Hello there! 

 

My soon to be husband and I had a long talk yesterday about our wedding.  We had decided to get married on December 15, 2010 in Mexico.  We got engaged in April 2010, and he wanted to get married the next month (May) while we were in Vegas.  The Vegas trip was already planned before he asked me to marry him.  I was not comfortable getting married three weeks after our engagement, so we decided on December 15 as that date is the third anniversary of our first date.

 

We both started new jobs this year (he in January, me in June) and vacation time is at a premium for both of us.  I only have 6 vacation days left for 2010 and he has 7.  Based on what I have seen when it comes to destination planning in Mexico it appears that we would need to take 7 days to make it worth our while going way.  So after much discussion we decided to move the wedding back to 2011, when we can start a new year with more vacation time.  December 15, will always be a symbolic day in our relationship!

 

I am okay with that.  So now we are talking about eloping to Vegas this year and having a renewal of the vows ceremony in Mexico early in 2011 (February or March).  I still want that beach wedding!

 

This is my second marriage and his first.  We do not want a huge wedding, we have not booked anything at all, we have not sent out invitations, or Save The Dates.  We have just been spending a lot of time doing research and I only just found BDW two weeks ago!

 

We have a budget set and are looking to make this as stress free as possible.  I am looking at three resorts in Mexico right now.  Royal Playa Del Carmen, Grand Riviera Princess, and Riu Palace Riviera Maya.  We think that we would have about 10 to 15 people attending the wedding.

 

I know I should expect costs to rise (for wedding packages, flights and accomodations) with moving the symbolic ceremony into 2011 and was wondering if February or March are bad months to head to Mexico as far as finances go!

2011 should be great. New airlines are starting to fly to Mexico so hopefully you'll find good prices. Anywhere you go in Mexico should be beautiful. And a small wedding should be easy to plan for. Just get everyone booked, get the dress, and you'll have the time of your life. wink.gif congrats and good luck!

      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!
