My fiance & I have decided that a destination wedding is the best way to roll the wedding & honeymoon together to save money as I am sure many of you have. The dilemma we are having is Jamaica is cheaper to get to from Phoenix and the rooms are cheaper at Boscobel but I haven't been able to find any actual wedding reviews from brides there. The only reviews I have seen of the actual resort are on TripAdvisor saying the resort is very dated and isn't worth the Beaches price tag. We have a wide range of kids (10 at most) but ranging from 6-18 years old and from what I can tell the Beaches in Turks seems to offer the most for a whole range of ages (and the grown men who want to play like teenagers). The reviews I have seen from other brides here seems like Turks completely covers the destination wedding/ honeymoon/ family vacation option but I am going to have less guests and family the higher the price tag goes.

 

Also,

We are looking at June of 2013 and I think paying for the twilight hour (if I can get it) would be the best for all of my guests not used to heat/humidity but haven't been able to tell if it really makes a difference in the temperature or humidity (long curly hair here!) any advice would be fantastic especially at a 600 dollar premium!

When looking at resorts for my destination wedding in Jamaica we considered the Beaches resorts.  We too found that there werent many reviews from weddings and that everything suggested the resort was dated and old.  We did consider the Beaches in Turks too, however, the price different was astounding (a different of like $1200 per person).  We knew if we wanted our wedding there we would have to be okay with not many people coming.  Instead we found a different resort in Jamaica that fit within the budget and allowed more guests to be with us on our special day.

      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!
