i seem to be following marilili posting everywhere hahaha

 

Welcome to the site!! It will really help you choose where to have your wedding. few hints to start you off, you have these general options (so can look up their names):

 

All inclusive hotels - stay there and have the wedding. most threads are on these! dreams seems a super popular option.

issues to look for - are outside vendors allowed? if you have non-hotel guests attending wedding there...how easy is that (guest passes, extra costs etc) do  you want adults only or family friendly resort (will children be attending)

 

for non hotel wedding and/or reception:

            beach clubs - wickys, kool club, blue venado,  fusion, zenzi, canibal royal

            completely private location - Isla de la pasion (have to get there by boat), Xcaret - eco park

 

General issues - if there are backup options if it rains (if you want a beach wedding), how private it is etc

Thank you very much for the information. I had already contacted a few hotels/resorts before finding this site and quickly found out that all the resorts and hotels had many rules that I didn't want to really deal with.

 

I really wanted to find a place where I could have a wedding reception into the night on the beach without being given a time restriction and the necessity of using day passes for guests not staying at the same hotel.

 

I had not thought about the beach clubs along the beach, but I did think about private villas, so I went ahead and booked 2 villas side by side on Soliman Bay in the Riviera Maya for a week each. I figured between both villas, my guests could stay there, we could be together, and have my wedding there all for the same price.

 

I, too, feel that I keep following the same people on the boards... haha. I saw a posting of yours online asking about bridal shops in Houston. I happen to be from Houston and could suggest you to go to Ventura's bridal. I have not went dress shopping as of yet, but countless brides have recommended that place to me, so it will definitely be the place I go to first. Ventura's apparently has many designers there under one roof and its a one stop shop. I'm not sure where you are traveling from, but I would highly suggest for you to make an appointment with them when you are willing to go to their store so that they'll be expecting you.

Congratulations and welcome to the forums! The Mayan Riviera is a wonderful place for a wedding. The area has so much to offer you... you will love it here!

Let me know if you have questions about any of the resorts from Cancun, Playa del Carmen to Tulum! I capture weddings here full time and have been to a lot of the popular resorts in the area.

Best of luck!

Hi All! & Congrats!!

 

I'm a newbie also and just wanted to pass along that there's another May 2013 Brides thread going in case you wanted to chime in!  But it seems to be more open to other locations as well.

This one is great as it's catered to Riviera Maya Brides specifically =)

      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!
