Also, the guide she sent me is from 2012. Does anyone have the 2013 wedding info guide? 

Nevermind! I found the guide on their website and answered all of my own questions. The one Pilar sent me is a little different then the newer one online.

 

Sorry!

Oh! I did not know that! I booked in December of 2012 so I am guessing 2012 rates will apply to me as well. That's great info to have. I have not communicated with Pilar since I booked so thank you for helping me so much!

 

Does that also include the pricing for the package itself?

I saw a post from DelSor to try for your ceremony 1.5 hrs prior to sunset to have the best sunlight for photos (and also avoid peak-day heat!).  Check online for when the sunset is projected for your date and that should help you figure it out!

I like this idea! I think it will work just fine! You will have to have table numbers on each table though.  Instead of using a number we put a picture frame and a location my husband and I had traveled to together. We had a message in a bottle with each persons name and had a tag hanging off with the table location name....just an idea. I did an rsvp card with 3 entrees to choose from and I also asked guests to list any allergies (some people are also vegetarian and gluten free which they have separate menus to choose from).  I had 45 guests at our wedding and almost everyone sent back an rsvp card even those who were not attending (but we did provide them with an envelope and return stamp).  I also had a website which no one rsvp to.
I asked pilar if I could have three menu choices (fish, beef, and vegetarian) and she said two was the max???? How early did you give her the quantities of each selection? Thanks!

I also gace my guests 3 choices. I never asked Pilar about it so maybe that is why it wasn't a problem for me. I can't imagine that it is an issue to offer 3 choices.

I got married in May and we had our ceremony at 5:30. There was still plenty of light but it wasn't too hot either. We had our cocktail hour from 6:30 (maybe even 615ish) until 7:30. By the time we walked over to our reception it was getting dark. Not sure if that helps because I am not sure what time of the year you are getting married but that was our time frame.

I have reserved the Bamboo Room for our wedding on April 29, 2013. I originally asked for the Garden - which Pilar has just recently told me is not available the week I am there (April 27th - May 2nd). She could not confirm why, but said that the Groups Department has it blocked off... She said she won't know what is going on until closer to the date... 

My questions for someone is about switching the reception location. I have the Bamboo Room booked. I do not know exactly how many people will be coming to the wedding (a lot of people have said that they MAY be coming and haven't booked yet). If I do not have many guests coming I would prefer to have my reception on the Ocean Front Terrace. Otherwise I am fine in the Bamboo Room. Pilar explained "it is not possible to block both areas because we do 2 weddings per date plus one renewal of vows". Has anyone heard about two weddings happening at the same time? Ie. One in the Bamboo Room and one on the Ocean Front Terrace???

    • 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!
