I used Judd Sather from Minneapolis. Highly recommend him. We also used Ben Pancoast for our engagement pics. He can in to Chicago for our photos. Great prices for pancoast and you get all the rights to your pics. Both do amazing work.

I would be glad to send you pics. my email address is chellmm5@hotmail.com The cake was the round cake serving 30-40 ( round white with small flowers) there will be pics to show you if you email me. It was windy on the skydeck.... but we had like hurricane winds. I had my hair done in the salon and she made sure I had enough hairspray. Just make sure the part in your hair with the side you will be standing on. I didn't bring any decoration for the reception. I did make votive candle name place-cards instead of paying for votive candles. But they had really cool large blue blown glass candles that were at each table also. I also had a candy buffet. Everyone seemed to really enjoy that. Make sure to take pictures of how you want things to look. My only regret was not going up to the Zaccolo terrace prior to the reception. I would have fixed my candy buffet. So I didn't really bring any lanterns or anything. I wanted to but I didn't get it done. The lighting is nice and dim and trees and such are lit up in the background. They brought the flowers from the ceremony over so no need to go crazy with table settings. For the cocktail hour... The donkey was true entertainment and a great photo-op moment. I only wish that there would have been chairs. They threw in 5 chairs but if i would have been smarter I would have had some of the guys move over the park benches for extra seating. We had our by the pool outside Zacolo, so for the ladies it got a little tiring with heels on the cement.

I thought I would share my Azul Sensatori experience with everyone. So it was a really nice resort. I have been to several mexican resorts that were inclusive and some that were not. The food was good and endless drinks always make things better. Our guests liked it that there was lots of variety. I highly recommend the Sienna restaurant. We were greeted with champagne and friendly service everywhere. Our on-sight wedding planner went above and beyond. We had a few last minute requests that were taken care of. We requested a Grooms dinner the night before the wedding for all the guests (40 in total) they gave us a set menu that was really good. The only hitch to that is we didn't think about seating arrangement prior to the dinner. So all 40 of us walked in and it was kind of crazy. I would suggest thinking of seating arrangements ahead of time for events like that... at least have in mind that there are tables of 8 and where you and your parents may sit. We got married on the sky deck which was amazing and worth the extra cash. we also opted to have a private reception at Zacolo and had the donkey cocktail hour. I highly recommend having a private reception. If you get the pearl package a pay for your private reception dinner vs. the included dinner in spoon. We used a resort DJ last minute and were very satisfied. But do get your requested play list to them early. My only complaint was my cake... It didn't look like a professional did it. It was not at all as it was pictured from Lomas travel. The wedding planner also noticed its lack of perfection. Well sorry for the extra long chat but I thought I would share my thoughts. Good luck to you all. And I hope this helps. I will try my best to upload some photos

I was just at Azul Sensatori. They were not concerned about the witnesses being there 3 business ahead of the wedding date. They must be present the day you have the mandatory meeting with the onsight wedding planner. We grabbed our friends as they checked in to be our witnesses.

I enjoyed reading everyones Azul Sensatori stories. I am beyond excited. We haven't decided if we are going to have a private reception or just a cocktail hour. Any info would be helpful. Michelle
