Hello All! My name is Jenna! I just recently got engaged. We have known for some time that we would like to have a destination wedding. I started some subtle research before we officially became engaged, but the farthest I got was to make the decision on a Jamaica DW...(I HOPE! :wacko:) I am currently waiting on a travel agent to get back with me with some advice on resorts! Is this the best place to start? Whats the next best step after picking the resort, booking your date? I feel like I have sooo many questions, that hopefully the TA will be able to help me with! I went ahead and contacted Wright travel agency thru this website instead of a local agent, mainly because I have read TONS and TONS and TONS of good reviews on here about them and how great they are at planning destination weddings! If anyone has any tips, insights, or any type of info that might be pertinent to me, I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback! Congrats to all other new brides-to-be!!! Happy planning!

Hi Jenna,

 

Definitely joining this website was the best thing you could have done! Also finding a good travel agent is key as well! I have heard lots of good things about Wright Travel so I am sure you are in good hands. Picking a location is great! Makes it easier to narrow down your resorts. First thing I did was decide on a country (we chose Cuba) and then decided what factors were important for us in a resort (ie. kid friendly or adults only, proximity to the airport, major cities, ceremony venues, etc), from there we narrowed our choices down to the resorts that offered everything we were looking for. Price was our biggest factor as we had friends and family we really wanted to be able to attend. So once we found a few places that we liked, we picked a week that worked for us and received quotes on the resorts. We ended up going with the cheapest resort, but I think it was by fluke that we got such a good deal on the resort, because now the price of the resort is over $500 more for the same week then when we booked in April!

 

Also there are TONS of diy ideas on this forum... I never thought I'd be able to diy anything let alone invitations and centrepieces, but with the great templates and ideas I found on here I was able to save quite a few $$. And don't let things stress you out, the nice thing about having a destination wedding is that people who can and want to will come, you will have beautiful venues and scenery, so you won't need much decor, just enjoy the process and allow lots of time to plan, because we all know they work on island time in the caribbean!

      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!
