December 2014 Brides?


MsKaylee

Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Kaylee and my fiancee and I got engaged around Christmas 2012! We just celebrated our 6 year anniversay together in late January :)

 

We are set on having a destination wedding in either Jamaica or Riviera Maya in December 2014.

 

A few hiccups that we have run into are:

 

  1. My fiancee is a substitude teacher (hoping for a contract soon!) so he needs to work whatever days he can and this limits us to travelling only during the school breaks throughout the year which also means "high times" at most resorts leading to higher rates for us and our guests.
  2. My travel agent just recently told us that she will be accepting a new job entirely outside the travel agent field :(
  3. The new travel agent I am corresponding with has told me that no rates/flights are available to look into until February 2014. This just won't work for us! We want to give our family and friends a good amount of time, at least a year to save for this trip since travelling during Christmas time will put us at the $2,000+ rate. I just don't see how this is possible when they expect you to put your deposit down right at booking for a $2,000+ trip and have the ENTIRE balance paid off 90 days before the first travel date, which would be September 2014, giving our guests 7 months to pay another $1,800+.

 

Is this true? I had a friend who got married in December 2012 (before the Christmas break mind you) and she had her rates/rooms open for a year and a half.

 

I'm becoming very discouraged and feeling like the idea of a beach wedding is next to impossible!

 

Any advice, words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated as any time someone brings up our wedding planning I pretty much break down in tears with all the stress that is currently surrounding it :(

    • 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!
