Hi Katiem2012,

Our guests had to submit their deposits by October for an early booking bonus.... We wanted to make sure our guests had tons of time to plan... we even sent our Save the Dates out in April 2011 lol.

I've got the major decisions done like our photographer, videographer, cake, bouquet, etc...but yes, a lot of stuff is left til when we get there which is kind of stressful. I think I'm going to do welcome bags but haven't done too much for them yet. I think after Christmas it's going to just fly by and we'll be down there before we know it!

Hello

I registered here a long time ago when I was still debating whether or not to go ahead with a destination wedding.   Congrats to all past and future brides.  I finally booked my date, which is June 5th, 2012 @ Grand Palladium Punta Cana. woot2.gif  There is so much information here that I've spent hours reading and reading.wacko.gif   I've walked away with some very useful information though.  Thanks posters!  1-pray.gif

    • 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!
