Thank you ladies for all your input! I'm glad both of your weddings went well! 

 

We have 50 people coming and we don't know how close everyone's rooms will be (the resort is completely full the day we get there due to a travel agent convention). Did you guys have some sort of plan so all your guests knew how to contact each other? I'm just planning on handing out a room guide so everyone can exchange room numbers, but I don't really know how else it'll work. I'm assuming most people won't buy the wifi so they can stay disconnected. Some guests are just nervous they won't find each other easily. 

 

Also, are there any must try restaurants? They all look amazing. If we're staying on the Dorado side, are we still allowed to make reservations? If so, did you just call when you arrived and reserved the specific restaurants you wanted for the week? 

 

Thank you so much!! 6 days till we leave. WOOHOO!

 

It is a large resort, but you will find each other. Lol. Few ideas- love the room list idea. Connect with people before they head down and suggest a meet and greet spot. That way most people can come out to one spot and see who is there and connect. You can suggest having a central meeting spot once a day for a drink. And don't forget it is a hotel...so guests can always call the front desk and ask to be connected to "'John Smith's" room.

 

I personally LOVE both the Italian restaurants on site. Try to visit one at least!

 

Have an amazing trip and wedding!

@@Ydolem how do we look at your gallery ?? Lol this site confuses me still

To view someone's photos in their gallery....

1) click on their profile name

2) once their profile comes up, along the top by their name are a bunch of small grey tabs...about in the middle you'll see "Gallery".

3) click on "gallery" and their photos will come up

@@reidbride2015

How many guests are you planning for? There are many reception locations, but it depends on your party size. Check out the first page of this thread. I have posted photos with the names/locations of reception sites (as well as size limitations).

 

For a large group, if Zavas Plaza is booked, I would likely choose the yoga palapa/beach location next. However if your group is 40 people or less, I love the Zocolo Al Fresco (it's the patio portion on the back of the Mexican restaurant. Sheltered, private, beautiful ocean view. Close to bathrooms, bar.

Agreed, although it's random (I've seen a 5 yr old kid get the red light after his parents both got green), I do believe there is a way for the officer to make it go red if they need to check you. But that may be the conspiracy theorist in me!

Hee hee. There is some truth in that. Customs officers ALWAYS have the right to inspect your bags.(and if they want to inspect you, they will ask to see your bags, even if you haven't pushed the button at all) The green/red light is just a way to have random searches otherwise. So if you are bringing a ton of stuff or the customs officers think there is something they want to look at, they will.

Bridal roll call has been updated! Happy planning everyone  http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/72018-official-azul-sensatori-thread/page-2

Hi ladies-

 

Is anyone doing any type of group activities? Most of my guests arrive on Thanksgiving which leaves us all day Friday. We have the rehearsal dinner that evening but would like to do something fun with everyone that day. Does anyone have any ideas? Some of the excursions are a bit time consuming. 

 

Thanks!

- Invite your guests to all play volleyball, soccer, bocce ball, etc. .

- Get everyone together for a white night and meet up at one of the resort bars after the rehearsal dinner.

- Arrange a photo scavenger hunt....everyone brings their digital camera/iphone, you have a list of things to find on the resort. Ideas: photo of someone riding a bike, swimming in the pool, a wooden lounge chair, a bird, a pink/white/yellow flower, iguana, resort golf cart, photo with a bartender, a reed roof, a hammock, a white gazebo, a Peso coin, etc. (there are lots of great lists online) Give your guests/teams 30/45 minutes and then meet back up at a bar to compare photos and adventure stories!

@ebiggie-

Sometimes you may have to look at different options/websites vs. just your travel agent. Try Funjetvacations, Apple vacations, Sunwing vacations , Westjet vacations, Air Canada vacations, itravel2000, to see if they have rooms available. You can then book those rooms through that site, and organize a separate flight and transfers.

 

Good luck!

Thanks so much! You have so much information on everything DW related

 

Oh wow! I'd love to be able to bring my bouquet back. I didn't think this was an option

Technically, you are NOT allowed to bring back fresh flowers from Mexico. Anything organic (food, plant , etc) is not suppose to cross the borders. Just be aware of that. (If they are fake flowers, not an issue)

Does anyone know about how many bartenders and waiters there are at the reception?  I am getting together my tip envelopes and want to have a better idea.  We are having 39 guests at our reception and it will be at the Tucanes bar. 

 

/quote]  

Tipping is really such a personal choice. So really it's the thought that counts. I believe there is usually only one bartender (for a group under 40-45). Then it was usually about one waiter per 10 guests , if I remember correctly. There are usually a few extra staff running around cleaning, getting other staff items, etc.

Hi I know this is rare but I'm a guy on this site my fiancé  and I are getting married at the EDR also, We really our wedding is at the Generations, but all of our guest are staying at the EDR or the Casitias.  I was on this site looking a pre travel letter to use for our guest. Best of luck. We have been stalking the weather also. If you have a good templet for a pre travel letter I would love to see it.

 

Welcome! I got married at Azul Sensatori, but here is a link to my pre-travel brochure. Most of the information would be the same. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/58175-pre-travel-brochure-for-mayan-riveriacancun-using-word-photos-now-added-on-page-2/

Sorry ladies I was a bit occupied with my little one! I have updated the Bridal roll call!

 

I read on another thread that brides were having their check in wedding favors confiscated at the airport. anyone have that problem? I'm bringing tumblers and welcome bags and need to check them in because there's no way i can bring them all on as carry on

It is unlikely you will lose anything. Please read this thread for more info about the customs regulations: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/4239-customs-in-mexico-declaring-wedding-stuff/

 

did any past brides who had photographers fly in from their hometown have any problems? if yes any details on what the problems the photographers encountered?

We brought one with us from Toronto. No issues at all!

 

Hi to all! I hope my question is not been answered or asked in the past week but I have been out of country for 8 days on vacation and just getting back to the wedding planning.
Any brides that had their wedding or is going to have their ceremony on the skydeck, do you have your reception on the skydeck after or elsewhere?


Carrie

Ceremony and cocktail receptions only on the SkyDeck. You can find more info on the Official thread: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/72018-official-azul-sensatori-thread/

 

Hi all ,

Just wondering if anyone has tried to negotiate any of the prices with your wedding coordinator group ? I just purchased a memorable moments ceremony package for our wedding in may , to the tune of 2900 which is fine because it's chock full of beautiful! But there are only 24 chairs, my group contains 88 people , I was thinking of getting white garden chairs for the extras , but they're 15.00 a chair ! I just think that's crazy my best friend just got married and had the same chairs and they were 4.75 a chair. I'm definitely a bargain hunter , is there anyone else out there that feels the same and if I should even bother trying to get a better deal?

Thanks !!!

Chairs for your ceremony (no matter how many guests) is included in your package. You just have to inform them of the number of guests- however this is for the plain white fold out chairs. (see the official thread for a photo).

As well, if you are hosting a private dinner, the white plain chairs will be offered free of cost. (my guess is that the chairs suggest for the 'glamor' package rather are the Chivas chairs, or have special chair covers on them)

 

What type of fabric is everyone having their bridesmaids wear for their dresses? I want my bridesmaids to wear all the same fabric but I do not want them to wear a fabric that does not breath and they end up not looking very good because they are drenched in sweat. What fabrics has everyone used especially for the brides that have had weddings on the sky deck?

 

-Carrie

My girls wore super simple sun dresses (cotton). But we also wanted a casual flair!

Ohhhh I must go back and look! They must have done one recently for Sensatori!!! Love it!

 

Please note- that your from home photographer should look into getting a work visa to shoot your wedding. Most get away with working in Mexico shooting weddings like this without a problem- but others have has issues and the LAST place I would want to break the law would be Mexico and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened! I had originally planned to have a from home photographer shoot our wedding but ended up going with a local- this was one of the reasons. Too risky. (Room and board is considered payment so just because cash isn't being exchanged they would still legally require a work visa)

I can appreciate your concern for bringing in a photographer from home. However, it happens on a daily basis especially down along the Mayan coast. I have never heard of any issues for the photographers.

 

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum. What an incredible resource we have here!!

 

 

I'm also wondering if there is an updated list of Feb 2015 brides that we have access to?

 

Thanks so much ladies!!

Kendra

 

Updated bridal roll call is on the Official thread: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/72018-official-azul-sensatori-thread/page-2

 

 

Hello! For those who have been to the Azul Senatori before, how did you get there from the Cancun airport? Thanks!

Check and see if the transfer is included in your package. If not, there are multiple companies to book with for transfers. (Lomas, American Transfers, etc.) You can look up Cancun transfers online. It is suggested to book your transfer ahead of time with a company rather than finding a taxi when you arrive.

Girls,

I know many of us have asked questions regarding lighting and I do not mean to repeat what has been said multiple times, I just want to ask again if anyone of you know that a string of bulbs can be set up outside of the gazebo, instead of the sting of bulbs being inside? perhaps hanging (or tied) from the roof (or pole) of the wooden gazebo to the trees that surround the area? I think someone said in the past this is not possible, but I want to make sure I am asking the same thing in order to be 100% sure. I would love to add the string of lights (bulbs) outside the gazebo, please see the pics I have attached what I mean, my Zavas pic is nothing done in photoshop lol so I just did what I could. Feedback is appreciated Thanks!Zavas lightig.pngadd lights to Zavas.gif

I don't believe it would be possible. The distance from the gazebo to the palm trees is quite far. And even if you had a string of lights long enough,..there are not enough trees around to create that visual effect you want.

 

They did have a set-up similar to this effect done on the beach. So perhaps that might be an option for you.

I have my wedding booked on May 3rd 2015, and i had my heart set on Plaza Zavas but its already booked... even through i tried to book it in March 2014

 

My dad is in a wheel chair and not all the areas are wheel chair accessible, do you guys have any advice on other areas? I really want outside.. we are having a Dj (hopefully, if thats not booked too) and I really want to have paper lanterns and fairy lights strung around.

 

Im just so sad cause i was set on that area.. they did give the option to change the date but Sunday May 3rd is what we have on the invitation, if it really comes to it, i guess we could change it to the Monday May 4th.

 

Thanks in advance ladies... you guys are awesome!

How many guests are you expecting? Going onto the beach with the wheelchair, while possible, will likely not be a great option for the comfort of your dad. I would recommend Zocalo, for about 40 people or less. There are piñatas hanging already, it's a great location, and would work for a wheelchair. The Zocalo terrace may work for you, but there is no structure to hang decor from other than Palm trees.

 

I do agree with the girls, the garden terrace/theatre is a great spot for your ceremony. However, it is only available for the ceremony...not dinner. You should also know the Sky deck does not have an elevator access to the top, so not an option for you. Sorry.

 

Take a look at the Official thread for photos of the sites, it might help you! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/72018-official-azul-sensatori-thread/

I read on trip advisor how all these people that stay there are getting free room upgrades when they check in.

how can I get my guests that come to my wedding to get free room upgrades?

I wish I knew of any tricks, but I don't. Sometimes it is return guests, sometimes they are redoing an area and move guests to better rooms as an apology, brides will usually be upgraded. But I don't think there is anything specific to do or ask for

Thank you so much!! So it's the travel home that I need to have receipts for?Another inquiry, I'm bringing my own DJ as a guest (he's a friend). He has the equipment that he needs (laptop and whatever that other box is called) minus a speaker!! Has anyone thought of this? Had to rent a speaker?

Yes, you can rent a speaker set up from the resort. I think it was $250??? , but not sure of the current cost. It also comes with a microphone. We rented the system and it was great.

Also please take the time to read this thread about customs:

http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/4239-customs-in-mexico-declaring-wedding-stuff/

 

I know I'm asking a ton of questions!! Lol Everytime I hit post, I think of something else!!!

For the ceremony, I want my kids to read a poem to their "to-be" Step-dad and also have someone read something in remembrance of my mom and his dad (both deceased). Does the resort limit the time of the ceremony? I have bridesmaids and groomsmen walking down to music, I'm coming down to music, etc.Thank God for you guys!!!! Getting answers from the WC is like contacting the President!!! Lol

You will have lots of time to add personal touches into the ceremony. The legal ceremony takes about 30minutes, while the ceremonial service takes about 20 mins. There is no set time limit, but remember you and your guests will be sitting in the sun...so be kind and don't add too much! When you get to the resort just advise the WC that you would like to add the poems, vows, etc to the ceremony. They will advise the minister and then you will be able to coordinate where in the ceremony this can occur. I know due to legal issues, if you are doing the legal service, they have to follow a strict order.

 

 

@@kmk2016, Why would they not allow sparklers?, i was planning on taking some with me. Thank you

As someone who works in aviation....please be aware sparklers fall under the explosives category!!! It is 100% ILLEGAL to fly with them. For your safely and well being, please leave them at home!

 

Cj1053- Congratulations! You look beautiful (and it was worth sweating, to look that fabulous!)

 

Tiffany- Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to read this thread: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/72018-official-azul-sensatori-thread/

It will help you with a bunch of your questions. Happy planning! In regards to Chinese lanterns, the paper ones to hang as decor are fine. If you refer to the floating ones, they are not allowed (this is because many of the buildings on the resort have reed roofs and there is a fear of catching things on fire).

@@AllieH Thank you for this information.  I will try to chat with her again.  Because she told me that since I am not staying on the Royale side that I would have to get ready on the Casitas side.  And any guests staying on the Royale side had to get ready at that spa.  So frustrating...

Nicki, I have stayed on both sides, and you and your guests are welcome everywhere on the Royale and Casitas sides. The exception is the Royale guests are not allowed to use the lounge chairs and beach beds on the Casitas side.

The spa even asks usually where you would like your appointment to be. So I don't believe what the WC is telling you to be correct.

Glad to be able to help.

 

Zavas Plaza is lovely, like I said it is really a personal choice! As for a cocktail reception, you could request to have it right on the beach beside the ceremony site. That's where they set up for my wedding. They just brought a few high top tables down on the sand and served drinks there. There should be photos on the first page of this forum with most of the locations to give you a better idea.

 

As for the guitars, and bongos, we brought them along with us. Some of our guests brought their own as well. (like I said, very musical bunch!)

 

DJ: That's wonderful news that they have confirmed with an email saying an outside DJ is allowed (with the vendor fee), I say go with the one you want! Listen to your gut...if it says DOREMIXX is the one for you, hire them.

 

Centerpieces: Great idea with the silk flowers! I am sure it will be lovely. (if you find the $60 bridemaids bouquets work for you in your budget, you could use those as the flowers as well!)

As for the details. Don't tell the Miami WC anything regarding the extra decor/plans. Just request the standard set up. Leave it at that! The local WCs are always expecting brides to bring their own items, so it is no surprise to them. (they do mulitple weddings every week...so they are more prepared then we are LOL)

 

SPA: Thanks for explaining the situation. So let me start with the massage issue first. Do you enjoy massages? If so, try to book it in. IF you and all your guests are at the resort the same time, I would suggest perhaps the day before the wedding to just give yourself a quiet break and time to enjoy the moment. If you are staying longer than some of your guests, perhaps do it after they are gone. (I think the 2 for 1 price, is meant if you wanted someone to join you...ie. hubby to be or your mom/sister)

 

Onto getting ready! So in my opinion, here's what I would do. (not sure what time the wedding is planned for, but I will pretend it's 4pm to run my scenerio)

930am Meet at Spoon restaurant for breakfast with all the girls (bridesmaids, sister, mom) But LADIES only...since the boys will hopefully be doing their own thing. This make the bridesmaids feel included and special.

1030am Back to room, get organized, etc.

11 am Go to the spa with your mom and sister. (I am assuming you, your mom and sister plan on getting hair and makeup done there) Don't bother with the bridal suite (since it is quite expensive and you'll be in chair being made up the whole time anyway) I would usually expect hair/makeup to take approximately 2-2.5 hours.

130pm Back to your room. Order room service lunch.

2-230pm Have all the bridesmaids come to your room to help you get dressed. This allows you time to spend with the girls and have photos done getting ready (if you choose) 

330pm WC likely come to the room with flowers, getting organized, etc.

345pm Head towards wedding location.

 

In this idea, after breakfast, the bridesmaids then have plenty of time to get ready in their rooms, or make appointments for the spa (if they choose). I would tell them there is a spa onsite, but I don't even know I would give them the prices. Since that would make me think you want them to go to the spa. If they ask why you're not all getting ready together, simply state there in not enough room, but you'll all be in your room at 2 pm ready to go. This allows you to enjoy their company but not stress about having enough room to all get ready. It would just be you changing into your dress.

 

Bridesmaids: You should really only have them accented or holding one item. So go with the corsage OR the umbrella OR the single flowers. http://www.weddingsbylomastravel.com/planning/Bouquets (hope this link works...scroll down you will see the prices. The $60 ones are under BOUQUETS- SPECIAL. You can also view the corsages here)

Hi ladies, I just booked my wedding for May 16, 2015 at EDR. Has anyone had a larger guest list? I would love to have the reception at Tucanes but I am not sure what the maximum amount of people we can have there.  I think we will have around 60-70 people.

 

Any advice on planning at wedding at EDR? Thank you!

Welcome and best wishes on planning your wedding! Try reading the Official EDR thread. It has lots of helpful tips and advice. It also helps to read wedding reviews to see how things flow and get ideas. Of course, if you have any questions, just ask!

HI Linaco80- Welcome and best wishes on planning your wedding! I hope I can answer your questions as best as possible.

 

Reception dinner:  It is really a personal choice where to host your reception. However a few things to keep in mind. First thing, unless you host your dinner in one of the ballrooms, all events MUST end by 11pm. This is due to noise restrictions from the resort regarding the other hotel guests.

But that doesn't mean your party ends at 11pm. Just move the party to the Mojoito lounge or another bar! When I got married we ended up under the big hut at the bottom of the main lobby stairs. But we had a very musical group with guitars, bongos and singers. NO one disturbed us, and the waiters even starting bringing us drinks from the Mojoito lounge (with tips of course  ).

I personally love the Alfresco location. Here are the bonuses in my opinion: privacy, close to toliets, lovely decor, ocean view, covered (which is a plus, if it rains- not need to move locations). But depending on your group size it may not be an option. (we had 63 guests and that was too many for Alfresco, so we had ours at Zavas Plaza.) That being said Zavas Plaza is beautiful, open air and if you and your guests like to dance, it allows for a lot of dancing!

 

DJs: I did not have a DJ, so I can't help much. Check out the wedding reviews, or ask on the Sensatori forum. There are quite a few active brides who have more experience in this department. Just double check with the WC about bringing in an outside DJ. Recently they had banned all outside DJs (vendor fee or not). I was told this was due to a number of brides hiring outside DJ's who just didn't show, and then the resort was blamed!

 

Centrepieces: If you plan on bringing your own decor- DO IT! As a rough estimate they suggest $5/person for set up, but this will depend largely on how much or little decor you have. AS well, it is usually a maximum charge of $250.****IMPORTANT: don't bother telling the Miami based WC your ideas. They are meant to be salespeople and try to upgrade where possible. You will deal with the local WC once you arrive for your wedding in regards to the set up. Please also be aware this is a CASH deal. The local WC will pay the staff with the cash you give them to set up your extra decor (items you bring).

In regards to bringing decor....please read this forum: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/4239-customs-in-mexico-declaring-wedding-stuff/  It will hopefully explain what you can and cannot bring with you. For the most part you can bring as much decor with you as you like, as long as you don't sell it!

Just to give you an idea, I brought lanterns, place cards, menus, napkin wraps, centerpieces, candles and a guest book.

 

SPA: With having 6 bridesmaids (party!!!  ) and not wanting them to feel like they have to use the spa for their hair/makeup, I don't think I would bother with the bridal suite. As well, it's been a while since I saw it, but I really don't think it would be big enough to accomodate you all. I would suggest just having them all in your room, and when you have to go to the spa to get your hair done (if you are) they can finish getting ready.

I had a blast getting ready in my room, plus a few other girlfriends (who were not in the bridal party) felt welcome to drop by for a quick visit...which was super nice! The resort (capacity dependant- should offer a free room for the groom to get ready in the day of the wedding. So you should have your room to yourself.)

-In regards to your other question, when to make a spa appointment. Do you mean for a relaxing massage for yourself/hubby? (didn't quite understand)

 

Bridesmaids: Corsages are becoming more popular! So if you like the idea, go for it! However, if this is your way of trying to save pennies but not happy, try thinking outside the box. The resort does offer some smaller bridesmaid bouquets for as little as $60 each.

What about Chinese paper umbrella for the girls, or make artifical bouquets at home and bring them with you. Paper flowers: http://www.hgtv.com/handmade/how-to-make-paper-flowers-for-a-wedding-bouquet/index.html. Really cute clutches/purses.

 

Ceremony: I did not do a sand ceremony. Lots of girls find the frame/bottles they like and bring them along. Just be aware....you should not use the beach sand!!! (customs regulations will not allow you to bring home sand from Mexico) So be sure to buy sand (colored or plain) to use in the sand ceremony. It is a very cute idea! Be sure to bring some spare makeup sponges along to stuff at the top of the frame/bottle. That way when you fly home, it will hopefully not shift. (you should take it in your carry on for the reason!)

Hi ladies! Just wanted some advice...I wanted to sing a sweet song to my hubby -to -be at our wedding...I wanted to do a sky wedding with reception at zavaz. I originally wanted to sing it walking up the aisle for our ceremony but wasn't sure if the acoustics at the sky deck would be adequate with all the wind? Not sure if there is a good sounds system up there? 

 

Or if not, maybe right before our first dance? We would walk in and I start to sing to him...

 

Thanks for you all your help !!

 

What a special idea! I think the acoustics will be fine on the sky deck. But if you are like most brides (myself included) , I was so nervous walking down the aisle, I can't imagine trying to keep it together enough to sing! Lol As well, I think you should use a mic so that everyone can hear... Especially your hubby to be. The mics are wireless, so you should be able to carry it with you.

 

 

Hi everyone!

 

For those getting married at Plaza Zavaz, are you ordering additional lighting? I'm worried it will be too dark after 9pm. Our reception is from 7-11pm.

 

If I read your dates correctly, you are getting married June 25? First thing to check is sundown...which will be about 730. So it will still be dusk/light for a while. Most brides find there is enough ambient lighting to see no problem. The lights that brides use are just for decor. (Lanterns, Xmas string lights, candles, etc)

Hi there!! We are in the early stages of planning a June 2015 wedding. I don't think we are going to have a dance after the reception as we have a small party and really, none of them, besides myself are "dancers". I've seen some brides write that they moved on to the Mojito lounge after dinner. Thoughts? Anyone else not having a dance?

Are you doing a private dinner or using the free semi-private dinner? If you're doing a private dinner, 4 hours is a lot of time for just a meal. And since you are paying for the extra staff, it would be unfortunate not to use it. Perhaps you could plan some after dinner entertainment? If you're doing the semi-private dinner in Spoon, then heading to the Mojioto lounge is a great choice. Plus there are live musicians every night. So you might even be able to tip the band a few bucks and have them play a "first dance" tune if you choose. As well, there is usually a musician playing at the adult swim up bar from 6-9pm- very calming (saxophone, or guitar usually).

 

Be sure to check out the Official thread- link below in my signature for more helpful tips.

 

so im having a hard time planning out after the ceremony, are most people doing a cocktail hour and then the reception? or is a cocktail hour kinda included in with the private reception. me and my FI arent seeing each other before the ceremony, so i definitely want to do some pictures after the ceremony. help help haha

The cocktail parties which are a nice touch, especially if you have one free to use, are not necessary. They are NOT included if you host a private event. It is a separate billing item. Your guests will easily find somewhere for a drink to relax before dinner. I think it's a great idea to suggest one bar, that way once you're done your photos you might be able to join your guests for a drink. If you have it in your budget you could always add one if you choose.

**Make sure to ask for your custom cocktail after the ceremony! It's included free!!! We had the staff serve all our guests mojiotos right after the ceremony. As soon as we walked back up the aisle, there were a few waiters with trays of drinks waiting for everyone. That's a classy touch which doesn't cost you a cent!

@@murmel... I know it's here somewhere but now I can't find it!!! Do you have the dimensions of the new white gazebo on the sky deck? I'm sure they were here... Did they get removed? For what it's worth- I didn't measure it when there for the BDR cause I knew it was somewhere in the forum, but I did measure the aisle length up there in case anyone needs it for timing of music etc... It's 104ft from the entrance to the middle of the gazebo. (Or 94 ft if you only want to walk to the front of the gazebo).

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, I don't have the new dimensions of the white Sky gazebo. It is very similar in size to the old one, although possibly a bit shorter. Thanks for the aisle length, I will add that to the list!

I'm having such bad luck with the wedding coordinator on Miami. this is the second one I requested and she is just the same as the first one. takes her 2-3 days to reply. my wedding is 6 months away and I just got confirmation on reception location and time. I still don't have information on dj, decorations, etc. if I ask her something she sends md a link instead of helpng guide me. isn't there job to let us know what comes standard and ask if that's ok or if we want something different let them know. she doesn't ever inform me what is "standard" I have to ask her specifically and then it takes 2-3 days to get answers. they does this day in and day out but yet I feel like pulling teeth to get answers from them, more like I'm the coordinator than she is. I've spoken to her once and addressed my concern, I just had to call in again bc having heard back from her. I don't want them to take it out on my complaints and ruin my wedding but I'm so fed up with the poor lack of customer service. any other brides have this problem.

It can be very frustrating, especially for those of us that are type A (me included lol). So not to downplay it, but 2-3 days for a response is stellar! Most brides go about 4-7 days. Take your time when you put your email together, and make it point form. This way it's easier for the WC to answer questions and not miss something. I have also heard that the online chat or phoning helps sometimes. This is the most difficult part of planning, but know the on site WC are amazing ( and will fix any small issues once you get there).

is anyone else having a problem with the wedding coordinators in Miami? This is the second coordinator I requested that does not reply to email in timely manner. I had the same issue with the first one who did not reply to email in timely manner and was not able to leave voice messages.

 

My wedding is in 6 months, and I do not have a dinner reception location or time confirmed yet because she does not return emails. I cant even plan anything because she doesn't return email answering the questions I sent her.  I sent her email 2 days ago and still no reply. Its a bit frustrating because I can't even send out my invitations to my guest yet because she has not confirmed anything for me. I read the reviews and it says they are great to work with but so far has not been very helpful/pleasant.

 

Anyone else have these similar situations?

I don't think anyone has had a good experience with the Miami coordinators. It has been frustrating for everyone and the company knows it, but doesn't seem to change it. ( It is the on site wedding coordinators that everyone raves about)

 

Anyway, a few suggestions:

1) most of the Miami coordinators take about a week to respond to emails (from my experience and other brides I talk to)

2) to get a faster response, try to web session them or call! And once you make a personally connection, they seem to respond faster....since takes a while though. Lol

I am not sure if i asked this before but do you girls know if we can bring our own sparklers? (checked in bags)?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! It has nothing to do with Mexican customs, it is ILLEGAL (and extremely dangerous) to fly with sparklers. They fall into the same category as fireworks!!!
