Hi ladies,

Anyone hearing concerns or complaints about the fee our guests have to pay to attend the wedding if they are not staying at the resort?

Tiffany, ive gotten complains. My fiance's mom doesn't want to stay at zilara and is complaining about the $100 outside fee to attend. I personally have about had it with her and her complaints so I'm not even offering to pay it for her. We offered her a COMP ROOM and she denied it. Every other guest is staying on location for at least the wedding several others are just staying the 3 night min then going to another hotel.

 

As far as vendors I haven't booked anything but photography with an outside company and they cover the fee or i have to just pay $100 i can't remember =) I'm going down the first wee in October for our big day preview so I can ask some questions if anyone has some

@@Kcusack89 I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing complaints. It's been so irritating that at this point I've just been telling people it's fine if they don't stay there because I'm tired of the complaints. It's too late in the game at this point to switch resorts.

@@tiffanyt thanks for starting this thread! 

@@Kcusack89  if you could share any info you have after the Big Day preview I'd be so grateful. I'd also love to see the wedding packet that many have talked about with floral arrangements and set up options. 

I have been going back and forth on having a destination wedding in Jamaica because I couldnt decide on a venue. I recently looked into Hyatt Ziva and am really excited that it may be the place! Hoping to book soon so we can help each other plan. Planning for a July 2017 wedding.

Of course! I have the flower packet but of course it exoired or something the link no longer works I was just going to post it. They do have a very large selection of flowers and center pieces. The one thing that took me off guard was the menu. Apparently if you want to do sit down service u can only have one entree so have to do a buffet but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. But I'm pretty excited overall to check out the proper. I'll be getting hair and makeup trial as well so I can comment on that as well

My problem with their centerpiece and flower packet is that everything is so pricey! I'm bringing some of my own stuff but looking at outside florists as well for my bridesmaid bouquets. I figure I wont have to pay the outside vendor fee if I just have someone pick them up or if I pick them up myself.

im almost certain that i am bringing my own centerpieces. I dont even know the prices for theirs :P My wedding planner from the resort takes forever to return my emails sometimes so I just gave up on asking prices. I'l look at it agian when im there in a few weeks. As for flowers im not having the traditional bridal party. Still having bridesmaids but they wont walk or stand with us so i dont need to get their flowers. Just another way to save.

That's a really good idea! I was considering just giving them something else to hold since flowers can be expensive and wasteful but we'll see. Who is your coordinator? I guess since I had problems early on my coordinator Julienne has made sure to be responsive so that I don't complain lol.

It's Denisha. She's was great in the beginning but now I keep getting an auto response when I email her saying she's out of office will be back September 5th...it's the 13th I'm anxious to get time to do a hair and makeup trial. I'm sure they'll have plenty of open slots when I'm there I just like things set in stone

    • 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!
