Hi All, 

 

I am trying to figure out when to have our first dance. My FI and I are getting married at 1:30 on the beach then am going to have a cocktail hour, have to make sure the resort can do it right after the ceremony....so the question is should we have our first dance(s), ours, father daughter and mother son,  and speeches at the cocktail hour or should we, after the dinner provided by the resort go back to the gazebo and have our dance there?

 

Funds are tight so we are not going to have a 'reception' there, I thought after dinner we would all hang out at one of the bars on the resort before the dance club opens. 

 

Opinions are welcome.  I am emailing our resort to confirm the cocktail hour and location after our ceremony tomorrow.

 

Thanks all

I think it might be nice if you did it after your cocktail hour and then that way its done and out of the way, you can relax and enjoy your dinner and reception.  Also, the guests will all be together then anyways, might be easier to just do it then.  Also, if you wait till after dinner and reception to go back to the gazebo it probably would be dark outside, and that means they might make you pay for lighting ect.  Something to think about!

Thanks JayKay!

      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!
