Thanks so much ladies.

I think we're going to skip hiring the wedding planner. 

Now, do you have any suggestions for TA's...preferrably a GI one so we can get the extra bonuses?

We are expecting approx. 60 guests.  We'd like the Sky Wedding, a private reception and are interested in June 4, 2011.   

I'm nervous that I'm wasting time trying to decide if we need a planner or not and may be losing out on our date, but we can't request a date until we have a TA (the application requets this info). 

The planner at Luxe said that it's difficult to get a response and info from the Karisma WC's because they handle so many weddings and it's easier for them to get the info since they've done weddings there before and can also get a faster response from them...that's the reason we're considering hiring them...but if it isn't necessary, I don't want to waste money on that service if the response time for them will be the same response time I'd receive myself.    

Hello ladies!

The reviews don't look too good for Luxe Destination Weddings so now I'm hesitant.  

Do you ladies recommend hiring a wedding planner although one is provided for us by Karisma or can a TA just handle it or is that an additional cost to have them contact the resort's WC regarding wedding details?

Thanks for your help

Hello Ladies,

We have decided on Azul Sensatori...now the real planning begins.  

Has anyone used Luxe Destination Weddings?  We are considering hiring them as our travel agent and wedding planner.  However, I have read mixed reviews.  Any feedback will help.

Thanks

2. I would look at several of the packages. They have a free one now as well

3. I think Gi makes their money on a kick back from the resort but I didn't use them as My travel Agent

4. They have a bunch of private event packages - PM you email and I can send you the Banquet Kit - I am having a welcome party and a reception

5. For a vaugue group of pricing check out Lomas Travel. It's a good way to budget but then know you can custom anything

6. I would go to GI if you plan on using them as your travel agent. If you are using another travel agent go straight to a wedding consultant.

 

Congrats and WELCOME! This thread and ladies are the BEST

 

 

Thanks Maggie.  Wedding planning begins!

 

Hello Ladies!

I'm a newbie...this is my first post.  My fiance and I have had a tough time deciding on a location and date, but we are very interested in Azul Sensatori.  Not sure if you ladies can help, but I have a few questions...

1.  We are expecting approx. 50 to 60 guests, can we have a private reception at one of the restaurants (maybe Spoon or Zocalo) without incurring an extra fee? 

2.  When choosing the Sky Wedding, do we have to or should we also choose a silver or wedding package although we are interested in a private sit down dinner?

3.  Are the GI Vacation Consultants listed on the site really free of charge?

4.  Do they offer welcome parties/dinners and at what cost?  Will they just allow reservations for all of our guests at a restaurant one night?

5.  Anyone know the cost of center pieces for the tables, additional bouquets for bridesmaids, etc?

6.  For my initial contact requesting info on the resort, should I contact one of the GI consultants or the hotel directly?

Thanks so much!!!!
