plan beforehand checklist...


Recommended Posts

I am a bit behind on the planning part. I think it is because my contact at Beaches isn't very forthcoming with information, but I want to create a list of things that I should plan beforehand and that I will need to discuss with her. Any help updating this list is appreciated!

- welcome dinner/cocktails (optional)

- ceremony

- aisle runner (I want to use petals)

- arches

- seating (decorations for chairs?)

- sand ceremony table

- reception (I want to wait until closer when I have a more definate number of guests to plan this)

 

Please help me, I feel so behind...

Here are some optional things you may want to check on:

 

1. How to distribute your OOT bags

2. If they have a salon there for your hair and make-up (costs and availability)

3. If they have someone or something available to steam your dress

4. What florist they use, the cost of the flowers, the prices of the flowers

5. What music is available for ceremony

I would ask about a Plan B in case it rains (keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone else that it doesn't) but this is something that I would want to have settled.

 

Also do you have to use their photog? I think Beaches makes you use their photog but I would ask in case you already haven't. See if you can bring your photog as your guest so that you can get outside photos done (assuming you want to use an outside photog).

Other things to consider:

1. Can you customize your ceremony? i.e. your own vows, sand ceremony, etc..

2. cocktail/hors doeuvres in btw ceremony/reception

3. private/semi private reception options

4. menus for reception

5. reception music, DJ or live or setup for your own music

6. reception decor

 

It is not too early to find out choices for reception...

    • 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!
