Now Sapphire Weddings Formerly Paradisus Riviera


Recommended Posts

Hi again ladies! I'm starting to plan my OOT bags and realize there is a separate forum for that, BUT have been thinking about doing a door hanger OR a little poster for the door...does anyone know if they allow those at the Sapphire? I have read a lot about people doing that and sounds cute!

Hi Mylene,

 

your cost sheet shows 3 hours at 150 per hour plus tax totalling $499.50.  was it only $150 on your final invoice?  if that is the case, I wont bother bringing my own sound system!

Thanks!

 

I narrowed it down to my top few resorts based on wedding packages, resort reviews, location, 'perks' such as ability to reserve beach/pool chairs, no reservations, no wristbands) etc.  Then I took my top few resorts and had my TA get quotes on each. when the quotes came back, Now Sapphire wasn't necessarily the cheapest, but I felt it was the best value for what we were paying, not only for the wedding package but also for all of the guests who are attending.

If so, how did you go about setting that up??? We have decided to go w/an offsite photographer so that's done, but we are trying to figure out rehearsal dinner and some other important things yet...

 

I am 4 days before you... we will be there at the same time!!  :)  cant wait!!

 

my understanding from what I've read is that there wont be very much communication until about 1 month before, so I am trying to be patient.  I emailed Anel with some questions about a month ago, and she responded within about a week and a half.  I'm trying not to stress about this stuff because everyone says they were so stressed beforehand and in the end it went perfect.  I know this is easier said than done though!

I see the same thing - total of 500$.  I purchased a small system for $140 at Costco.  It's small, battery powered and can definitely fit into our carry-on bag.  It gets LOUD.  I will bring it and see what they say about the sound system when we get there.

I emailed Anel over two weeks ago with our final list and resort sheet as our wedding is November 6th. I never heard back and I had a few changes so I emailed her again last week and got an out of office reply that she would be returning October 3rd. I am also friends with her on fb and she has always been super great and quick about responding so I am not sure if she is on vacation or what. She hasn't answered my message to her on fb either which she normally always does. I emailed Ramon today because it's now going on 3 weeks with no response I am down to a little over a month left. I guess we just be patient! :)

I had not gotten a response from Anel in over a month to book the wedding so I emailed Ramon and he wrote back within a couple of hours and said Anel has been out of work for weeks due to a car accident. I sent him my info yesterday and today received confirmation of the date! Very excited to move forward and I guess I have to learn to be patient! :)

I bought a system too, its a really good one and I got it for a steal.  however... I have SO MUCH other stuff to bring, and the extra baggage fees from Canada seem ridiculously high...$20 for every kg over 66 lbs!!!   how is everyone else handling getting all of their décor items and other stuff down to mexico?

    • 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!
