We are planning a full reception when we get back home (for about 150-175 family/friends) so we're trying to cut our costs at MP since most people won't be there.

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks!


We are probably only having about 35 guests as well. But you only need to have 15 room nights booked through a group/wedding contract to qualify for a free private cocktail hour so just with our room and my parents room we already qualify. I don't think it would be any problem and might actually be fun for your whole group to just take over one of the many bar areas.

I think it depends on who you are working with and how persistent you are in getting what you want.  I asked my WC in MI so many questions that she eventually just gave up and gave me the contact info for my onsite WC.  You definitely can and without putting down a deposit.

The two things that I refuse to compromise on are photography and food - especially the cake. I am definitely a cake snob. For me, an outside videographer will depend on whether I have extra funds after I pay for the must-haves.

 

I'm not very picky but am nervous due to what I've read. That's why I'm going with an outside photographer. Photos are very important to me and will not take chances with that. I've booked with Moments that matter photography and their work is amazing. I've read great reviews about them. food is important as well and from what I've read, i have no worries. Video really isn't a huge deal for me, however, it's something that I will have forever as memories. Therefore, I think I will look into an outside videographer because I don't want to have regrets due to not wanting to spend the extra money.

    • 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!
    • 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!
