@@calgarybride2015 yay!! I know time is flying, what time is ur ceremony? what kind of paper work?

I originally had thought 330pm but changed it to 300pm to ensure enough light for photos and honesty, I want to enjoy the mariachi band too! Also incase it doesn't start on time. I've been told we lose light at 530pm!

 

We have to have in our menu selections, timing, songs, seating chart, cake and flower selections, etc. I'm sure it's ok if it changes some by the time we arrive but maybe they just want a heads up on what to expect.

 

What's your ceremony time and timeline for the day/night. I think I have mine down if you wouldn't mind giving your opinion!

just want to add - don't feel that just because other brides have done x, that you HAVE to do x too "because all DW brides do x". x being key card holders, OOT bags, wrapped lights around poles, a hug

@@calgarybride2015 wow your resort is way more prepared then mine, I haven't even heard back from the wedding coordinator yet. We have a 4pm ceremony booked and the date. As per my resorts forum we hear from them around the 3 month mark to pick out everything. But should be something like 4pm ceremony till 430 giving us a hour or so for pictures then dinner starts at 6-8 then the reception from 8-11 seems to be the pattern for every wedding at our resort. As for all the details I can't really do anything till I have confirmation of numbers this month for guests and hear from the resort about tables and restaurant choose ect. We have our dinner at one of he a la carts. So I am trying to be patient and wait and hope it will all fall into place. Lol

Absolutely you can run it by me !! Love to hear it

When I booked my package back in May they sent me all my locations to choose from, options for open bars, receptions, cakes, flowers, extras, etc.   Did yours not?     From then on I have just emailed them with questions, to get quotes for certain flowers, etc.  

 

This is what I am thinking

3:00-3:30pm ceremony

3:30-4:00pm quick toast and group photos

4:00-5:00pm mariachi band then guests can head over to the palapa for open bar/sign guestbook/mingle.

I want to see some of the mariachi band/have photos with them, so I assume I will do photos with groom from about 415pm-515pm

500pm ish - 11pm will be reception dinner and dancing

11pm - disco

 

I was going to do 330pm as I said above, but if it runs late I definitely can't see any of the mariachi band as I want to ensure I have atleast 1 hour for photos!  Also scared to lose the light!

 

I think my layout is also fairly standard for my resort when the palapa is used  (covered hut like building on the private beach)  We aren't using an A'la Carte for dinner.  Yours sounds great!

 

Our final payments are due October 17, so also hoping to see that our final numbers stick!

@@calgarybride2015 schedule sounds good. You could always do your photos first then head to the band and mingle with your guests that way heading to dinner late is better then heading to pictures late then you can relax :) unless the band is only there till 5?

I haven't received anything from my resort. No restaurant choices no reception options no flower brochures nothing !!! I have relied on this site and my resorts forum for everything. If I didn't have this I would be in the dark. It's really annoying but hopefully I'll hear something soon :)

I could have the mariachi band at the reception.  Most brides have it right after the ceremony from all the reviews I have read on my resort.  Something to think about :) Thanks!

 

I would be totally frustrated too, but I guess without this board we wouldn't know any different on how it came/does work!

      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!
