  1. Hi Tonya, It's included if you do a semi private dinner. This is usually at some of the restaurants and they're not completely private. I did pay per plate for the reception dinner and the cost depends on the meal you choose, it can be anywhere from $15 and upwards.
  2. We got 'free' fans on the skydeck for the guests to use. I didn't really see anyone using them. Mind you our day was very windy. Melissa
  3. For anyone that wants to make their own barefoot sandals, I posted a tutorial here! http://www.miloandben.com/barefoot-sandals/
  4. hey guys, I got a bunch of questions asking about the barefoot sandals so I posted a tutorial on how to make them! http://www.miloandben.com/barefoot-sandals/
  5. lol clearly I was having computer problems as it wasn't showing me the quoted message... yes $800 although I got married just as they increased them so I paid the old price of $500
  6. Hey Kathy, I think you're talking to me? Thanks! No, Doremixx is an outside vendor and you will have to pay the fee. He's totally worth it and doesn't compare to the DJ the resort offers. Melissa
  7. oops forgot to mentions, if you click on my planning blog below you'll see pictures of where I had mine as well. Even tho plaza zavas is outdoors, it worked out great for us. Felt really private, no issues with music or partying.
  8. I wouldn't worry about it, it's not the rainy season. It called for rain on our wedding day and it didn't rain once the whole week! PS why does blue les caribe keep posting? I thought I saw those pics before..
  9. We had 4 guests book 4 days before departure. They ended up arriving a day later because the flights were booked. There were really no issues other than the annoyance of changing meal quantities etc. with the coordinator. Other than that we anticipated them coming and prepared extra favours, seating cards etc. We left the seating chart last min anticipating something like this. But there were really no problems!
  10. Actually, you're right, we got it because our travel agent was a registered GI consultant.
  11. We also had a free cocktail hour. It was part of the free sweet wedding package and probably in the others as well. You might want to ask for the packages or download them from the website. It does include appetizers and a signature drink. We didn't get to eat anything but the guests said the food was delicious.
  12. Yes, we did create that. We sat down one afternoon and started dooling! It came out well she did! she was more than awesome. haha, thanks for the compliment! something tells me I might over the top with a baby shower or kid's party
  13. It depends, I saw them at the Spoons restaurant one night but I think they have them go around the resort once a week. You can try but something tells me they would say no as they have to clear it with the coordinators.
  14. I felt the same way... I was really disappointed at all the extra costs but let me tell you that once I got there and saw how the wedding came together it was all worth! don't let that put a damper on your planning process
  15. I KNOW It's so dumb... It's $400 to get a mariachi band for 45 mins at the Barcelo............... that's $1100 less!
  16. I had the same experience. I was so upset I couldn't get the mariachis, but I couldn't and didnt want to pay the money. It honestly ridiculous
  17. Having seen other semi private weddings and having had a private of my own I would say totally go for the private. Plaza Zavaz is amazing. You don't need to worry about renting a dance floor, etc. Its your wedding and it should totally feel like you're the most important people! Something to think about.
  18. No, it is not a fair price. You can get the same size piñata elsewhere for $50. I almost did this but you risk delivery, timelines, quality etc. It wasn't worth it for me. It was filled with all sorts of delicious Mexican candy. I ordered it through my TA Elizabeth Riff. It was a huge hit, people loved it!
  19. thanks! I don't have a pricelist but he charges $800 for 5 hrs (same price for less time). They were amazing!
  20. Hi ladies, photographer just did a post of all the wedding photos! http://sarawilde.com/2012/04/melissa-tom-married-azul-sensatori-mexico/ trash the dress to come.
