Gran Caribe Real Brides 2012


Recommended Posts

I just had my wedding this past week, March 28, 2012.  It was beautiful.  I will try to post a full review and pictures by the end of the week.  I'm so happy I chose this resort.  I was a little worried at first, but everything was amazing.  The Royal next door was even more beautiful (very high-end), but very quiet.  It seemed like there were mostly couples hanging out there.  The Gran Caribe seemed like it was a little more fun and there weren't too many spring breakers there which I was worried about.  The older people attending the wedding had just as much fun as the younger people.  My only regret is not booking my hair/make-up appointment earlier.  My appointment was at 1pm.  I finished around 3pm.  My wedding started at 4pm at the gazebo.  I had under an hour to get dressed, and didn't get anytime for pictures before the ceremony.  I was very happy with my hair and make-up too.  I didn't bring a picture of what I wanted and they still did a great job.  I had clip in hair extensions put in and my fake eyelashes looked real.  It was very windy and my half up hairstyle looked pretty messy by the time we were done with the ceremony and photos.  I would recommend getting the presidential suite.  It was unbelievable!!  It covered the entire end of the 6th floor, there were 6 rooms below our suite so that should tell you how large it is.  We had our cocktail reception right in the room because we had only 12 guests.  They even brought a blender up to make mixed drinks and had food set up on the large balcony.  There were several staff members up there serving everyone and making drinks.  I couldn't have asked for a better wedding.

    • 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!
