That's wonderful! you get a nice long time to get comfy before the wedding :) Just make sure you wear lots of sunscreen! MY biggest fear at this moment is being sunburnt in a wedding gown!

Yes! Lol. Fingers crossed! I've never burnt down there before, so I didn't even consider that. My fiancée on the other hand.....

Ok, so just so I am understanding this right beacuase I'm trying to figure this out myself....You  can get married legally in Mexico and have the ceremony in English, but you have to find a judge who speaks English? Or can you only have a symbolic ceremony in English? Sorry, just a bit confused and just got into all this wedding planning....Thanks!

Hi @BDABeachBum!

 

From the research I did, some resorts will provide a judge that speaks English for a legal ceremony, and some do not. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. When I was looking at various resorts wedding websites, they usually stated whether or not the judge would speak English or if the wedding co-ordinator would be translating for the ceremony. Hope that helps!

My fiancé and I will be arriving 4 business days prior to our legal ceremony, but what about witnesses? I was told we need 4 but read in a few places that 1) they 4 cannot be the bride and groom's parents and 2) the hotel can provide witnesses for you. Info on this? Wanted to know for booking/planning!

@@nattiegams325 you may have to use the search bar to answer your question - most resorts can provide witnesses and I know for sure if you bring witnesses with you they have to be in the country a few days before the wedding. I don't know for sure if they can be family or not. Are you just going down with your parents?

I actually listened to to the Dreams Riviera Cancun webinar this past Saturday through this forum and got to ask the wedding coordinator directly! For the legal ceremony 4 witnesses (can be anyone, including parents, as long as they're over 18) have to be there 4 business days prior, along with the bride and groom, or the hotel can provide them. One less question to stress over haha :-)

      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!
