I was hoping to have a shot to show you of the Beach Bar (also called JoJo's Bar), where we went to after the reception, but all our pics have people's direct faces in them and I'm not sure how our friends and fam. would feel about having their pics posted online. It was a really cool area though and very central from Gazebo 55 and Tucanes and had swings that were great for photo's. I would definitely recommend it as a meeting place after the ceremony if you aren't doing a private cocktail reception before your reception.

Great pics!!!! 

 

Is your table set up the "standard" one? I noticed the gold chargers, and was curious. Did you bring the centerpieces with you, or did EDR supply them? How did the votive candles hold up in Tucanes?

 

do you have any pics of the beach bar? either Guacamayas or the Martini bar were recommended for us for the cocktail hour, and I wasn't sure what to recommend. 

 

Sorry for the questions!!!!!

We had votive candles at our rehearsal dinner at Tucanes and they held up fine. I dont recall any blowing out and it was nice to  have a little extra light since the ceilings are so tall, thus their light fixtures are pretty far away.

 

Martini bar is nice for a cocktail hour since it is in the a/c but it is located at the main lobby, so depending on where your wedding is, it might be a hike. Also, if you choose here, make sure the resort is aware of how many people you expect so they can adequately staff the bar. My cousin ended up  having her cocktail hour at Guacamayas because it was her rain location. It si the main bar for nightly entertainment so depending on how late your cocktail hour would be, it might be crowded. That being said, no one was at Guacamayas at my cousins cocktail hour and the space seemed really large adn empty with only the wedding group, and she had 55 people.

 

If it were me, I would opt for the Martini Bar. It's elegant, cool (temperature wise and decor wise) and a good size to host cocktail hour.

Thanks Nikki!

 

We are doing Gazebo 55, and my 1st choice was the martini bar because of the AC factor, even though it's a hike. but it will be in Nov, so outside might be ok too. the cocktail hour should be around 5pm - do you think Guacamayas would be busy then?

 

And I think I will bring some votives for Tucanes after all. I love candle light... and we will have the lanterns too.

Since your reception is at Toucanes, you and your guests are still going to have to hike it from Gazebo 55 to the main area of the resort, so I say go with Martini Bar... P.S. their chocolate martini is AMAZING! Were you planning on having food at your cocktail hour?

 

I dont think Guacamayas would be busy then, but you would be surprised with the humidity feels like even in November. My cousins wedding was late September and we were all quite toasty.

      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!
