Hi!!! I have already started planning and we have deceided on the Paradisus Punta Cana! We are beyond excited with the decision we have made. I'm trying to figure out how to make this the most affordable for our families and friends. We are on the younger side, my fiancé will be 24 & I will be 22 so our friends are around the same age and beginning paying school loans back so I'm trying to keep everything under 1500$/person including airfare. Unfortunately we are located in Pittsburgh and direct flights from here are out the question.. Any advice on airfare and how to word the invites so that everyone can know where to get the most inexpensive airfare is appreciated!! We are only inviting 30 people and will have marriage announcements sent out when we return with invites to an informal outdoor BBQ for people not invited to the wedding. All of our families and friends not attending the actual wedding know and support our decision.These invites will be perfectly clear that this is NOT a reception and gifts are not expected. I have already found so many helpful ideas and tips on this website and hope to find many more! Thanks for all your help in advance and happy planning ladies!!!!!!

Welcome to the boards and congratulations on having a destination already picked out! 

 

There are not direct flights from Pittsburgh? I am surprised as I thought they had direct flights to the DR from most major cities.

 

My recommendation would be to start searching major sites like orbitz, kayak and expedia to see what the prices look like. You might also want to try and reach out to a local travel agent that is highly recommended and see what pricing they might give you. I have read that depending on the time/place/etc - you might get better rates using one or the other. Also, if you choose to have your wedding on a lower peak time (not spring break time) - prices are usually cheaper.

 

Good luck to you!

      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!
