i need help!! I've been reading lots of reviews and almost everyone talks about extra charges after 30-40 guest. We are estimating a big wedding. Maybe 80-100 guest. We wanted an all inclusive hotel to make it cheaper but seems that may not be the best bet. anyone had a big party?? what can you guys recommend?

Congratulations on your engagement!

 

You didn't mention when and where you and your guests are traveling from or where you are considering for your DW.

 

Travel costs can vary substantially before you even get to the hotel and many people say they want to go but are very difficult to nail down with a commitment of deposit money and airfare when it comes time to pay.

 

So, you may not have the issue you are concerned about.

In addition to what TAkathy said (which is totally true), many hotels offer incentives like free events or perks for weddings with large number of guests. You can still have some nice events taking advantage of these perks (consider this when choosing resort), and being smart. (Save money from hosting a private cocktail hour before dinner by designating a location on your AI resort for your guests to mingle at (for free) while you are getting photos done... Don't extend your reception for extra time ($$) and move to an onsite disco to keep reception going after your allotted time etc.

 

Don't worry- if you have more guests (which will be awesome but until they BOOK that can change), and plan a more relaxed/less expensive series of activities/events.

Definitely some great ideas! It is true that most packages in the hotel will be aimed towards 10-30 people. So if you are planning to go over this amount there is usually an extra fee per person. But still very manageable and still will save money in the end. Usually off the resort you need to consider atleast $100/person for food/drink. 

 

If you ever have any questions let me know and I will be happy to help!

    • 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!
    • 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!
