Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

RE: AB ceremony locations

 

I cannot remember who asked, but I agree with Amy B. about the gazebo - it's really small and I think it would be hard for guests to see what is going on - even if it's the bride and groom. We got married the same place that Amy did - it was a bit windy, but it's much more open.

We got married by the same person! I thought she was fantastic - read our ceremony that we wrote - added a little in (DH gave her permission to do so) and it was perfect and fit with the rest of our ceremony.

OK, I am only on page 750! But wanted to give some advice or what we did...

 

I wore platform flip flops for the same reason - there is a foot difference btwn me and DH. Claudia didnt even have me take off the shoes during our pix b/c she said our height difference was too much - LOL. This is what I wore: Amazon.com: WHITE WEDGE HIGH HEEL NOMAD BLING FLIP FLOP WITH SEQUIN TRIM SHOE SIZE 9: Clothing

The wooden plank is very unstable so if you walk in heels I'd almost say don't have the plank. I tested out the plank after another girls wedding the Thurs before mine and decided to do the flip flops and not the heels.

 

Katie, you are so freaking cute I love seeing your pictures. I was a bit bummed there were not more fun english hair feather/flower thingys though Congrats on such a gorgeous day. That cant be the easiest thing in the UK

 

Oh girl - I have only seen your siggy picture and DAMN is that was your TTD dress then I cant imagine how fabulous you would have looked in your 1st dress. And the storm clouds look so good in pictures.

That super sucks about you having to move again. Can his company give him a time or length committment in Little Rock? I have only heard GREAT things about Little Rock. It sounds so southern to me, but anyone I have met who has worked there or gone down for a business trip loves it. I would actually consider it myself. I hope you have a smooth transition.. You deserve to have your honeymoon phase uninterrupted!

 

I had a symbolic ceremony on Saturday with the Free Wedding package (ie no higher costs). The minister was amazing.

 

SOOOO jealous! I bet your are in picture heaven! I cant wait to get mine. Claudia is sending them to my Dad's. I'll be there June 25th so I hope they get there by then. If not I'll have to wait until AHR on July 24th... Are you getting an albumn made too?

 

OK, well I think Karisma is owned by this guy who also owns LOMAS. I am not sure, but I really think they are all interrelated. The hotel uses a vendor, Lomas, to handle all special events including weddings. So you have a WC from Lomas and also one from the hotel. You meet with both for your planning meeting. Lomas then uses the spa people from the hotel. So, it must be all interrelated somehow.

I used the hair & make up people. Stay tuned for my review, but I can tell you that they are very good, you just have to be very specific as you get your stuff done. They recreated my hair perfectly, but other people we did have to say _ more volume or less volume - etc. They don't just take your hair and use their creativity and they always said "I think it looks good" for everything. For example, I brought down fake eyelashes from MAC which were ridiculously long. They put them on and I was like "now way, I look like a doll" they were like an inch long! But the spa lady said she thought they looked good. My friends handed her the scissors and told her to cut the length in half. MUCH better! They were happy to make any changes we wanted.

 

I wonder if you had the same lady we did. DH said she was really nice before the ceremony and calming. She read our ceremony perfectly and even edited some parts wher I had grammatical errors. I'll post my ceremony script later for anyone who is interested.

I think might have started this already. They were chipping away at that mansion past the AB - you know the one that is between AB & the nudey resort? That must be where they are expanding b/c the Villa is right next door on the other side. It was not overly noisy but I would not get a bachfront massage until 6pm or later.

i"ll post my pix, the pix I gave the resort, and the prices. I think all in (5 bouquets, 5 boutineers, 5 centerpeices, and canopy flowers) it was about $300-$400 total. And they were the prettiest flowers I have seen at a wedding.

I hope the drama is over for you Lindz. My computer wont let me log into her site. I'll try tomorrow at work! The 2 so far are amazing. I wish I would have had them done professionally now in multiple outfits. So cute.

So cute Amy! I love that he cried. Thats awesome. Does it make the liver cleanse worth it? haha

Honestly, that last bit of advice is what you should adhere to for everything. Make sure you let them know everything you want, they may be hesitant at first, but thats what you want so thats what they'll do. I wanted to stand on the right (usual guys side) b/c of my one strapped dress - and they said "oh thats not where the bride usually stands" and so on and I said "thats ok, that is the side I am going to stand on. Mark will need to be standing on the left when I come down the aisle" and they say "ok, we;ll do that" and move on. I found that is how the planning meeting worked!

Amy, I love those teasers!! Your white setup looks soooooo elegant and simple--I can't wait to see more pictures as well as the full flower effect!!!

 

Heehee, I love that you're giddy. It's fun being a new bride!!!

 

Hey, did you end up doing a lounge area on the Terrace?

Yes, we did the lounge area to the left of the DJ set up. There were 2 couches, 1 or 2 chairs, and about 2 ottomans with the pink and orange pillows. It was cute. They added a few tea light candles as well.

 

Did anyone write Thank You notes to the people in Mexico? I never tipped the hotel WC. Did anyone?

Fun!!

Yes, we wrote a Thank You to the WCs and tipped them quite well. We tipped others too (e.g. the servers who waited on our reception) but I think the WCs are the only hotel people we gave a Thank You card to. Once I got back I wrote a letter to the GM thanking the resort for all they did, as well as individually naming all the people who made our stay so wonderful.

AmyBermuda welcome back!!!! I have been thinking about you practically every day since you left (not creepy though...don't worry you don't have a stalker or anything). I'm so so so glad that your wedding turned out beautifully...you looked so gorgeous (and so did your hubby) and I love how your BMs wore different dresses! Everyone looked so fantastic!!!

 

With every great AB review I get more and more excited to go down there and get hitched! Can't wait to see your pro pics! Claudia is my photog too

 

Welcome home!

That's what we're here for!!! To keep you as sane as possible. I can't tell you I am a natural worrier and drove myself nuts quite often planning my wedding. None of it was worth it, my wedding day was the best day of my life and I regret nothing

YAY!!! back MRS!!!!!! Happy to have you in the club

Can't believe this girl crying... COME ON! I am the fiesty one that would have told her to lock it up. Riiiiddddiculous.

It was so perfect that no one got bumped, everything worked out in the end! I told you it would

I was married by the same woman! She was amazing, I was very happy with her. Wrote our entire ceremony and she learned it like 2 days prior.

GORGEOUS! You look amazing and I love the chic white setup, similar to mine. Your bridesmaids look so amazing all different colored dresses.

SOOOO jealous! I bet your are in picture heaven! I cant wait to get mine. Claudia is sending them to my Dad's. I'll be there June 25th so I hope they get there by then. If not I'll have to wait until AHR on July 24th... Are you getting an album made too?QUOTE]

I do love them! They are so fun to look at, so hard to choose! I can't wait to see yours.

My package I bought from my photog includes my wedding album and a small brag book.

It does make it worth it, especially after being gluttonous in Mexico for 2 weeks, I look at those pictures and consider doing it again!

I gave our WC a tip on a whim but no one else... I felt weird about it because they literally listed out everyone's names as if they were expecting one and I was honestly too busy enjoying my wedding to remember, ooops!

Hi All,

I'm a newbie around here. I've actually been lurking on this and a couple other threads for a few weeks now since we got engaged as we try and select a resort for our wedding in the Mayan in May/June 2011. I have read this thread I believe from start to finish (it took a looong time). :-)

 

I think we've narrowed it down to the Azul Sensatori with a back up option in case the prices are out of our range of possibilities. We're just waiting for the pricing confirmation and confirmation of a wedding date. I'm so excited I can't stand it.

 

One question for you AS brides. Does anyone know if their is any kind of separate pricing for the Private Reception for children? I know that lots of resorts offer a 2 for 1 or children under 12 are free but I haven't been able to find any details about that for the AS yet.

 

Thanks in advance, and here's hoping I officially become an AS bride soon!
