I can’t believe that it is already time for me to post this! We leave on Saturday and it seems like just yesterday I had over a year to go!

 

I just want to begin by thanking Tammy for creating this forum in the first place and all of her hard work running it (and thanks to all the MODs too!). I don’t know where I would be without BDW!!! Thank you also to everyone else on the forum for sharing your ideas and advice! I’ve gotten so much inspiration from you all and I’ve met some truly amazing people on here. With that I also want to say that I’m sorry if I haven’t credited specific people for certain ideas, everyone here is so creative and sometimes I can’t keep all the great ideas straight!!!

 

***I apologize in advance for some of the picture quality, unfortunately I’m a horrible photographer!***

 

So to start here is our story (it was a really long post, be warned if you want to read it, lol):

      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!
