Gazebo 55 is perfect...the back drop is absolutely gorgeous. There are rocks behind it and when the waves are big enough it makes a beautiful splash behind the gazebo. Tucanes is definitely the way to go for the reception. Everything was beautiful, we rented the sound system for $250 and brought my iPod and one of the staff played our music all night. We danced for hours then everyone ended up jumping in the pool. All of our guests told us is was the best reception they had ever been to. Will post pics as I get them. Also, instead of buying flowers for the reception, we had glass cylinders on the tables for the bridesmaids bouquets and we had the flowers we had made for the gazebo placed on the table also. Everything came together beautifully. 400

YAY Shannon!!! I'm so glad everything has gone wonderful for you. Enjoy the rest of your stay there. Oh, and if you go to La Isla for dinner, ask for a Coochie Coochie drink cheers.gif that was the only bar who knew how to make it, and it was DELISH (despite the hokey name).

The candlelight dinners are on the beach there every night and everything is lit up so pretty. I think building 5 is ideal because its right beside the main heated pool where we spent most of our time while everyone was here.
We are in Casita number 2922 and it is a swim up. No complaints. It's literally right across from the Casita Spa which was very convenient on our wedding day. The swim ups in the casitas are heated whereas the regular swim ups aren't.

We planned a "Black and White Party" where we invited all of our guests to meet at the martini bar after dinner on their arrival day. We requested everyone where black and white, no color, so we had the feel that we were a group at a non-private location. I thought it worked out great! People liked the idea of the party, we had custom cocktail napkins made for the party and the bartenders used them for our group. Word of advise, make sure that you let Valeria know that you are planning something like this (if you chose to) and she can let the hotel know that they might need additional bartenders on hand to handle the large group. We were not able to have food at the informal gathering, but everyone had just come from dinner so it wasnt a problem. We all went to see the show andn the main bar after the B&W party and it was a lot of fun!

I don't remember all of it - peach liquor and champagne were two of the ingredients. it was yummy and light. the waiters were so tickled with themselves for bringing it to me.

 

I will say that EDR has unique names for drinks - Sh*t on the grass was a popular one, and donkey sperm too. I know, I know, I'm so sorry if any of you gals are offended by those names. But it's for real - I cannot make those up!!! and yes, despite the disgusting names, they were yummy drinks.

 

beware the diablo though...that sucker will punch you in the gut!

  Shannon, is there anything in particular that made your night so much fun?  Anything other than the typical I should be thinking to include?

      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!
