I am in the exact same boat! I am totally overwhelmed. Just two days ago I started doubting if I made the right decision to want a DW. More than anything, I dont want to be a financial burden on our friends and family. 

We are looking at Feb 2013 and I am hoping it all works out. We decided on Mexico because it seems the most affordable, but after reading some replies on here I am wondering if we should have looked into Jamaica.  

Are Jamaica and Mexico the same ball park price wise? My requirements are simply; a beautiful beach and my family and close friends be there. SO we are pretty flexible with location. 

If anyone has any recommendations, I would really appreciate it. I am on this site for hours at a time. FH has actually made me turn off the computer bc he sees my head spinning from all the info I am taking in!!

One thing that helped us decide on a location was when we realized that you can make almost any place work for your budget if you are willing to make compromises. If you have your heart set on a more exotic location that costs alot to fly to then you might have to settle for only a 3 day visit. If you want a longer trip then you might have to sacrifice going the ever popular all-inclusive route and rent a large cottage or bungalow with a group of people and make your own food. For us great food and service was most important so we chose a resort chain that is known for both and picked from among their locations. Make a list of your "must haves" and stick to them, you'll find the right place.

Newbie here!

 

We are looking into an August wedding 2012. We can't seem to decide if Punta Cana or Riviera Maya will be the one. What has been experience in either location? Weather in August?

August/September is hurricane season in cancun. I vacationed there in august a few years back and it was windy and down pouring. The beaches were closed due to huge swells. I will say, we still had an absolutely amazing time but if ur considering your wedding there. Keep tha in mind. Happy planning

Ya ditto for Dominican, the brutal heat of the summer is breaking around then which is nice but it rains approx. 75% of the time and HARD. You'd have better luck bumping it up a month to July (it's really hot but not as much rain) or wait til October.

    • 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!
