Hi!

 

I plan on getting married in 2015. When did you all book your dates. And if you don't mind me asking the price for your guest trip.

 

 

I've got tons of information that can be helpful! I've done sooo much research on this... My fiance and I are getting married May 2014 at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace in Bayahibe, La Romana, DR.  My fiance and I will arrive May 11 and leave May 24 (with all our guests). Our guests will arrive May 17 and leave May 24.  The cost per person is $650.00 which includes a 7 night, 8 day stay at an all-inclusive (all food, liquor, taxes, fees and gratuity included) resort, transport to and from the airport, and a day long group excursion on a private catamaran with a private lunch and snorkeling. We are renting a catamaran the day of the rehearsal for a sunset cruise with our wedding party for appetizers and cocktails before the dinner.  We are also paying for our parents to attend (not getting any help from them for our wedding), flying in a photographer and videographer, hiring a dj, buying my dress and all of the other things that go along with a wedding and anticipate coming out of pocket around $5 or $6k total.

 

Jamaica has cheaper flights, but DR has better/cheaper resorts... Also, just a heads up, the greatest discount any airline will give you as about 5%. It really just isn't worth the hastle... Also, no point in even looking into flights until about 6-9 months before hand as no airlines list them before then. Onetravel.com is a great resource for cheap flights, I recommend seeing who the cheapest carrier is and then going to their actual website and comparing the prices as they will sometimes be cheaper.

 

May is the beginning of hurricane season and the beginning of their offseason... it isn't likely that you will have any weather issues since it is so early in the season, but you will get deeply discounted rates on resorts and all the other fun stuff.

 

For resorts, the earliest you can get a good answer is about a year out and it's best to have an idea of the number of people that will be going, even a general idea is better than nothing (we just told all the vendors it was somewhere between 50 and 150 people).

    • 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!
