The pricing for Beach Weddings Studio is EXPENSIVE!!  3 hours with 1 photographer is $1k.  I'm thinking that it might be cheaper to just pay the $500 and bring someone in.  I am really bummed that Photo Souvenir is no longer the in house studio!

Heather22 we sent out Save the Dates as far out as possible, about 8 months out and had a nice turnout for us 13 including the two of us. 

How much time did you ladies give yourself for planning and to give your guests a Save the Date?  Sounds like you don't need much time to plan with Excellence as it's mostly done two months prior.  Did anyone give their guests about a 6 month notice and have a good showing?

 

thank you!

 

Bethb731 they will have speaker available to use during the ceremony but not for the reception time. That's an additional cost. We brought mini speakers along and used an iPod. Photo Souvenir was there when I got married so not sure how the new crew is. We only got the number of prints that came with our package but you can buy more for around $4 each not can't remember if they offered a disk of images but if so it was kind of pricey.

 

I am hoping to book for 12-13-14 I noticed they have changed their photographer to Beach Wedding Studio but since I had seen so many beautiful pictures taken with the old photographer (Photo Souvenir I believe) I inquired what the cost would be to have them take the pictures. it was a $500 fee to the Resort and you also have to pay for a day pass for the photographer(s) - I think im better off getting a package from their photographer! For any brides that already went - what is your suggestion about what to order for pictures? also, do they play music for a beach wedding? we kind of have "walk in" song and "walk out" songs - but I don't think we will be bringing along any speakers....


Sorry I haven't been around to help answer questions but I'll do my best.

@Shaylaj  you're back!!  YAY!  OMG, how was your wedding?  Tell us everything!  Were you happy with the Excellence?  A TA review posted recently giving them 1 star and saying how crappy the resort was and how the resort was extorting the bride and groom.  ACK!

      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!
