Hello everyone!

 

My name is Jamielyn, hoping to secure a date somewhere next May/2011.

This forum has been a great source of information so far!!

 

I''m considering 2 options:

1) Panama - 1wk stay at the RDC but for 1 day & night have my wedding offsite at the Bristol Buenaventura.

2) Punta Cana - in love with the Majestic Colonial, PPR and MPPC

 

I'm super excited to get started! (I've only been engaged for 2 weeks! LOL)

I can't wait til I get my quotes back from my TAs!! :)

 

Any helpful information would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

 

Jamielyn

Hey JR,

 

I'm also from Toronto!! Getting married in November! cheesy.gif

I dont know if you have committed to a TA yet, but I used Weddings by Oceans, and they really got me the best price. I had about 3-4 different TA's looking into pricing for me and they beat out everyone! I found them at the wedding show in January, but other then that all of our sorting of details has been over the phone or email. They have a website if you wanna check them out!

GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for all your responses ladies!! I'm officially a BDWF addict!! LOL

After speaking with more family members, I think most of them are really hype about going to Panama and one cousin said "I'd rather pay the extra $300 to go to Panama than save $300 and go to Punta Cana again." lol I already had figured my fam wouldn't want to go to PC again, but I fell in love with Phil Steingards pictures at the Majestic and couldn't help but keep it as my 2nd option if Panama doesn't work out.

I'm finding it hard especially since my resort isn't a typical AI, (OH YA! I changed my mind about RDC and am working on negotiating better rates for the entire week at the BB instead!) so booking flights & hotel stay separately, and staying within a reasonable budget is my challenge. I really don't want my guests to spend more than $1500-1700ea... definitely under $2000!

 

Steph - Just curious if Wedding by Oceans charges a fee? I know 'The Wedding Holiday' does not, whereas LUXE does, but do not want to use LUXE anyway. Initially just working with 2 TAs and seeing what my quotes come back as... How long did you take before you settled on a final group rate?

      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!
