OFFICIAL NOW Jade Wedding Thread


Recommended Posts

We just got our video yesterday from adventure photos and I have to say it was quite good!! I can't believe it only took just under 3 weeks!
Would you be able to share it if it's not too personal? I'd really like to see their work.

We got our quote/invoice from the resort last night. A bunch of info was incorrect, wrong ceremony times, and two of the locations were incorrect, said we wanted the violinist when we requested the guitarist). Definitely worth a thorough read-over! Ariadana was very quick to correct it for us though and we received an updated invoice from her today.

 

For those of you who might be interested, included on it is:

 

Chair set up - $44.40

Extra dinners - $934.92 (we have 39 adults, so that's the dinner fee for 14 extra adults)

Champagne toast - $70.56 (for 14 extra adults)

Kids menu - $100.80 (4 kids)

Sound system for dinner (microphone and 1 speaker) - $166.50

Additional hour of reception - $737.10 (again, charged for 39 adults)

 

Wedding package 2999.00, less $500 deposit already paid, and viola, our total due when we arrive is $4553.28. That adds up FAST.

 

We requested no extra cake and no extra hors d'oeuvres.

Prices include tax, and service fees for everything except the chair fee and the wedding package. I'm assuming this means for anywhere service is charged, no tip is needed.

Wow!! That does add up fast. I'm so glad we're staying under 25 people. Are you taking your own decorations and things?

We uploaded our video from the resort Videographer to share with our family.  You can see it at:
Overall, I thought they did a nice job and worked well with our outside photographer.
Oh no, for some reason this video is blocked due to copyright issues :(

Thank you for sharing! It's nice to see somewhat of an official balance. I calculate figures all the time and often wonder if we will really come in under budget once we see our final invoice. BTW, you give me hope for staying around $5k at the resort. We are expecting 30-35 ppl.

    • 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!
