Hi everyone, 
We're just getting started on our planning for an early 2015 wedding in Riviera Maya and have a few resorts that are at the top of our list. 
What was everyone's first step ? Contact the resort directly or talk to an independent wedding planner in the area ? 

I'm hoping that maybe an independent planner can help me with the contract since I've heard the resorts like to nickle and dime you for any type of customization and add fees for outside vendors. They might also be able to help out with details and communication since the resort planners can be pretty tied up with all the other weddings they're handling.

I'm a little overwhelmed sine I think we'll have close to 100 guests.

Looking forward to talking to everyone !

Hi IMchicago,

 

I would actually narrow down what resort you are considering first.  Some resorts do not allow outside coordinators.

 

If you want, tell me what resorts you are considering and I can go through the pros and cons of each or tell you how I would proceed.

 

Hi Tammy, 

We were thinking on the Grand Palladium Colonial Resort and Spa. I would like to use their chapel but also need to figure out if we can get legally married here and perform a " Catholic Light" ceremony in the chapel to make things easier. Also my fiance is not Catholic so we need to figure that out.

 

Another one on our list is Valentine Imperial , but they don't allow children which might be a problem.

 

Any suggestions advice you could offer would be much appreciated ! 

 

Thank you

Are you a Chicago bride?  Will you be attending the bridal expo in Schaumburg on the 19th?

Hi, 

I had no idea there was an expo. We live in Chicago but will be out of town on the 19th. Are local expos worth going to if I'm having a destination wedding ? 

It may give me some guidance on where to get a dress, I'm a little clueless on that part LOL. 

 

Thanks for letting me know of the expo I might try to look up their website and see if it has some good info !

I thought I'd check it out to at least get some deco ideas. Use 4 free ticket code: TKEB  from theknot.com!!

      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!
