I am just wondering if everyone who had been to destination weddings or have been married at resorts have had issues with their resort. We were originally booked on the 6th for a symbolic ceremony then recently got told from our parents they would like the legal ceremony down there. So we are running into the issue with us arriving on Sunday and this not counting as a business day that we have to wait till Thursday the 7th instead of the 6th now the only issue with this is the only time available on the 7th now is noon. I feel this is too early for us to get married. 

 

I am curious as to if anyone has gone somewhere privately off of the resort to get married or if this is even a thing as I would like a later time.

 

Thank you!!

Hello,

We have a lot of brides on here who go off site, hopefully they can chime in for you.

 

Do you think you could speak to your parents and just explain the circumstance and how you would like to leave things 'as is' and have your legal back home?    

 

I say do what is best for you and your fiance.

 

Good luck!

Of course people get married off the resort like at restaurants and villas and las caletas but IMO I would rethink that legal marriage there. Lots of money and a hassle. In the end it's yours and your FIs decision. My mom wasn't that excited about it but she realizes it's my choice. In the end to us it's paperwork at home so we can have more time to enjoy ourselves . Just a thought

@@Julianne - There is a requirement to be in the country a certain amount of days before your legal marriage because you have to complete paperwork, get your blood tests, etc. I'm not sure how or if going off of a resort would change this requirement but it would not eliminate it completely. As previously mentioned, getting legally married in Mexico has the potential to be a pain and much more expensive. That being said, some still choose to go that route and have not had issues. We are doing symbolic, but I'm sure other brides on here could better speak to their experiences or plans with a legal wedding. Good luck!

@@nadiakat17 @@calgarybride2015 - The requirement for symbolic weddings is for planning purposes. Most resorts require 2+ full days to allow for a meeting and being able to get everything in order.

Yup! I just said that above too!! I think ours was that too but I married on day 5 so wasn't an issue.

@@calgarybride2015 - Same here. We are getting in on Wednesday and married on Saturday. I could see why they do it, especially because I'm sure plenty of couples make some of their planning decisions at the resort during their meeting with the WC so they need time to prep everything. :)

Oh most definatley. I know for me some of my flower selections (colors) were last minute. You wouldn't want it too quick anyways as you need to settle in and calm down!!! Knowing what I know now on day 2 or 3 would have been way way to quick!!

      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!
