Hey Ladies< i wanted to check and show my excitment for all the upcoming brides, Its so cool to see so many brides going to Azul Sensatori. We should be getting some sort of offsite wedding coordinator fee, we do a fantastic job of planning and support hehe
After reading a few pages, I see a few things have changed.
Chong, Im so glad I told you about this blog and that you found your way around on here- isn't it amazing!!! Looks like the gazebo fabric price went up on you, booo!! That totally sux. Sometimes if you write a email asking for them to honor the price you heard it was before their may be somthing they can work out for you. OR maybe even inquire about it with the onsite? Maybe they will atleast give you a resort credit and you can use they credit for a massage or twards wedding day hair style or somthing ;0
Also, I remember trying to order drinks to room service and them saying no only beer, but we found an employee that was super nice and we talked to him about it and he said he would bring up drinks lol we threw $20 to bring 10 margaritas and 10 shots up and he did it :0, again TIPS GO ALOOOOOONG way. Believe me, he came back up a few times for orders lol.
Anyways, Im enjoying all your pics and so excited for upcoming brides. Who's next Megan??

Well, actually we had to send some of the guys tuxs back with guest that didn't stay more than 4days. And then they actually fd up the grooms package so we didn't even bother to care when we returned his tux because it was that or them refunding a sh*t load of money for our group. Long story short we got to mexico and it wasn't until a few days after when one of our groomsmen showed up with the grooms pants, WE DIDNT EVEN REALIZE HIS PANTS WEREN"T IN OUR PACKAGE. Thank god they contacted a person in our group that had not yet left for mexico to come pick up the grooms pants and bring them to us -

UGH, I know excatly what your feeling.., this was totally furstrating for me. I ended up using Caribe photography. They ended up doing a great job, so I do recommend them. however< i will say this, its nothing like claudia and some others that I have seen in comparison.
Is there anyone getting married same weekend as you that maybe you can work out a deal with for a good photographer? -

I wish I could help you somehow, what a mess!! People have no idea what it takes planning a dw and how your blood sweat and tears goes into this. So any negitive comments aren't needed or wanted. I would have your bridesmaid(or mom, someone close to you) help with calling your guest and ironing things out to eliminate hearing complaints. On the other end of it, I can see how some guest might be weary about it after all this, but maybe just send out a very positive email to everyone giving them a quick apology for the confusion and changes but be firm in saying, Our dream wedding in Mexico is still on and so is the party lol, and that we will contact you asap to fill you in on all the new details..
I hope things get easier for you sister, hang in there- pretty soon your gonna be sip'n some cocktails in the sand in mexicoooo and gonna be a MRS -

I don't want to scare anyone b/c the weather changes on a dime and who knows what it will be in two weeks? But you should also be prepared to discuss a backup plan with your onsite teams. Every day we were there, even on the sunny days, clouds and high winds rolled in around 4pm, sometimes with rain and sometimes not. We had to reschedule our romantic candlelit beach dinner twice b/c of it. It wasn't cold, just extremely windy. The skies usually cleared by 8pm to reveal starry nights.
I agree. It was VERY windy. And for us it was Very cold at night. BUT that was early February... so may be warmer now and in the next few weeks... I was very happy with my pashminas on the chairs that I provided .Everyone used them since it got cold. And the funny thing was that I thought the whole time that it was the worst purchase I made because "after" I figured everyone would be HOT and noone would need a pashmina. Turns out we actually "needed" them.
I good place for a cocktail party at as would be where I had my reception, at the gazebo, the buildings block the wind. BUT actually now that I think about it, there is super cool furniture, beds etc right outside the mojoito bar its super cool out there, they usually use it for entertainment and told us we couldn't have a reception/party there BUT there was a bride that got her way while we were there and it was moved because of rain. The location was VERY cool i think..

Sara- We didn't do a separate cocktail hour. The ceremony ended at about 4:30pm and we had pictures with everyone until about 5:00pm. The reception started at 6:30, so our guests had 1.5 hours by themselves. Most made use of the time by drinking in the Aquanox bar. You can also get little food bites there. Our thought was that at such a fabulous resort, our guests could take care of themselves for 1.5 hours.
I did not do a cocktail hour either. We send out pre-travel brochures to all our guest a month before departure letting them know our wedding day time line, and we just sent them to mojoito bar for an hour while we did pictures. We called it cocktail hour and they were the only ones in the bar at that time so it was basically the same thing and it was FREE.
Kinda looked like this:
WEDDING DAY
Amy & Kenny
02.13.10
5pm sunset ceremony / Right side of beach
6pm cocktail hour mojoito bar/connected to building A
7pm Private reception / Zocalo Gazebo
I did see 2 cocktail hours during my stay, and in my opinion it was cold near the beach and guest were anxious to get off the sand. They looked nice though, the staff does a great job of making these nice.Im sure there are other locations for this as well. They put high top tables up and white linen and have a tiki bar set up right there for you. Bathrooms are not far, but they are not on the beach. In my case, we didnt have the money to pay for it and wanted to take full advantage of all inclusive so we just sent them to a meeting place and it worked out wonderfully. Also, the breeze bar was open during those hours as well to send guest.
