Hello to all future brides,

We just returned from our wedding week in Playa and it was beautiful. I have some information for you regarding the beach club and some attached pictures (November 8), as well.

The food at Blucacao is excellent-we went with the Fish, Beef Fajitas and Chicken Fussili option without a dessert (we had the cupcake "cake" for the guests' dessert). Though I am sure that all of the food is wonderful there, no matter which food option you choose. Just make sure you have place cards for the tables. I didn't do that and it was very confusing for everyone on where to sit. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since there were only 33 people but make sure you do it anyway. It will help the guests greatly.

We had appetizers prior to the dinner which was great as well. I made sure the stairs to the upper part of the club were closed off due to our party having 33 people and I didn't want everyone to be scattered around the place. This worked great because everyone stayed in a central location. You can see in the pictures how it looked. We chose the International Open Bar option which was nice for the guests to choose what they wanted to drink.

The ambiance at Blucacao is such that you don't need a lot of decoration to make it look elegant. The scenery does most of that already. See the pictures of the decorated tables and you can tell "minimal" really is all that is needed for the decorations. I only wanted the wedding color added (blue) and some candles, etc. I used the chairs from the club. So, no need to order others.

The cake was awesome! My Mother-in-law said the filling was the best she'd ever had! It was the strawberry fondant filling from La Pasteleria.

DJ Martin is a sweetheart! I had a very long list of songs that I wanted to be played but the younger kids decided to change up the music and play current songs (which Martin happily downloaded on the spot and played right away!). He is very flexible and very fun.

The waiters at Blucacao are the best!!!! They were a special part of our "Tequila fest" (as I like to describe it!). Loved them all!

Our wedding ceremony and reception was from 4:00-10:30pm. We had shuttle vans pick us up at 10:30pm and they drove us back to the condos where we all stayed in Playacar. It was smooth as can be!

I hope this information helps you with your planning. Just remember, don't sweat the small stuff. Maria and Erica truly know their stuff and will make sure everything comes together perfectly!

Congratulations to you both and best wishes.

Brad and Jennifer Osborne
