Also what time was your actual ceremony and did it work out well for you? We are having a hard time deciding what time to reserve!

 

 

Our ceromony was at 1pm and this was ideal for us. It was not too hot as the beach location is very shaded. We have plenty of time in the morning to get ready which was nice. After the ceromony we had cocktails on the beach and enjoyed the steel drum band which we hired for an hour. Then we went and had pictures done which took around 2 hours (guests who werent required went to the bar and sat and had drinks). After the photos we grabbed a little snack at the italian and then went back to our room to freshen up and chill out for a little bit (our guests all did the same). This was a really nice time of the day as we got to spend some time just the 2 of us and our guests appeitiated the time to chill out too. Then at 6:30 we went to our reception and then at 9pm we started the beach party which finished at 11:30. I am so glad we went with 1pm for the ceromony. I dont know how people do it when they get married later. They must have rushed through everything!

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad everything worked out nicely for you! What did you think of all of the weddings throughout the day? Was there every any conflict in time or event with other weddings? I can't believe they fit four weddings a day at the Riu's!!

I didn't see another wedding until my own so i didn't feel like i was in a wedding factory or anything! On my wedding day there were 3 weddings. I booked in advance for our beach party so i knew we have that secured before we went. I believe one of the other couples also wanted one so i was glad we thought ahead! The mammee bay steakhouse was busy with another wedding on the night so we got a free upgrade to a private wedding reception at the plantation. It didn't make any difference to us anyway. I recommend you book your hair and make-up in the spa ahead of time too as that way you can be sure to get your ideal time. There was another bride in the salon just after us who was getting married before me.

During the 2nd week there we heard that 2 weddings had been double booked for the same time and location so they had to move one to later in the day. Apparently the bride was devastated but to be honest i don't think it would have bothered me. It was only moved an hour later.

The number of weddings a day varied so some days there were only 2 and others there were 4. One day we sat on the beach and saw 5!

There was only one other wedding on the same day as ours and it was at the pond gazebo and not at the beach.  It was a Jamaican family wedding which we actually got to see a bit of from our balcony.  I guess it's possible that it all depends on the time of year you are getting married as to how many weddings are scheduled each day.

Is it seriously a pond?  Is it smelly or anything?  We were planning to get married at the Garden Gazebo.  Is that where you meant?

Hi Frizzy64, congrats on your wedding!

 

Was the beach party your reception as well? If not where did you have it?

I am looking for any info you may have about the Plantation Restaurant. That is where we are booked into for our dinner.

 

Also, LOVE YOUR dress! The beach party looks like so much fun!

      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!
