2015 Bride Here :)

Getting married 01/07/2015!!!! SO EXCITED!!! We've booked the Gran Porto Real--anyone else looking at this resort???

 

I've been planning since October and have been anxious to get everything going!! The flights and resort just recently put up their prices so I booked!!! I'm too anxious to wait for anything, so I HAD to get the ball rolling!!!

 

Here's what I have booked so far--

 

--resort-- We choose the Gran Master Oceanfront which gives us full access to the Royal across the street as this is their sister resort--adult only!! That way if we need to escape from our guests we can   :wub:

 

--Wedding package- We are unsure how many guests are attending so we opted for the Classisc Wedding package (they do offer a free one if you have a certain amount of rooms books for a certain amount of nights)... We are upgrading the semi private reception to a private beach reception ($15 pp) and are hiring a DJ for an additional $950.00 which offers a light up dance floor for $750.00--undecided on this still

 

--flight with seats reserved.. We chose to use Delta Vacation through our TA and they offer a $200 credit to guests and $50 for each ticket booked for the bride and groom.

 

--photographer (Dean Sanderson http://deansandersonweddings.com/  or https://www.facebook.com/DeanSandersonWeddings ) check him out--his work is fantastic and him and his wife Anna have been a pleasure to work with and very helpful!!

 

--videographer ( Mike Cantrell http://mikecantarellfilms.com/  he offers two film styles and was referred by Dean and Anna--he has been very helpful and great to work with as well... Great thing is that Dean and him often do work together and will come to the resort as a team so there is only one outside vendor fee of $350.00

 

Just wanted to share my information!! If there are any other 2015 Riviera Maya brides please share your experiences thus far!! I'd love to be able to ask/answer questions!!!   :D

    • 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!
