You brides are so sweet and helpful! :)

I actually bought a dress that day! The first dress that I tried on ever was THE one for me! :) Went over our budget by a few hundred, but my fiance and I just fell in love with it. 

I am really finding it hard to find samples of videography I like for the budget that I'm going for. Any recommendations, beautiful brides??

fallfromgrace, I'm willing to consider any options at this point.. :)

 

Anyone - How has your experience been with Marbelle? Thinking of doing with Precious Maui Weddings, but they only offer up to 48 prints. Do they also provide you with a CD with all the pictures? I don't care so much about the prints itself. I can always get them printed at a local Costco. I'm not too excited about their sample videos online, but if someone has a better video for me to view to change my mind, I'd really appreciate it :)

I have Marbelle booked as my photographer. I contacted her about buying the negatives on a disk and she quoted me $300. I've heard that someone else from Precious Maui Weddings was quoted $100. But I was told it depends on which package you book.

I'm not having a videographer but someone else on here used Marbelle before for it and was happy with the video.

Hi SheeMz!   I'm getting married this October in Maui, too.  I feel your pain about feeling rushed- I was too naive to realize how close I was cutting it until I went wedding dress shopping this week:)  There isn't a lot to choose from where I live but fortunately I found one off the rack yesterday and bought it.   

 

This is what I have so far:  I went with Maui Precious Weddings but brought in my own photographer.  Kim Aihara at Aihara Visuals is so sweet and does awesome work.  Plus you get the rights to all the pictures on DVD.  The ceremony and reception is at Gannon's.  I'm also still looking for places to stay- most likely will be somewhere in Kihei.  I still have so much to figure out. 

 

We can do it!  :)

ajpinak, that's awesome! When is your wedding? Congrats on your wedding dress! I know how you must've felt. I felt the same way when I went wedding dress shopping and found how long it actually takes if you don't purchase a dress off the rack! I was a mess! But luckily, found something that both my fiance and I loved, and purchased it right on the spot! 

 

I'm thinking of going with norasphotos for photography as suggested by a couple brides from this forum. she does amazing work, as well, and would be soo happy if she gives us a green signal on everything we want. Are you going with a videographer? How many people are going to be at your wedding? I still need to find a place where we can have dinner. The reception route sounds too expensive for us. We are planning on a reception in California when we get back 1-2 months later so all the people who could not attend the wedding could be there for the reception.

 

Please keep me in the loop if you find a great place to stay at. Were you thinking hotel/resort/condo? There is soo much to plan!

Lolita, thanks, sweetie! I'll be sure to post some pictures once I get back to California :)

 

Amanda, thank you for the information. I, too, spoke with Deanne and she gave me a quote of $300 as well. I'm thinking of going with Marbelle for my videography as I have not found anyone better to fit my budget. As for photography, I might go with norasphotos.

We worked with Deanne from Precious Maui Weddings and Marbelle too! We were originally quoted a price of $300 to buy the right to all of the images on a CD. Jen (one of the photographers) later gave us a better deal. We didn't have a videographer, but I know other brides have been happy with Marbelle's work. I would highly recommend them. We had such a hard time choosing which photos to select for printing.

    • 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!
