I was originally have problems as well trying to pick songs for each part of the wedding so I know how frustrating it may seem! Here is a list of the songs I chose.  I put them on my ipod and handed it over the the wedding coordinator the day of the wedding and she takes care of changing the songs for you.  They have their own microphone and speakers set up as well. Usually guests start seating no more than 30 minutes in advance.  So I picked out 5 songs to play. I hope this helps!

 

Prelude

Because you loved me-celine dion

Amazed-lonestar

Everything I Do, I Do It For You- Bryan Adams

The way I am-Ingrid Michaelson

You and I-Michael Bubble

 

Processional

Can you feel the love tonight-elton john

 

 

Bride entrance

marry me-train

 

Recessional

I Do- 98 degrees

 

During the reception I picked the 3 main dances and let the dj take care of the rest! He plays songs based on the type of crowed you have.  He did a great job!

 

First Dance

Bless the Broken Road- Rascal Flatts

 

Father-Daughter Dance

you raise me up- josh groban

 

Mother-Son Dance

A Mother's Love by Jim Brickman

 Okay another question about music to the ladies that have been there.  I am getting married at the Pergola Deck.  Would a 6 minute long be long enough for 2 bridemaids and then me to walk down the isle too.  I fear that it would be way too long for me to walk to.  When there is 2 minutes left in the song there is an awesome part in the song for me to walk out to.  If you want to listen to the song and tell me if you would think that it would work it is Everything by Lifehouse.  I have wanted this song since I met my fiancee and we have been together for 7 years tomorrow!!!

Here is a link the our wedding video:

Hello Ladies,

 

Thanks for such kind words!

 

ashleyblayne: You can always start playing your song and just start walking once your part comes on. Otherwise I am not sure how you will work this out.

 

Kerri: I would contact Pilar.  You should have definitely gotten yours by now! My video was actually longer but for some reason the whole file didn't upload! My video was 35 minutes long.  It had some of our guests speaking during the cocktail hour and it also had our first dances at the reception.  Oh well...

 

brgephar: our bridal dress can be ordered at many bridal shops.  It is from the Bill Levkoff designer.  Here is the link to the dress http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/157 we had the glacier color.

How much did the resort charge for the bridesmaid hair and makeup?? and how long was the rehearsal? Pilar haven't replied to my many emails, I'm getting nervous cos a lot of stuff I didn't do yet with her.

 

If you get the wedding package your hair and makeup is included.  Otherwise it is $59 for hair. The rehearsal itself only took 10 minutes if that.  We had a dinner after the rehearsal which lasted about an hour.

We didn't have a rehearsal but I didn't have a wedding party so I didn't think we needed it.

Wow they stayed for part of your reception? Did you pay extra? They did the ceremony and maybe stayed for about 10 minutes of the cocktail hour...the girl was mad at my photographer though because he wanted her to move her camera during the ceremony and she wouldnt so maybe that is why!

Kerri - you didn't get your video yet? I got mine probably 2 weeks after we got home...I would contact Pilar or someone to see what happened to it! And trust me...you don't want to see my video with me and my awkwardness haha! I hate watching myself...I laugh when I am nervous and apparently I was nervous because there was a lot of weird laughing going on! :)

    • 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!
