Hey all!! My fiance and I are planning on getting married in Catholic chapel in Gran Caribe Real and was just wondering if anyone had trouble getting a letter from their church to the resort. My church has been iffy bout it and I haven't brought up the issue of letter again and was wondering how I can go about it, if any of you have any tips.

 

Also, was wondering about reception. I really would love a beach reception but my fiance is afraid of the wind and for sand to get in everyone's food. Our wedding coordinator, Diana, agreed with him and we have decided to do it on 1 of the terraces, but my heart's still kinda set on the beach. What are your ideas on this ? 

 

Finally, has anyone discussed any rates with the resort itself? We had a difficult time communicating with the man responsible for setting up rates and when he quoted us some nightly rates and we responded asking how we can get a discount group rate, we havent heard back from him!! 

 

Thanks for any advise and CONGRATS to all the future brides!!!

 

Cathy

Hi Cathy. Congrats on your wedding! We just got married at the Gran Caribe chapel in December. You will absolutely LOVE it!  It was a gorgeous wedding overlooking the ocean. This site helped me so much in my wedding planning, so I'm providing my feedback to help other brides too. I didn't have any problems with my church providing a letter. I showed the church a printout from the Gran Caribe of what they needed, and the church gave me a list of requirements to fulfill to get the letter. We needed to attend a marriage retreat scheduled by the church, and also meet one-on-one with the priest. If your church gives you problems, I'm sure you can go to a different church.

 

Reception site depends on the size of your party. Our party was 33 people. I also wanted the beach reception, but we opted out for the same reason - sand and wind. So we had cocktails on the beach, and the reception at the gazebo (right above the beach). I loved it! It was perfect. And the gazebo provided protection from too much sun and wind.

 

We found the best rates through AAA. They booked our rooms for us and it was cheaper than booking directly with the resort.

 

Here's our slideshow for pix of the wedding/reception/ttd for ideas. http://mylenearturo.amorcitocorazonstudio.com/#/ceremony/.

      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!
