I do not exactly what our meals are as I have that on my home computer but I will deff post when i get home and have access to it... but we have also added a huge cake that feeds 70 people even though we are only having 35 attending (i wanted the dramatic effect lol) and we have booked fire dancers, cold fireworks && my sister who is part of a local (here in OC) tahitian dance group will be performing a special dance for us. Ooooh I cant wait until your wedding...I'll definitely be looking forward to your review if you chose to do so, and your pictures...Have you done any DIY favors, OOT bags etc?
We're having both the ceremony and reception on the beach, with the cocktail reception at that little area behind the gazebo. We've got about the same number attending, 31 is the final count I believe! We just decided to book a DJ also instead of doing our own music as that was stressing me out quite a bit. We are doing OOT bags; I got the bags off of oriental trading co for $10 for a dozen, and they're a great sized beach bag! We're going to put little things in there like candles, mints, hershey kisses that I got off of oriental trading and then I saw some great stuff at Joanns Fabrics the other day like print at home water bottle labels, champagne bottle favors with print at home labels that we're going to put made at home bath salts in. I'm also going to try and find some decently priced picture frames to put in the bags, or I'm going to buy ceramic ones from the dollar store and paint them in pink and orange, our wedding colors. I've got a lot of ideas that I need to start getting on lol!

AND i'm getting married in three weeks and i still haven't been able to get a correct bill so i can pay my final payment. i'm a very low-key kind of girl and am doing great with everything overall, but the service i've received has been absolutely terrible. other girls with other WCs have had much better experiences - you may want to try getting another WC to save yourself a LOT of worry and stress.

i don't mean to worry you at all, i just wanted to share the experience i've had... good luck to you, and hope all goes well!

Angie is my third WC (my first two were fired) and they have all been slow as molasses. I emailed her 4 times and left 2 phone messages over the last two weeks for my final bill and I never got it. You'd think they would want to be payed?? You have to call and actually get her on the phone to get anything done. I finally got her yesterday... she answered a lot of my questions but I'm till waiting on that bill...

it is so frustrating getting into contact with those wedding coordinators! both my mom and I call the michigan office and sometimes even then we can't get through! I called Angie on Monday and actually got through to her without being on hold for a long time and she said she'd email me this and that and it's almost 5 days later and nothing, so she'll be getting a phonecall from me tomorrow for sure! It's crazy how terrible they are at communication...I would think being in the wedding business they'd be a little better at that! I'm starting to freak out that everything I've sent Angie in terms of wedding choices isn't going to get communicated to the resort and that nothing is going to be the way it's supposed to...but I guess all I can do is wait and see, and hope! I'm glad to know it hasn't just been me having issues with her, but I hope they start getting better at communication for future brides because it makes this whole process more stressful and frustrating than it needs to be. Whew, I needed to vent lol!

    • 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!
