Hi! We have been looking at several resorts and narrowed down to 7... we are hoping to narrow down to 3-4 choices soon! After a bit of research, we decided to just make a trip there.

 

My difficulty is...we only want to make one trip to keep cost down. Should we do it now to help make our selection...or should we wait until we have everything booked and just go for one final site inspection? What are the positive and negatives of either one?

 

Another thing we are wonder is... is it worth it to hire an outside wedding planner to deal with all the communications with the resort coordinators. Sounds like a lot of the negative experience is due to some resort coordintor's services.

 

Wedding planning is tough! I'm so glad there's a whole community of you here :)

First and foremost, pick a date/month for your wedding. Then schedule a trip (ideally for 7 - 10 days) around the time period you would like to get married to get an idea for the weather.

 

Gather information on all the venues on your short list and schedule appointments with the coordinators beforehand.

 

One trip should be enough if you have done all the legwork. DO NOT BOOK until you return from your scouting trip!!! Take some time to think things through before putting down a deposit since it is likely non-refundable. I am speaking from personal experience and hope this helps.

 

Happy Planning!!!

      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!
