Hello and welcome, I think it depends on what you want

Whether its AI?

How many people your having?

If your having kids?

If you want a beach wedding?

Cost?

 

etc, etc

 

Have you looked at any places you like? What kind of wedding do you have in mind? As that depends on the legal stuff 2 xox

 

Good luck, Let us know how you go :-) x

My daughter was married at the Fairmont Mayakoba, and she and her husband chose to have a legal wedding stateside.  This way, they were sure that everything was properly recorded, that their marriage is recognized in the US, and they did not have to go down early for the blood tests outside their medical community.  Rings and vows were exchanged on the beach in Mexico, and there is no confusion over where the marriage took place.  Some brides do it all in Mexico, but you need to follow through at home to make sure your license in recorded. 

 

The Fairmont is not a packaged wedding site or all inclusive, and the services offered by the hotel were excellent.  We were able to use our own vendors to create a unique wedding and reception, and we did not need to use a wedding coordinator.  For other brides, an all inclusive package or wedding planner is what works for them.  It's a matter of choice. 

 

To check out various resorts, a good place to go is the hotel review section on tripadvisor.com and the venue reviews here.  TA will not offer many wedding reviews, but the list is probably more extensive and you can come back here to learn more about wedding experiences.  I would suggest using both resources.  Don't be put off by room rates you may see online as your guests will likely receive a reduced block rate.  If you see a resort you like, contact the events office.  See what they offer, and what you can negotiate. 

 

Be careful about booking through a travel agency or a wedding planning service that may also be a travel agency.  While these services can be convenient, airfare and room rates may not be as good as your guests can find online or you can negotiate for your block.  Agencies sometimes require a minimum number of bookings, and you could be left paying a balance if your guests find better a deal on their own.  Most resort contracts will also have a minimum room revenue number, but that's something you can negotiate.  Be reasonable in the dollar figure you think you can generate either through a service or direct booking, and you will be fine

 

These are just some questions to ask as you start your search.  There is no absolute right or wrong way to plan your wedding, and you will find a lot of help here on BDW.  It's your day, make it your own, and it will be lovely!  Let me know if you want more info on our experience.

Great choice for a wedding, VIVA Mexico!!!!!  My recommendation is that you concentrate on the Riviera Maya...

 

I recommend that you take some time, filter through this forum a bit, read a few reviews, absorb a few photos...BDWF is a super place to ask questions.

 

One resource we have been working on is a major slideshow / review linked / info filled WIKI.    Maybe this will help picture your place when you have a short list.

      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!
