Hi everybody : )

 

I've been a "lurker" on this board for quite some time & now I'm proudly a member. So happy to be here! : ) I've been engaged since June 2009, and I am finally commiting to the search for the "perfect" wedding destination ~ lol.

 

Our original plan was to go to Hawaii and get married, but most of our family and friends could not afford that. So....we are looking for an all inclusive resort thats affordable from Washington State.

 

We think we will have appx. 20 people. This of course, brought me to Dreams PV, mainly because of the cost, and the short flight time. Also, we'd like someplace very warm with that tropical feel.

 

I have December 2010 in mind & my hope was to go between Xmas & Nyears, but I'm thinking this might be a lot more money & booking a few weeks sooner or later might save us a bundle & make it easier on others going as well.

 

I just received an email from Vacations to Go with a special for Pueblo Bonito, which is on AI in the PV area I had not heard of. I'm starting my research on that & I also really like the sounds of Vallarta Palace, but have not researched prices yet to compare it to Dreams.

 

Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself & say Hello! : )

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I hear you on wanting to keep costs as low as possible for your guests (I wanted the exact same thing). One thing to keep in mind when choosing a date are holidays - travel costs spike at the times of the year that are most popular. Unfortunately, pretty much all of December falls into this so you will pay a premium on boths flights and at resorts for this. Perhaps consider a date that is just after the holiday season and prior to "spring break"- you and your guests will save!

 

Good luck!

I too am looking at Dreams PV....however, I was told that time (between xmas and New Years) is already booked? Just FYI. Plus I was told by a travel agent that flight at that time will be a bit more spendy due to the holidays?? In addition, I am having a difficult time getting the wedding consultant at Dreams PV to respond to my emails.....and I can't find a 800 number to call her? If you have any luck, let me know!

 

GOOD LUCK! :)

Welcome the forum as a posting member! It looks like you can't go wrong with either Dreams or Pueblo Bonito. They both look beautiful and experienced with handling weddings. I flew to Playa Del Carmen just after the New Year on January 2nd to photograph a wedding and the prices were great, no more than I got for the rest of the year. Between Christmas and New Year may be a different story. Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure you will have a beautiful wedding, good luck planning!

Thanks for the welcome everybody & thanks for the advise! I am finding that between Christmas & New Years is more $$$, so I am now researching later in January. I'll let everybody know.

 

Also, (JenDen I think?), I have not received a reply back from the wedding coordinator either, but it's only been a couple of days. From what I understand from this forum, this is ~ although frustrating, normal. I'll let you know when I hear. : )

      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!
