Has anyone seen the new 2012/2013 "Wedding Collection" Catalogue from Transat? I just received one at a wedding show, and didn't think a whole lot of it until I started looking more closely.   The

Trust me, you won't even notice them! Our photographer and one of my aunts did a good job of shooing people out of camera shots. But, we still had more than one guy in a speedo, lots of onlookers, etc (rumor has it there was a topless woman as well...who knows!) It's crazy how focused you'll be on just your husband...and those random-onlooker photos are pretty fun to look back on :)

Hey guys! I just started looking at destination weddings and one of our options is Ocean Sand & Blue for August 2013! Do any of you know if you can do the reception at the beach? Also, how about additional flowers, they only give you flowers for one table? And has anybody been quoted a price from Toronto for 2013 for a week. Phew, this is my first go at 1) ever writing on a forum 2) thinking about destination weddings 3) starting to plan!  You guys seem like seasoned pros now!

 

Thanks for all your help!

Isn't it weird?? I seriously didn't even notice him, and neither did a lot of my guests, apparently!

 

I used HDC photography and LOVED them. Their prices were super reasonable, and I had prints done down there, so I went home with just about everything in hand. I would absolutely recommend them.

Hey Jelena04!

Congrats on your future wedding!

 

Mine is set for July 2013, and my reception will be at La Brasa restaurant which is on/by the beach. Yes, it's one flower arrangement included in the package, but they have a list of additional services/items on top of the package you choose. Prices from Toronto for one week that I've gotten have been pretty high, unfortunately. The latest one I got was $1600+ after taxes, with a great promo, but it's still pretty expensive for my guests, so I'm waiting to get more quotes and hope that they get better.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, and i'll be as helpful as i can (i've only just begun myself)

 

Good luck with your planning!! :)

Hey Jelena04 & Jade,

 

I'm also leaving from Toronto but my wedding is Jan 2013.  When I first got my quote my TA told me $1600 too.  I told her that was too high and she came back to me a couple of days later with $1470.  not sure if it being in Jan makes a difference but keep on your TA and if she can't lower the price try looking around for other quotes.

      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!
