Thanks everyone!   My coordinator was Maria, she was great! They are all so helpful and organize everything so well once there.  We stayed at Coba but we had access to the rest of the resorts until

Awesome!! my wc is Maria too! Did u guys do a legal or symbolic ceremony? what kind of decor did u bring with you? setup??

Did you have to ask for the wedding day time line for the guests or was that just provided? extra cost?

Yeah we were glad this wasn't the case for us. You can use the coba side of the beach and Tulum I guess. not sure how they can control the beach area considering it's all one long strip! But the food and everything was much better at Akumal.

We had a symbolic wedding. I had brought chair sashes, wedding programs for ceremony and then chair sashes, cloth napkins, candles and candle holders, table numbers and holders, guestbook, seating chart, sweetheart table decorations. 

I had ordered flower centerpieces which were very pretty!

 

The wedding timeline sheet was provided at no charge. 

 

We cancelled the resort photographer and flew down our own.

 

No hidden charges. I had made sure to ask for a proper break down of costs. Once we got there though Maria said that we would need extra speaker (due to the amount of people we had) which was extra but that was about it. 

 

Oh also the flowers were beautiful!!! I will post pictures tomorrow.

@Ellia123 It sounds like you had a beautiful wedding! I'm actually leaving tomorrow and getting married on Friday so hopefully things go as smoothly as they did for you! 

 

I was wondering who you tipped and how much you tipped them? I'm thinking, the WC,  the bartender, wait staff, and the band anyone else I'm missing? How much for each?

I tipped the WC, the main guy in charge on the wedding night and others tipped the bartender themselves. We didn't have a band. I was so distracted, I didn't even see who was filling up the buffet and doing things around the wedding.

@@Ellia123 wow sounds amazing. I'm just working with Linda right now. Did you get assigned Maria once you got there? Also I got the wedding dj app as well, did they have the proper hookups for an iphone 5? What did you do with all the decorations you brought down, did you bring them all back. I am so glad your hair turned out well, that is a major concern for me.

Linda was super nice! really liked her. I had Maria all along but they all helped out at some point. 

I don't think they have the iphone 5 connector to charge (if necessary), you should definitely ask. 

I brought back everything I had taken.

The lady Marivel who did my hair was excellent, I showed her a picture for 3 seconds and she knew exactly what she was doing.

@@Ellia123 but they do provide the connectors for the iphone to the speakers correct? I can bring my own charger. Also, did you get the mexican trio for music? How were they and where did you use them? Lastly when did you book your appt for your hair? Did you get it done at the Coba spa or Tulum? Thanks so much for your help!!

yes we had an iphone and it worked fine. 

we cancelled the mexican trio because it didn't flow with our music and night at all. I organized the music for the entire night myself. 

I made the appointment approx 3-4 weeks prior including the appointment for the trial. I did it at Coba.

      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!
