I've booked and am planning my wedding for the last week of August, 2011. Was wondering if there are any other brides getting married down there around this time?

 

Also, are there any past brides that were married at this time. Was it a busy week? Did you get lots of rain? Did you have to hide out from a tropical storm or hurricane? Would love to hear your stories specific to this time of year!

Congrats on your wedding!

 

I haven't been to DR in August (I went in November once and the weather was perfect then although it sprinkled at least a little bit everyday, but before your knew it the sun was out again) but I go to Cuba all the time and they share similar weather. The one time we went in August.. it was unbearably hot!! Like, shower at least twice a day and too hot to suntan type weather. If we were outside, it had to be in the shade and it was counting the seconds til we could be in AC. We were there for 2 weeks that time and in the two weeks, we were hit with Hurricane Ike and Gustavo. The good thing is though that the hurricanes only last for 1-2 days. The rest of the days were perfect and sunny again. We heard that the people in the resorts weren't allowed to leave the hotel those days. If there is a hurricane coming, you'll be able to see it in the weather forecast a bit ahead of time so if one is coming on your wedding day, you could probably just reschedule it to one of the other days that week.

 

I think everything should be fine! Good luck!

I also haven't been to DR in August, but been to Jamaica, Cuba and Mexico at that time.  August is a bit more busy than other summer months as a lot of european tourists come, and these days same applies for Canadian and US tourists.  The prices now for AI are very much comprable to renting a cottage,  but it's still not even close to what it is between Dec and April.  We found during our travels that end of May and June, then Sept to end of Oct tends to be the slowest times....

      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!
