My name is Ashley! I am newly engaged :) We have decided on a destination wedding and 95% sure RIU is our choice. My fiancee and I are not getting married until 2014 so we have lots of time but I am getting a head start reading all these comments and getting a better understand as to what to expect! Everyone's comments are so helpful! I can't wait to hear how the weddings turn out. I am sure I will have lots of comments along the way.

Hi ladies, I recently got back from my site visit. We had the opportunity to meet with Clara, one of the WC while we were there. A few prices that she gave me were if you want a private reception at the brazilian restaurant it's $1000, a semi-private reception at the steakhouse is $600. I struggle with this because we ate at both restaurants, the steak house is beautiful, close to the beach and gazebo, and open, BUT I was very disappointed with the food. The brazilian is a fairly small closed in room with pillars in the middle of the room, the the food is SO much better. The prices are for 6:30-10:30, and would be $100 for ever hour after. There is a price of 12.50 per guest over your 15 or 40 guest limit (depending on which package you choose). Which I understand is to cover the cake cutting and champagne service pp. The house MC and DJ is $700, or DJ only for $550. I also learned, if you don't Want either you can rent the DJ equipment and bring your own CD or Ipod to plug in. They also have fire dancers or cigar rollers at an extra cost. An open bar, with private bartender comes at an extra cost, otherwise you have the option of beer, rum or house wine. If you want bouquets and boutonnieres for the bridal party you'll pay extra for each. We also met with the house photographers Antillana and viewed their photo packages, which I was impressed with, they seemed very open to customizing a package to your liking. Remember, they will need at least 1.5 days to edit and print your pictures if you would like them before your departure. My fiance and I made a video tour of the resort, if you're. Interested in seeing it let me know and I'll give you the Facebook link. Let me know if you have any questions about my visit, I'll try to help where I can!!!

      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!
