Reception...

Hi everyone! I have ofically booked my date 8-23-08 at Cabo Azul Resort in San Jose Del Cabo. My issue is that if I have my reception at Azul it will be REALLY expensive. I found a resturant close to the resort and I could get alot more for my $$. Do resorts have issues with you having your wedding there and then a reception somewhere else?

Not speaking from experience, but I think that you'd be fine having your reception off-site. From posts on this site, I don't think that it's unheard of, especially if other places are easily accessible from the resort.

the only issue you might have is with them wanting all your guests to stay there, otherwise they could charge you a fee for the use of the property. for example, im getting married at the westin in san jose del cabo, and if i had only had my reception there and my guests didnt stay there too, i wouldve had to pay something like $3000 for use of the facility. when i blocked rooms though, the fee was dropped and the site fee became complimentary. you should check with cabo azul about what their policy is.

We are having our wedding ceremony at the Sheraton beach and then the reception at a private house near by. The Sheraton has been great with us; we even got the site free with a room block. They have been very quick to respond to all my questions and very helpful even though we are only doing the ceremony there. I'm glad we did the room block; it ended up being so much cheaper and easier for our guests.
