Hello all!

 

We are so pleased to finally have our perfect destination and have our wedding date booked! I think that was the most stressful part of this whole process and I feel like we can now move forward and let the real fun of planning begin!!

 

Our Wedding is booked for NOVEMBER 10th 2010 @ Our Lucaya Reef Village FREEPORT, GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND...BAHAMAS!! We got a fantastic AI Group Rate that is very affordable ($1100/person & $530 for children)!! So far 30 guests have made their deposits!! So exciting!!

 

We are currently working with a WC-Janet Albury of VIP Services and 'And the Two Became One'...after much debate we decided to go with a Local WC vs Resort Co-ordinator...and I am so happy we did. So far we are very impressed with her work! I swear she is the only one on that island NOT on island time! Her emails are so prompt and really has so many choices and ideas for vendors!! She is always sending me samples and links and is really staying within our budget! She is fantastic!

Hi JenArge! You're not being nosey at all. Our Group rates are for 7 nights from Canada and not a direct flight from where we live...we have to do a quick stop over in Toronto..it is also low season and the end of huricane season..regardless I am very happy with our rates! We do have to pay a little more for Ocean View rooms but most of our guests are staying in traditional island view rooms. Our Lucaya Reef Village is one of 3 hotels that make up Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort. This is the least pricey and geared towards families but you do have access to the entire resort. For AI, I think we are given a sheet that states what restaurants we can choose for meals and it includes alcoholic beverages and non-motorized sports. Apparently, this resort is now a radisson and use to be sheraton/westin...I just got the feeling that the resort co-ordinator didn't really know what she was doing and there was a delay in response to questions I had..she changed her mind a lot and just wasn't sure. Maybe she is new there. Her name is Faye Knowles. She seems nice tho. Please keep in touch..I would love to here about your sight visit! Good Luck!

      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!
