I know you directed your question at Rachel, but I have eaten at Pipi's and it's really good! The atmosphere is really lively and fun. However, depending on the night you go, the noise level could be a bit much. But that also depends on your families - that may be just what you want to break the ice elefant.gif No idea how it measures up to Fajita Republic.

On another note, I get married at LC in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were going to stay at Barcelo Mismoloya but are now concerned that it might be too far to town (for those that want to venture in) and then the ride to the marina would be quite long from what I hear. Just wanted to get some advise from some other brides. I want to get everything booked now! We are learning heavily towards an all-inclusive but I think we are still open to any suggestions. We think we will have about 40 people and the hotel has to allow children. Thanks so much for your help!!

I've been trying to get my reviews up, but your post has motivated me to hurry up! Please see my thread. I'll be adding things as I find time to write them, but I intend to review everything eventually :) Hope this is helpful.

Thank you ladies for the input! I guess I just have to pick a spot and book it...I didn't realize that PiPi's was that lively and it sounds like a lot of fun!

 

Congrats on the up coming wedding Christina and I can't wait to read your review. I am getting pretty excited about my own...Only 34 days until mine and there are so many little details to figure out!

Hello everyone!! I joined the forum awhile back, but I have been super busy with work so I haven't had a chance to check back until now! There is so much information here, and I'm getting really excited. My FI and I are getting married on March 21, 2009 at Las Caletas! We've been working with Kelley and she is so great. We did a site visit last June and fell in love with it right away. We just sent out our save the dates and so far we have about 20 confirmed guests. We're planning on having around 50 total. Rachel - I noticed that you were married around that time too. How was the lighting and the weather? I can't wait to post more info. as we finalize some of the planning! :)

Welcome Britt(ney?). The weather is fabulous- not to hot in the day, just perfect for the pool. It does cool down quite a bit at night so remind your guests to take a sweater/ light jacket to the wedding. The catarman ride back is kinda cold so they will definitely want one.

 

The lighting worked out perfect for us. You can see my pro pics by clicking on the link in my siggy or going to ELIZABETH LLOYD - Photographer and clicking on "weddings" and viewing Rachel & Steve's slideshow. We also posted all our pics here: Shutterfly Both pro and non-pro. That should give you a good idea of lighting.

 

I would say that we had our ceremony at 6:15p (assuming we started on time- I don't know) and we probably photographed for a little more than an hour afterwards. We then had dinner (by that time it was pretty dark.) You can still have VERY cool pics at LC once it gets dark.

Just a few of my fav night pics!

 

I hope that helps.

 

Also- those pics are a tad distorted by shutterfly. They are much clearer so unfortunately, they don't look as pretty as they actually are. Sorry!

Thanks, Rachel! It's spelled Brittany, not like Spears :)...but I just go by Brit. Those pictures are amazing. It definitely helps relieve some of my worries, thanks! We are using Elizabeth Lloyd too! It looks like she does some amazing work. Did you use her for your rehearsal dinner too? We are thinking about it, but we might just save the money and just rely on friends and family.

No- we just had family and friends. I did hire her for a trash the dress session the day after the wedding. Unfortunately, I was VERY sick with a cold during the wedding (and after) that I had to cancel. Beth is awesome. She refunded our money for the session even though I cancelled the day of.

 

You will like her. :)

    • 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!
