HI ladies...just wondering what your wedding day timelines look like. 

 

Our coordinator is recommending a ceremony at 5:30 since the sun sets around 7:00, but my fiance and I just feel like that doesn't leave us much time since music has to end at 9:30pm. We will be having a cocktail hour, live entertainment for half an hour through dinner, first dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances, toasts, and cake cutting.  We probably will have to have our ceremony at 4:30???

 

Would any of you care to share your wedding day timelines, or can help me please figure out mine? Thanks!

Hi Renstar,

 

My coordinator set ours for 4pm as the sun will set in Oct at 6:15 ish. She said that this was so you could get all those romantic sunset couple shots before you sit down for dinner. My guess is if you had something earlier and the sun sets at 7, then it might be a bit awkward to walk out for 20 min for the sunset shots........but might be worth while so that you can have a bit more time for everything else.

It also depends on how many pictures you want of just you and your hubby.  If you wanted to go to a couple of locations, obviously you will need more time.  If you wanted to just do one location, it won't take as much timel.  Perhaps contact the photographer to see what they feel is best for the timeline for your pictures.

      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!
