Hello brides!

 

Im a clueless bride to be planning my dream destination wedding in Mexico for Summer 2013.   I still have so many questions, research and ideas to go through.  I hope i can settle the uneasiness i feel about not being able to physically see the wedding locations, or flower designs, or linens.  Its hard to plan a wedding thousands of miles away.  But im hoping this forum will help answer my questions and settle my nerves..

 

What i know i need in a location:

 

All-inclusive

Kid friendly

 

 

So those are my starting points...

 

Good Luck to all the destination brides to be

 

 

-Jennifer

what kind of size hotel, or budget?

 

i stayed in sandos carocol eco resort (theres a playa carmen one. but i stayed in the one just called "sandos eco resort and spa)   last month and i loved it! the buffet was incredible, loads of options and it has a kids club, and its basically all kid friendly except for one adult only pool on the main resort (and an adults only section off to the side). its also very pretty...and there were also loads of different animals either in enclosures or wandering about. which i thought was pretty cool and im sure a kid would (you do have to explain to kids not to touch them though, im not a parent so not sure how hard it is. theyre not going to randomly attack you but they are pretty much wild)

 

i also liked the beach there and the room i stayed in was very nice. you can snorkel in the water (not the sea..is like a river/cenote type thing)could be worth thinking about!

heres one of the kinds of animals you can find on the paths. i must admit, ive forgotten the name and dont know what it is. but it was pretty cute! the wedding planner there (fernanda?) was also very ncie and friendly and pretty quick at replying

 

i know its hard to pick a resort when you arent there...check out reviews and make a list of the things that are most important to you (beaches, food options, kid activities, number of pools, etc etc. do you watn a private reception or just a meal in a restaurant, do you want dancing, gazebo wedding/beach wedding? beach reception/pool reception/restaurant reception) and then look at reviews brides posted to work out

 

oh i have a pic of a wedding i saw there too, thye kept it pretty simple...but you can add rose petals in the aisle, more flowers or whateve ryou want

Hello Jennifer!!

I have seen kid friendly resorts (and popular between brides) Now Jade, Now Sapphire, Palace resorts (these are coming to my mind now), there are many and great ones, the resorts I like for the nicer beaches are close to Playa del Carmen or Tulum, Dreams Tulum is a good example of that also...

 

good luck!

Gonzalo

      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!
