My recap for those having a wedding down there.

Gaby was GREAT and such a sweetheart!

The carribean food for the wedding was a huge hit!  My guests said it was the best food they had all week.

El Patio is not the best on food.  Actually pretty gross.  Surprised the food was so bad.  It's Mexican food in Mexico.  We had our 'Welcome Dinner' there and I wanted them to sit us together.  As in one big table.  There was only 30 of us.  We just sat near each other and had a set menu.  The restaurant was empty.  We could have just went in to sit down to eat and ordered off the menu and not have paid the extra for the 'Welcome Dinner' if that was the was case.  I was upset about this but Gaby was very accomodating. 

 

The day was GREAT!  IT started to downpour right after we ate and they moved us under the hut in Oceana Grill.  It was a soggy wedding but who cares.  We had fun. The DJ moved with us and thank goodness by brother is an electrician because they DJ had no idea who to make his system work when one of the pieces got wet.  They DID NOT extend my wedding the hour we lost because of transporting the DJ equipment and the DJ trying to figure out how to hook it up.  Thought that was not too cool but they are very tight with their $ down there.  They dont BEND or give at ALL! 

 

My hair came out awesome!  I had it done in the salon.

 

I brought my own photographer.  Pictures are to follow.  She took pictures of the WHOLE weekend and was cheaper then their photogrpaher!!  Her name is Ilanit Alon and her email is iluvfotography@gmail.com if you wanted to contact her.  She was AWESOME!!!!!   All my guests were raving about her.

 

Some of the wait staff get very pissy when you ask for more drinks or food.  They tell you it will take 30 minutes for the food and it all of a sudden appears in 10 minutes.  This happened more then once.  I think they just don't want US to make out on the all inclusive deal.  Same goes for tables.  They tell us a table for 8 is about an hour and a half, then it opens up 10 minutes later.    So weird. 

 

The resort is GORGEOUS!!!  

Very relaxing.  I loved it!  Wish I was still there instead of cold New York!!

 

hope this helps some!

      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!
