That would be great!! we are hoping to get a chance to stay there this year but I'm not sure if that's going to happen so I would really appreciate any info you could provide. I heard they have a new wedding coordinator hopefully she is as good as the the previous one!

Ok, so I am currently at the El Cid and we watched a wedding yesterday and I have been speaking with a bride that has a wedding tomorrow. I have a meeting with the wedding planner tomorrow as well. The romance package is the basic package but it is free is you have 5 platinum rooms booked and provides the basics that you would need for a ceremony. The bride I spoke with says it is not worth it to have your reception on the beach since 1. its windy and 2. it is much cheaper if you book your reception meal in one of the resturants here ( we are going with the Marina resturant since it is seperate from the resort and has 180 degree view. You do have to have a set menu when booking in the resturant but it doesn't cost any extra. You can have the photographers from here or bring in another photography company for $100 fee. The provide round table and a square top chairs. Otherwise you have to rent furnature if you want something else. They will provide linens that are white. Again otherwise you have to rent. I talked with the wedding planner about booking a group of rooms and she suggested that it is less expensive to have your party get rooms through Expedia or Costco, Costco has a great deal right now and they run it quite often. The flowers they have used here for the weddings are gerber daisys and Calla Lillys. That is all the info I have for now. Will get back when I have more.

Thanks so much for all the info its a great help since el cid doesn't seem to be replying to any of my emails! Can you find out the cost to maybe have a reception (dancing and drinks) on the beach after dinner if I choose to do dinner inside?

 

I will look forward to any info you can get!

Hi there!  When you book the restaurant is it a private dinner for only your guests or will there be other guests there as well?  We were going to have our reception on the beach but you now have me concerned about the wind.  I wonder if it is windy year round there as we will be going in November.

 

Thank you!

I received this email from another bride a little while ago. It has been awhile, and I was just looking back through some old emails to see if I had a budget or anything.     We had 73 people and I think the wedding costs paid to the hotel were about 7k?  But I could be off.  That would not include our hotel stay or anything.   I did find that I had these extra costs:   Violinist          350.00 DJ          700.00 Floor          600.00 H'orderves       1,050.00 Beach Set up       1,260.00   The above does not include the original "package"  and I think we had to pay per person for everyone above the package number of people.      I hope that helps.  If I happen to find a revised or more up to date budget I will be happy to pass it along.   Maybe this will help :)

      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!
