Sandals Royal Caribbean March 2013 Wedding

Hey Conniealice27,

 

   Excited to hear about your upcoming Sandals RC wedding!! I just got married on Sept 18th and had such a great time!!! I wanted to chime in on your question about the sandals photographer situation...I really would not recommend them. After seeing the work they do (its posted all over the resort, AND I have personally seen them taking picutres of couples). I feel that they hire some random jamaican person to come and take pictures and since I am confident they dont really have alot of experience the pictures are very basic & "posed" if you know what I mean. I feel that you are going to spend quite a bit of money and not be happy with they product. 3rd party vendors are not allowed however if someone is staying at the resort, even a professonal photographer, they are allowed to take pictures. I hired a photographer that came down only for travel costs. I paid for her & a second photog's flight + hotel (b/c sandals 2 person bookings) for 3 nights and it was only $1700. She took pics at rehearsal dinner & beach party, the wedding, and we even did another shoot the day after the wedding and she gave me ALL 1300 pictures she took!! I got lucky b/c she got married at Montego Bay resort and has done a couple weddings there so she knew the lay of the land...You will spend $1800 on pics at sandals and only get like 110 or something. Total rip off,..especially once you see the pics! If you cant find someone to do it or dont want to spend that kind of money i would just have someone in your party take the pictures. You will get just as nice ones as you would with the sandals photographer. I know that is probably not what you want to hear but i always heard it wasnt the best and I literally made the decision last minute to not go with them and Im so happy I did. During my 10day stay there was about 2 or 3 weddings per day and the people that I talked to were also very unhappy with what they got for their money. Just something to think about. Hope this helps :-/

    • 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!
