Hi, I'm new on BDW. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on booking a villa for the reception and the week around it. We want the ceremony on the beach and the reception back at the villa with both our immediate families staying at the villa with us. Also your opinions on whether a wedding coordinator is a necessity when our wedding is going to be so small? We are thinking about booking Casa Angela for a May 2011 wedding. We were between Casa Angela and Carol Ann, but had opted for Casa Angela as we liked the romantic ambience. However, my fiance is Australian and we are living in Australia. We can't afford to go check places out, so we are going off of the websites and the pics there, so if anyone has seen casa angela and can offer any feedback, I'd really appreciate it. We need a mininium of 8 bedrooms, preferable 9-10 depending on how the beds are configurated (5 kids will becoming). We're also on a bit of tight budget since I don't want accomodation for the week to be too expsensive since the family from Australia is already having to pay quite a bit for plane tickets. The other great thing about Casa Angela is that they will cater for up to 30 people, we just need to buy food and there is only a $15 per person event fee...we are only planning on having about 30 people so these were definitely selling points. I've gotten a few references from Casa Angela, but still would really like to hear opinions on it! Thank You! Kris

Hi, I'm new to the forum. My name is Kris and we are planning a wedding in Puerto Vallarta for May 2011. I'm originally from the Chicago area but currently live in Perth, Australia because my fiance is from here. So we opted to have our wedding closer to my family because of little neices and nephews. We are still in the process of finalizing our date, but we've finally decided to book a private casa (Casa Angela-please let me know if anyone here has anything to say about it) where both our intermediate families will stay and we'll have the reception. We are planning to have the ceremony on a nearby beach in the Conchas Chinas area. I'm trying to figure out the best photographer and florist-our wedding is going to be pretty small (30ish), so I wasn't planning on hiring a wedding coordinator so that I could use that money to go towards other things-I'm just hoping I can find all the information I need on my own. If anyone has any advice/tips for getting married in that area please let me know! I would really appreciate it
