Hello!  I'm Kayla and my fiancee and I are planning on getting married at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe over New Years 2013!  Tour operators don't have their all inclusive prices out yet and it pays for us to wait a month or two until they do.  We are expecting approx 80 guests and I'm getting anxious on putting this whole thing together :()  If anyone has advice for me about the various packages, hidden costs, things to ask for - please fire away lol.  I need ALL the help I can get.

Welcome!  That one suggestion I can make it to use a travel agent.  I was so greatful to have a travel agent who was able to deal strictly with all the travel planning, where as I could really focus on planning the wedding part with the wedding coordinators at the resort.

We have been in contact with Marlene and she is pretty quick at responding which is appreciated.  It's hard to get a handle tho on what this will cost us and that is getting me frustrated.  We will be a group of 80 and I would really like to know if someone had a large wedding and can help me.  We were advised that there are no perks or benefits to a large group but yet at the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe - they gave a free reception when this large wedding group had 35 rooms booked.  I was told different Barcelo's have different packages :(  In the end, we want the BBPD in Punta and just hope they can give us a reasonable package as it appears even their top one(tangerine) is only up to 25 or 35 people so it's the extra costs per person that worry me.  We want the cocktail hour on the rooftop with internation booze and the reception at the Bar Higuey (which I found on another thread) and it looks awesome!  If anyone has info on extra costs we will be facing, tips, or experience at this reception venue - please send drop me a note :)

 

Thanks all

Kayla

      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!
