Hi all! I just got engaged at ERC on Nov 20th, 2015 and now I'm in the process of booking my wedding there for Jan 2017! We are planning on approx 40 people. Question: I'm currently trying to decide between the 3:00 pm and the 5:00 pm time slot for the ceremony. Any advice? I know the sunsets around 6pm in Jan so I was worried about pictures, but the 3pm time slot just seems too early. [sorry if this was answered previously. Its so easy to go down a rabbit hole reading through the forums and getting distracted so I figured I would just ask. ]

 

I was also just there 2 weeks ago so if anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to help!

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

Congrats!!! Super exciting. I'm not an ERC bride but I'm a January 2015 Mayan bride. The sunset for us (Jan 21) was at 530pm and it just gets dark there is no long sunset! If you want time for pics after your ceremony I'd suggest the 3pm time slot. 330pm would have been safe too but if you don't have that option. We had 45 people. 3-330 ceremony and toast. 330-4 was family and group photos and 4-5 was bride/groom photos. Just depends what you want but you most likely will loose light before 6pm. We certainly did!!! Good luck.

Thanks @@victoriasalv !  We are putting a deposit down for a block of rooms for the week of Jan 9, 2017.  We are currently getting a quote of $475 per night for the standard junior suite pool view. Did anyone have experience with rates dropping much or going up when booking over a year out. Just wondering how many rooms we should reserve.

@kjb0528 We booked ours a year out too and unfortunately our rates haven't dropped. We are staying beach view suite, club side and paying less than that. I would talk to different travel agents. I have an amazing one who saved us a ton, if you are interested.

Hmmm.. that does seem a little high. Are they regular rooms or club? We went through a travel agent and her company (funjet) books the rooms so we didn't have to pay to reserve the rooms in advance. We booked in March (personally) and I have not noticed an increase or decrease unfortunately. I'm not sure how that works! The only thing I have noticed is a lot of the jr suite regular rooms are sold out (at least via her supplier so some people had to upgrade).

@@victoriasalv  They are regular rooms but maybe its just because its January which is the high season. 

 

@@JaimeCKL  I'm using Lindsey too!!  I really like her a lot and she had rave reviews.  She is so responsive, it makes it so much easier to get things done and make decisions!

      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!
