Yup, my coordinator is saying after 18 years on the island, she had never heard of them and honestly I think it's just like you said, they all pat each other's backs there, it's a small community with a very niche wedding market. They all know each other and must strike deals.  I asked her to get a quote for the flowers I am interested in to see what she comes back with but, I am thinking of doing what you're doing and just go along with the florist my coordinator suggested and is more comfortable working with.  Incidentally, who is the florist your coordinator recommended?  That's great that they matched the price of Flower Dell. I just hate the idea of overspending on flowers! I would rather put that money into our bar and food budget.

We just got back from our wedding and honeymoon, and it was pure perfection!  I cannot say enough about Caribbean Club/LUCA, and Juliette at Five Star Events.  They seriously went above and beyond and

We had our wedding April 2013 on the Island. We had our ceremony at The Wharf, they have a small private beach on the side of the restruant that was perfect! We had our reception at a private home in

I just went back through everything Juliette has sent me, and somehow I don't have the name of either florist she mentioned!  I guess she told me their names on phone calls and I didn't put them down anywhere.  And I guess what I said earlier wasn't totally accurate - the prices her florists quoted me were slightly more (like maybe $20-$30 total), but close enough for me.  When I get their name I'll update you.  I'm so with you - flowers are gorgeous but when you're on a budget, it seems like an easy thing to cut.  They die right away!

Hi Ladies!!! Sorry for the delay! I promised pictures. We got married in May at the Grand Old House and used Aaron Rebarcheck as our photographer. Let me know if you have any questions.

I don't know, but have you checked with your coordinator if you have one?  Also, just an idea - if you have anything left over post wedding that you don't want to take with you, let me know because I could possibly buy from you and have my coordinator pick it up.  Let us know what you find out on the sign - sorry I'm not more helpful!

We'll be getting married June 8th.  I've yet to talk to our wedding planner (Juliette from Save the Date) as she's on vacation until the end of the month, but...

 

Since this is wedding number two for us and we did the HUGE wedding thing long years ago, we are thinking simple and intimate with 20 people we love most there with us.

 

Has anyone gotten married at Smith's Cove?  It is a pretty little spot but can sometimes be littered as people can sometimes be pigs and not pick up after themselves.  I'm thinking we could go over the night before and make sure it is cleared.  I love that spot...or the area near the wreck of the ten sails but don't know how they hold up for a wedding.

 

I'm new to ALL of this, so am going to be following, reading and parsing this thread to bits.

 

Reception is at La Vita Dolce.  The owner is working up a special menu for us.

 

NO wedding rehearsal, but a trip on a friends boat to stingray city instead (when no cruise ships are in port...best way to do it).

 

Any thoughts on those two spots would be really appreciated.  I'm off to read this thread from top to bottom and take notes :)

      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!
