I was wondering if anyone used the extra room that is included in the package for the groom the night before the wedding? I know it says "based on availability" so I was wondering of couples actually got to use that option. I'm hoping to have that option and host a "girls sleepover" that night.

We used the room for the groom and the resort was pretty packed.  So much so, that they weren't able to upgrade us to a better room so they gave us a dinner on the beach instead.

Hi Ladies! I can't believe that we are already back home to reality. (I seriously already got misty-eyed once at work this morning thinking about the wedding. Not joking!) I will write a more detailed

I did find out that Visa charges 3% in international fees, and Cap One does not charge anything. One week from today I'll be in Mexico! Jessica sent me a list of everything we have agreed on for ou

I am soooo ready for it to be here NOW! :) I just sent Gloria an email full of questions regarding questions about the bouquets, centerpieces, locations, menu, etc. (she already sent me the options to choose from) but I wanted to ask a few questions on here to see if you all knew!

 

1. Does anyone know how much DJ Mania costs? I read that that company is on that list of approved DJ's so there is no $500 fee correct? We aren't having a reception at home so I want it to be a fun time!

 

2. What is the name of the company of in-house photographer? I think Gloria sent it to me but I can't find it anywhere. I wanted to research them some.

 

3. I'm also curious about the groom's room night before the wedding, this would be very helpful.

 

4. Anyone know if you can have a slideshow played at the reception?

 

TealMarie your day is coming so fast! I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Thanks everyone!

1. DJ Mannia was $1200 and worth every penny!

 

2. The in house photographer is Beach Wedding Studios. http://www.beachweddingstudio.com/  Honestly it doesn;t look like they've updated the site recently, but they were biggest surprise in my trip.   I hired them with absolutely NO regrets!  I was a little nervous after seeing some people's posts about photos they took at rehersal dinners for the couple because they didn't want to have them take wedding photos but they were great.  They take extra special care of you if you're paying for them I guess.  I also got an EDITED beautiful video of my ceremony, complete with shots of the resort as a whole.  It was really spectacular.  If you'd like to see some of my photos I can email some to you.  Oscar and his crew were AMAZING!

 

3. We utilized the room for the groom and they were accomodating, even though the resport was nearly at capacity.  You'll have to ask Gloria about it when you get there and then ask the front desk the morning before your wedding.  They won't book it in advance.

4. We didn't have the slide show but TealMarie knows what she is talking about.  :)

Thanks TealMarie and ampanda! That info helps out a lot! But ughh that's a lot of money just to play a 5 minute video! Bummer! You have helped convince us that we will definitely use DJ Mannia! Did anyone else have a problem with mosquitos?? I am just trying to figure out what all I want in my OOT bags! I think I pretty much have it narrowed down, now it's just time to collect everything! :)

I had no issues with mosquitos but I did bring spray along, just in case  :)  DJ Mannia will keep your guests so busy, you probably won't have time for a 5 minute video!!  Seriously, they kept everything moving so fast (complete with a Tequila shot conga line organized by our servers) that the reception whizzed by!  Love and enjoy every minute of it!!

Also, what did people select/recommend for the dinner meals for the reception?

 

Thanks!

Did you mean me or someone else? We haven't left for MX yet and we're using Victor Herrera photography.

Ampanda52- you were married in July right? Was your reception in the foyer? You might have already said this. There a just so many posts on here. I'm wondering how hot it was? I remember you talking about a nice breeze on the beach for your reception and cocktail hour. What about the foyer?

Hi HNeal!

I did get married in July (late July)but our reception was at Barcelona.  The Foyer is beautiful and when I got there I almost changed my mind mid week until I stood out there for a while.  It is very warm.  I was so scared about having my reception where they have the buffet every day, thinking it would cheapen it.  I was very wrong.  I'm very glad I went with the indoor location with air conditioning.  The beach was nice and breeze but anywhere else was absolutely scorching.  When I was waiting to walk down the aisle, I stared sweating badly.  Fortunately it was only for a sec.

 

I hope this helps.  :)

      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!
