on...

 

Also, what did you do for a "reception" afterwards? Did you pay extra to have a private cocktail or dinner reception? I am not sure if I should pay for a private reception as I feel like we have already paid for our food and drinks. Can you make reservations at a restaurant for a few people (10 people)?

 

Any thoughts, experiences, ect... would be SO appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Lisa

I went to a wedding at Sandals Negril in early 2009, so the Martha Stewart weddings were not available then, but they had a similar package called the "Carefree Wedding," which was free. The bride and groom decided not to add on any extras, but since they had 10 rooms booked by their guests, they were able to have a private rehearsal dinner and a half hour appetizer/champagne/cake reception following the ceremony. I believe the price for the half hour reception is $15/person if you don't have 10 rooms booked. Later that evening (they were married in the early afternoon), we all met up at one of the restaurants for dinner. There were around 30 of us, and they had no problem setting aside a corner of one of the restaurants, so it was semi-private and we had our own menu to choose from. I believe this was at no extra charge. Everything turned out great, and we were able to party together at the piano bar afterward. I agree that it doesn't really make sense to pay $75/person at an all inclusive resort to have the private reception unless that is what you really want and have the money to do it. I believe it would be quite easy to secure reservations for 10 people in one of the restaurants. The staff at the resort (and the wedding coordinator) will really try to make you happy.

 

After staying in Negril over the weekend for their wedding, my boyfriend (now fiance) and I went to Sandals Royal Caribbean for an additional three nights before leaving the island. If you have any questions about the resort or the difference between these two resorts, I would be happy to answer them. I'm not sure if they give you the option of getting married on the private island, but if they do, I think it would be a wonderful location. It feels very tropical (even more so than the main resort) and would be more private.

      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!
