Hi! My fiancé and I have booked a free wedding at the Paradisus Varadero in May 2014.Initially, we were extremely excited to have our wedding here, with that gorgeous gazebo overlooking the ocean, and having heard from our friends (who also got married at a different resort in Cuba) how wonderful both Cuba and this resort are.

 

However, we are now being given a ton of information that I was not initially aware of including extras and pricing.... first off, we're being told that we will only have roughly 1.5 hours for dinner and an à la carte restaurant, that no speeches would be allowed of any kind in the restaurant, and that our reception would be an additional 18 CUC per person/per hour!

 

We were not expecting to be quoted these kinds of prices, especially as this resort is one of the Meliá resorts. Our friends got married at Meliá Las Dunas, and not only did they have a private dinner but also were able to have the reception immediately following in the same place, with no extra charges. I wanted to ask anyone else who was gotten married at the Paradisus Varadero what their experience was of the whole event.

 

My fiancée and are particularly shocked because we have booked the resort for two weeks (for ourselves) in the Master Junior Royal service suite and we are already spending so much money that these extra fees just seem ridiculous – especially as there is free alcohol all over the resort, included in the resort package!

 

If anyone is willing to share their experience, I would be very grateful!

      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!
