I'd like to talk to someone (by email/phone) to ask questions regarding their wedding experience. I am getting married at Beaches Negril in October and am just wondering a few things. Such as, did they allow you to do any of your own decorations without the charge. If someone would contact me, I would appreciate it.

we are going with the BB package and doing specific add-ons, such as the seaside serenade arch  (there is no arch included with bb if you get married on the sand).  I was told by Monica that they won't let guests into the ceremony property early to do the set-up, so you prob will have to pay the $250 unless you get a very helpful WC on site.  I plan on bringing it down, but not including it in my package with monica, then asking the onsite coordinator to do it.  If she won't, then, they can charge me the $250 at that point.

So we had our first call with the wedding consultant yesterday, and when we declined to do any add on decorations and said we would most likely bring some stuff from home, she said that we will be charged at least $250 for this and up, depending on what it is. When we specifically mentioned center pieces, she stated that they charge more then $250 for that, but wouldn't give us a number. I've only read on here that they will charge $250, so I'm budgeting that, but has anybody had any experience where they have charged more then this, or that they have actually gotten away with not paying anything. I was planning on taking down center pieces/table decorations and possible decorations for the chairs at the actual ceremony.

Hi Dymond6! I was in my best friend's wedding last June at Beaches Negril (my FI and I are going with the Sandals Grande St Lucian next April). She got married in the gazebo with the BB theme and had a one hour reception with a DJ on the beach (actually my current profile pic). It was great. The food was good and the service was way beyond expectation. They took such great care of everyone. We all then went to one of the resort restaurants for dinner (I can't remember the name right now, but it was the only one where you had to walk up the stairs to get to, it was italian/steakhouse inspired and was excellent!).There were about 15 of us and they arranged 2 tables so some did not sit at the main table, but the majority of us were able to sit together without issue. It was all so very nice and I am sure your experience will be the same. Let me know if you have any specific resort/location questions. Also, make sure to go to Rick's Cafe one day for at least the sunset. Simply amazing. However, do NOT use the taxi the resort suggests. They say it is $20 (for a 10 minute ride) which seems reasonable, but they really mean per person. They wanted $160 for 8 of us to take a 10 minute ride. You wouldn't even pay that in NYC. There are reputable drivers that you can call that will charge you per vehicle,not per person. Use them.There is a designated license plate color for drivers certified to be safe that you can trust. Also, travel the island! It is so dynamically different from place to place. You won't be sorry. Anyway, let me know if you have any questions and happy planning!!!

    • 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!
