I am having my reception at Zavas Plaza. I was originally considering LED floating candles so they wouldn't blow out but the pool looks way too big! The LED floating candles are not cheap and I would need way too many too fill that pool. I am gonna skip out on the floating candles. I may just go with luminary bags to line pool to give it some extra lighting. Thanx for your help!

LOVE THIS!!!!

Hey Ladies, I am wondering if anyone who had a wedding outside brought floating candles for the pool.. I was planing to but don't want to waste money if they just blow out anyway.. Any thought?!?!?

Do they have to be this size?? I can't find white sheers anywhere in that size

Do they have to be this size?? I can't find white sheers anywhere in that size

Thank you for that info! I am going to buy and bring them with me!

Hey ladies, I wanted to know if anyone brought down their own christmas lights to decorate the Zavas Plaza. I think 50$ a set is expensive! I would like to bring my own but I am not sure how many and what type of lights to buy. If anyone can help please let me know.

Jenny- I am going to go with Factory 21 for the mugs as well! I just have to wait until May for a final head count. I don't want to over or under order. This is the most stressful part of planning the OOT bags...I guess they will have to wait!! We just bought a home in Staten Island. I work there as well for the DOE

Jen- I love love love the mugs!!! Thanx for the info! I was looking into putting some sort of cup inside my OOT bags. I also really think the Shutterfly account is a great idea! Lots of Luck with your future projects!!

OMG! Congratz to you!!! Please let us know how everything goes and post lots of pictures!!

Sorry it took so long to answer! Been a busy bee! I am getting married rite on the beach..I love the sky deck and was undecided but I had to go with my dream and that was to get married rite on the beach..What about you?

Gina, I am using Grace from Landmark Destination Weddings. She is the best thing that could ever happen to us! Truly a Saving Grace! I am using an outside photographer and was trying to avoid using and outside DJ .. We will see...

Hi Everyone! My name is Alyssa and I am getting married at the Azul Sensatori on July 12, 2013! I am having my ceremony on the beach and reception outside at Plaza Zavas. I can't believe I am involved with any blogs on-line...I am not a girl of my generation..I am not on Facebook or any other social media...I am not even sure I know what I am doing on this website..lol..I will say that threw reading these post you ladies have all help me TREMENDOUSLY!!! Thank you all for posting such useful information!! I have a wedding planner/travel agent here in New York that has been an amazing help in the process of booking my wedding. I don't even contact the Azul coordinators because any questions I have I ask her and she contacts them and gets back to me rite away. Anyone looking to book a DW in the NY area I will be more then happy to give you her information. She is the best thing that happened to my fiance and I!! I had planned on ordering all my decorations from Lomas however I also felt like they are a rip off!!! It looks like I will bring as much stuff as I can including chair bows, lanterns, seating cards ( I am using sand dollars), beach signs, sparklers, and maybe even table decorations..such as my own napkins, table runners and menus. MY BIGGEST concern is music..I planed on having a DJ for cocktails and the reception. I know the outside vendor fee is $800 and I already gave my free room to our photographer. Anyone who used a Lomas Dj or has any help please contact me... Also what did previous brides do about music for the ceremony??
