Hi!

I am also a newbie here! I was able to set the venue and date within a week. 

I suggest to set a budget first, and go to the traveler's review websites (ie.tripadvisors.com). 

If you have a location in mind, search the name of the city and check the rank of the hotels. 

 

1. Check the photos and reviews. If you like a few hotels, make a list 2

2. Go to the websites that sell vacation packages (ie. selloffvacations.com, expedia.com) and check the price of the  the week that you want to go and stay (or pick a random date if it is too far).

 

3.1 Fits your budget? then, come back to bestdestinationwedding.com and check the reviews. 

3.2 Not fitting your budget? Go back to #2 and try another hotel

 

4. Read the reviews thoroughly. Priceless tips are all here. It seems to take a long time, but I believe reading & researching saves time & money at the end.

 

5. Like it? Visit the hotel's website and check the price for the wedding package. You may buy the wedding package first by contacting the hotel directly, or via the hotel's website. Mine (The Royal Playa del Carmen) reserved the date & time automatically as I deposit money online. Different hotels have different policies & package prices. Still like it? Make a reservation as soon as possible.

 

This is how I started. Good luck!

Welcome! I think your first step should be to choose a location and a resort.  From there I would contact the wedding coordinators at that specific resort and book a date.  After that you can start to send out your STDs and plan everything else.

    • 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!
    • 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!
