OFFICIAL NOW Jade Wedding Thread


Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies,

For those of you using paper lanterns for decoration, are you getting the LED lights? I'm not exactly sure how they will hang with the LED light in the lantern?? I also don't know if I even need the lights. My reception will be on the Terrace at night, but when I asked Deisy she said don't worry we have plenty of lighting. Not exactly sure what she means by that.

Yes I think this would fit just fine. We had 8 across for the head table and the ends of the tables weren't inline with the friends and family tables (ie there would have been room to expand the head table).  Our guest tables were 14 people at each, all side by side looking towards the middle (dance floor) so no one had their back to the dance floor or head table or speeches.  We originally thought about having guests face to face at the long tables but Pilar said we had the room to go side by side down one side of the table so we did that to help fill the space and still had plenty of room.

 

Here is a photo of the room from our photog (SweetFire Photography - amazing!) - straight ahead is the head table and you can see the guest tables down either side.  The middle part is the dance floor.  There was lots of room behind the guest tables too so if necessary they can be bumped out a bit to make additional space.

I love this shot by Lorie! Is that the natural colour of the bamboo room or did you guys opt for the $350 lighting package?

Oh, us too.  I've finally gotten Anthony to wrap his head around the fact that our wedding decor needs its own suitcases!  I also have a 7yr old girl, so trying to keep tabs on her in the airport will be a challenge, though we have traveled lots before.  But it's just so much to pay attention to.  Are you planning on bringing your vases in carry-on?  I better check Air Canada's regulations...we have 9 vases, plus 14 lanterns, plus, plus, plus.....haha!  What are your colours?  I might be interested in the tissue pompoms :)

 

Hi Kristen,

I bought 4 vases for our bouquets but I may get the resort to provide the vases instead.. I'm still deciding. If I do bring them they will be put in our carry-ons. I was planning on using them as centrepieces. I'm having 4 long tables with 8 people at each table. I'm thinking of going to Ikea and getting a bunch of candles in a variety of styles and sizes to place on the table. I feel that candles would be much easier to travel with than vases. And since we're on the terrace I think a bunch of lit candles will look really nice once the sun goes down.

 

We're also on Air Canada. I'm not sure what their regulations are.. I think my travel agent said I'll have to pay for my wedding dress. I'd love to know what you find out from them.

 

Pompoms (https://www.etsy.com/transaction/118187174

Navy Blue - 5 Large, 5 Small

Ivory - 5 Large, 5 Medium

Light Yellow - 5 Medium, 5 Small

 

Sizes: Large=14.5", Medium=10", Small=8"

 

I may be bringing some white ones as well. I'm just waiting for the yellow pompoms to arrive in the mail to decide if I need them.

Its hard to know how many are needed for it to look nice and full. I'm hanging them from the pergola.

 

 

That would be great if the vases were free...I just assumed not bc they seem to charge or every other thing;)  

 

check out what I just found in my closet, hidden under my shoe rack!  I used to work at the Gap for yearsssss, and I totally forgot that I had taken these window installations after a season turnover - I have like 25 pieces!  Super excited :)

We didn't do the lighting package since our colours were already shades of blue so the blue/turquoise on the wall worked out perfectly for us. And thanks - we are in love with all of our wedding photos - Lori does a FANTASTIC job!!

I had the exact same question for Deisy!

 

she informed me that the new package for 2013 does not include the Dj and they replaced it with a guitar player or vionlinist.  So the DJ you are paying for separately.

 

Because of this we changed are times since the reception is only 3 hours

4-5 - Ceremony

5-6 family pic

6-7 - cocktail hour

7-10 - Reception

 

We might pay the extra fee for the extra hour ..3 hours does not seem like enough time at all.

Got back on Friday from 11 glorious days and an amazing wedding at the Now Jade.  Like all other previous brides have told you, relax and Pilar and her staff are amazing.  They take of everything and more. I plan on catching up on the thread and answering any questions I can and starting my review this afternoon.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.  I couldn't have planned a wedding without this thread and want to pay it forward.  No official pictures yet, but here is a candid from my friend

    • 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!
