Hi y'all!

I'm brand new to this forum and am getting married Nov 2014 at Sandals Grande Antigua and was wondering if anyone has any recent info/advice regarding their wedding experience? I read some past threads yesterday with some less than desirable information regarding ceremony location, photography, and floral selections which kinda worry me, but the info seems a bit dated so I decided to see if some of you could help clarify things. Here are some of the concerns I have; any help is greatly appreciated:

 

-Is a beach ceremony really that terrible?

-Does the beach gazebo really overlook the beach?

-Are the photographers really that bad? And can anyone recommend any alternatives?

-I am terrible with makeup and hair, so I'm relying on the bridal salon for the big day. What was your experience?

-Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if they would allow me to get married in a swimsuit/cover-up ensemble?

-Does anyone have any recent photos of their ceremony/reception they wouldn't mind sharing? I don't want to rely solely on the website pics. 

 

I apologize for all the questions, just looking to ease my mind a bit.

 

Thanks in Advance!

Solvi705 we got married at Sandals Antigua in 2011.  It was the best time of our lives.  The photographers were wonderful!  We did not have to book anything ahead of time.  When you get there you will meet with your wedding planner and finalize everything.  We even did a cake tasting :)  We got married at the beachfront gazebo and we liked it because the beach can have quite a few vendors and people walking around and we wanted to see the beach however we wanted a little privacy.  The location was absolutely perfect for us.  We got married at 3:00 p.m.  After the ceremony the photographer took us around the resort and took beautiful wedding pictures.  We wanted sunset pictures on the beach so she told us to come back at sunset and we did and another photographer took beautiful sunset pictures.  We were able to go in the next day and pick what we wanted.  We actually got our pictures on a disk which was wonderful because we could make our own album and print/resize our own pictures to whatever we wanted.  Very easy to do and it gave us so many more pictures.

You can get married in anything you want to.  You can even change your mind on your location if you get there and decide you like a better spot.  They are so wonderful and flexible and they are all about making it a special day for you.  the beach gazebo does have more lush vegetation than they had in the pictures so it makes it a little more private.  Message me and I will add you to my facebook where you can see the pictures if you like. 

 

You will absolutely love it!!!

      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!
