I bubble wrapped the lanterns and packed them in a duffel bag, which was my husband's carry on.  I carried my dress in a garment bag. We didn't have any problems in customs.

 

I packed the candles, frames, shells, starfishes, and sand ceremony kit in a luggage which was checked in.  Sadly, the glass on one of my frames broke but it wasn't bad.  The worst was when I realized that the main piece for the Sand Ceremony shattered.  I ended up using the smaller pieces instead.  Be very careful how you package each item if you're considering shipping it over.  Susana did mention that a few brides have shipped materials over and they always arrive to the "Bodas" office.  It's not a big office and I didn't see any closets, so not sure where exactly they would store your goodies.

 

I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

Thanks So much. By chance who did you use for the DJ?

 

Also, did you pay for your hair and make up or was it included in your package?

I rented the music equipment and played music from IPhone. My brother-in-law handled playlist.  The 3 hours do go by quickly and we tried to enjoy every moment.  I don't regret my decision.  

 

We almost considered getting a dance floor but didn't. Again, another decision I don't regret.  The reception is on beach near a hut which had some concrete in front of the bar. Some of my guests liked the sand while others, especially "salseros", preferred the concrete floor. 

 

My hair and makeup was included with Strawberry Package. They have a book and pages with style ideas that you could choose from. She even had some of the pages of hairstyles that I liked from Pinterest...so they are up-to-date.  I brought my own makeup but also used some from the Spa.  They don't have a huge selection for eyeshadows. It looked like a 12 color palette from Sephora. 

I did give Maritza a tip...I was very pleased with my look!

 

My sister has a good close-up.  I'll get it from her and post

    • 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!
