I added to a thread on this topic but it's in a random place on the site so I'm posting again here lol Was curious as to what your timelines look like? I was wondering if I should leave a little time between cocktail hour and reception to allow people settle in to the reception area. Right now it's as follows:

 

4:00 Beach Ceremony

5-6 Cocktail Hour - During this time I'm assuming I will be off taking photos

6-10 Reception ( I will work on this specific timeline later on)

 

My fear is that with cocktail hour and reception in 2 different areas and reception starting the second cocktail hour ends, people will take time to settle in and find their place and this will take away from the actual reception fun time. Maybe I should put a half hour in between?

Do you think your ceremony will take a whole hour? I think they are usually done in like 20 minutes - so maybe your cocktail hour goes 4:30-5:30 and that gives you some buffer time for people to mosey over to the reception location!

@@beckys98 My original timeline had exactly that - 4:30-5:30. Then when I emailed it to my WC she put 5-6 in blue color next to my suggestion, which seemed like a way of her saying 'no it needs to be 5-6' lol I'm not sure why because I would have liked it immediately following. Maybe I will revisit this with her.

@@Lia33 I think she starts it at 5pm because they do the champagne toast with everyone after the ceremony and then keep some of your bridal party and family there for photos before they are escorted to the cocktail hour. If you look at the DJ timeline (if you got that yet) it says the reception starts at 6:15PM so not a half hour but 15 minutes for your guests to settle in and find their seats.

      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!
