Don't get me wrong I am sure it is beautiful at Azul Beach, just think its a bit of an inconvienience more than anything! We arn't bothered about it being private or anything as having a massive AHR, but just seems a bit odd!?! Wow! Down to 1 month on your ticker, bet you are really excited!

They are very close, but not walking close.

Well it's probably good he had to leave that one behind, I love dogs but the one was sketchy for sure.

They are about 5 minutes apart in a car and a 10-15 minute walk down the beach. We walked down and took a stroll through AS b/c we were curious.

 

But I really, really just think they got mixed up. It would make no sense to send you to the smaller of the two resorts. AS has more restaurants and is better able to accommodate even small groups. AB only does one wedding a day b/c it's so small. It would be a huge inconvenience on AB for you to go there.

Their policy is that you have to get married and have your event at the resort you're staying at, no switching.

We are from UK, so only have our TA from Thomson UK here, so haven't got a WC or anything yet. I didn't think they would let you switch either & hoping its just a miss-communication between Thomson's. Your photo's are stunning BTW, looks like you had an amazing day!

P.s its not actually me getting married, its my sister-in-law! I am maid of honour/wedding planner/everything else! She is afraid of computers so I am trying to get as much info from your girls as I can for her!! x x

[taylorwd]

Thank you!!! Our day was wonderful in every way.

 

Ah, I guess I should have paid more attention to your username! You are one super nice MOH!! We should all be so lucky!

[Maidofhonour8]

Thanks taylorwd! Although if something goes wrong it will all be my fault lol!!!! Going to go back to the TA & get her to double check, I am convinced it must be a mix up! x

Hey Taylorwd! Finally got a chance to look through all your pictures...they are AMAZING! Andrew you did such a fantastic job and I am TOTALLY jealous

 

Taylorwd I don't remember if you talked about this earlier in the thread, and if you did I am SO SORRY, but remind me again: did you bring your own fabric for the chair ties/aisle runner and just pay the set-up fee, or did you rent them from the venue? I'm looking through my package trying to get a feel for our budget and I don't know what would be more cost-effective. And I know we've all heard 100 different quotes on prices for set-up, etc...so I'd love to hear directly from you if you don't mind

[*lyndsey*]

taylorwd your photos are amazing! it makes me even more excited!

what time are you all getting married? we are thinking of 3pm so we can go straight into our reception but whatever time we choose is going to be mega hot!x

Just wanted to check something our TA has said, we have booked a beach cermony @ Sensatori, with the gold wedding package, but she has said that we have to have the reception at Blue International restaurant @ Azul Beach?!? Thanks girls & happy planning!

I was going to say CONGRATS but then saw that you are the MOH lol, so instead! I'm with Taylorwd, I think they've made a mistake, that sounds ridic.

Yeah I totally agree. Sounds like a cut & paste from the wrong email for sure. If you are not having a private event, I bet you could have dinner at almost anywhere on the AS property!

Oh that is so nice of you!!! If you keep it simple then there should be no problems with you helping to organize.

Celina, you can see how my set up looks too. I went with the uncovered & no bows on the chairs and have larges vases of gladiolas at the base of the gazebo. I should have pictures posted in 4 weeks - Ahh crazy to say that!

Lyndsey, what month are you getting married in? The time of year matters with sunset times in mexico. I would google the sunset times for your date and make sure you will have enough sunlight for your ceremony. Also, receptions are 4 hours long and you would want to take pictures afterwards, so I would space out the ceremony from the reception for at least an hour.

I am doing a cocktail hour. With 38 people, at $10 pp, then its only $380 to have a 2 hour cocktail hour - plus it makes my wedding 2 extra hours! Everyone says how quickly it goes, so I wanted to prolong the day
