We stayed outside and partied until 10:30pm, at which point we had to switch off the music.  By that point most people were exhausted and went to sleep, while a few of the younger people, including ourselves, went to the bar/lounge and stayed there until 2am.

 Ditto! It was the perfect time to split apart from the adults as the youngsters were getting saucy.

 

Also, the outdoor venues are dreams are to die for, it would be a shame to be in a ball room when you have the outdoor options.

Hey ladies! My wedding is exactly 3 weeks away - holy crap! I just thought I'd update you all on what's going on. 

 

I posted earlier about Yarai still taking a week or so to answer e-mails. I sent her a quick message letting her know that I was worried about not being able to cover everything in time. Since then, she's been e-mailing back within 2 days.

 

I decided to just send a bottle of champagne to each room with a nice welcome letter instead of doing OOT bags. I'm not a creative person, and I'm currently taking 18 credits in my last semester of school so I just don't have the time to pick up every thing and put it together. I think this will be a nice treat and a nice way for our guests to start their vacations!

 

I'm also having the stationery company that did our invitations put together the place cards and the pashmina tags. This should be done by the end of the week!

 

Most of our guests are arriving on Saturday the 18th, and we'll have an informal "cocktail party" that night at the lobby bar. This won't be a private event - I really wanted it to at this bar because I love the area, and unfortunately, they can't do private events there.

The rehearsal will be at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon, with a rehearsal dinner at 7pm at the Portofino terrace for all of the guests.

The wedding is at 4:30 on Monday afternoon on the beach with the reception on the Cascade terrace. We have Gilda Badillo coming as the photographer, we've booked DJ Ricardo and Lunas de Fuego, and Lola from Florenta is doing the flowers. We're having Dreams do hanging lanterns over the dance floor, underlit tables, and 8 palm trees will be lit up in hot pink by LED lights. We're also doing sparklers for all of the guests to hold for the first dance. We were going to do the cigar roller, but we wanted to have them do good Cuban cigars. We decided that the price of having the cigar roller and Cuban cigars was just too much, so we're going to go into town on the 17th to buy some Cuban cigars. If we can't find any, we'll have to hope that Yarai can book the cigar roller really quick!

 

That's all I can think of! Let's hope it all goes smoothly.

How much is it costing to have the trees lit up with hot pink if you dont mind me asking? I love the look of it and would love to budget it in if its not too expensive

Thats a great price , specially if you're not doing much for centerpieces and its going to look fantastic! Which terrace are you having your reception at?

Teira, it's $55 per tree and you can choose to have 4 or 8 trees lit up. I'm not doing big centerpieces or anything like that so we wanted to do something else to really make the terrace look festive! I'll post pictures once I'm back.

I hope it'll look good and add enough to the reception to make it feel festive! Our reception is on the cascade terrace. The tables will be set up on the level of the terrace that's closest to the pool and the DJ/dance floor area will be closer to the beach

    • 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!
