Boycott El Dorado Royale & Karisma Resorts-UPDATE policy REVISED!

[Nrvsbride]

This is awesome news and I couldn't be any happier for all the EDR brides. Thank you to Tammy who always looks out for her brides and thank you to all the brides who stuck together and stood up for what they believed in. YAY!!

I am really surprised to hear about your experiance with El Dorado. I am due to have my wedding at Azul Beach and the coordinator made it very clear that we could not bring in an outside photographer...sorry to hear about your experiance.

I think many brides have steered away from Azul for that very reason.

If the policy is truly changed and they stay true to their word in other areas of the planning, I would be much more inclined to start sending friends down there for their weddings.

OMG..!! I must be dreaming. BLESS YOU TAMMY

This photography issue needed SERIOUS ATTENTION. I've been through way too much nonsense with this topic to have to deal with even more nonsense. I'm totally excited once again to be getting married at EDR . I really hope they keep their word. This is such great news, thanks so much.

See what happens when you (the collective "you") stand up for what you think it fair. Change can happen!

That's was exactly the problem. No outside photographers.

Has anyone confirmed this with their wedding coordinator yet? I checked yesterday and they hadn't changed it yet on the website.
Thanks!

I just checked after I posted and they have changed it!
