Hi everyone! This is my first post on here so I hope I put it in the right place lol

 

My fiance and I are getting married at the Grand Xcarat on June 18th of 2013. I've found a few threads on the Occidental Xcarat but they are all really outdated.

 

I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom about booking, reception/decoration.

 

Still trying to decide on which site to get married at (I've attached pictures below)

Welcome!

 

My close friend had her wedding at the xcaret last june and it was a sensational time. She chose the gazebo as her wedding spot and it was beautiful. After the wedding, we had the champagne toast then went beside the gazebo which overlooked the lagoon and took group pics. The lagoon was lovely, very private, and my FI and I brought snorkel gear and there was quite a lot of fish to see. We went for walks along the grounds and the ruins were nice, but I think the picture looks nicer than what it really is. Perhaps I'm biased to the gazebo because that's what I've seen. The only thing my friend said she would do differently is the walkway up to the gazebo is all rocks, and she, along with her BM's had a hard time navigating on the loose stones with heels. I would recommend that if you do select the gazebo to request that you are married closer to the front of the gazebo entrance instead of placing the wedding table in the middle/towards the back of the gazebo. It will help with your pictures so you get a little bit more natural light and your guests can see you better.

 

Happy planning

      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!
