Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!


Recommended Posts

Murmel, do you know if the charge is $250 per event or a total of $250? For instance, is there one $250 charge for ceremony decorations and another $250 for the reception? I need to make sure we bring enough cash.

 

Thanks.

Jenny, as far as I know, it is one set up fee! Unless you have a ridiculous number of things, they are reasonable. I think there might be an additional fee to set up strings of light from the gazebo to the palm trees, but that's because it's a huge area and requires a lift to it! But if you are just doing lanterns or even just string lights on the gazebo it should be all in one fee.

 

Plus, when you go to your meeting with the onsite WC, you are free to negotiate the price. If they say it will be $250, tell them you only have $200 cash...see what happens! You might get lucky! 

 

I wish I remember how much we paid, I think it was about $150. We had them set up lanterns, menu cards, name cards, napkins wraps, centrepieces, guest signing table and it was for 63 guests. But I do realize they seem to just say $250 to most people now.

Do you work for karisma? or are u just a past bride? Your profile says you're a 2011 bride.

 

the way I see it...this is supposed to be a high rated resort.  I should not have to wait until I arrive to sort the details...also, I don't want to be traveling with lots of cash.

according to my coordinator the set up fees are per person per event.  So going by that- they can charge you a total of $500 for the set ups.

 

I spoke to another bride on one of the forums who purchased one of the memorable moments packages (approx. $3000) she also bright some of her own items and was charged an additional $250.  So judging by that...if the resort can find an excuse to charge you...they are going to do it.

I am a previous bride. I also continue to travel quite frequently and we almost always stay at Karisma resorts now because the food and service is the best we have found.

 

I understand the frustration about wanting to plan ahead. Do as you wish, I was just offering advice! I was just there in January and spoke with the on site WCs and they are just as helpful as they had been previously..

 

Regarding with travelling with cash. I agree, don't travel with a lot. So use that to your advantage, as I told Jenny, when you go for your meeting tell them you only brought so much...ie. $200 or $250.

 

All I can say is that almost all brides have gone through frustration and been upset with the planning/Miami based WC. Once they get to the resort it is wonderful!

If you get a Karisma certified travel agent, they should be able to get you a better rate than what you're quoting. I am getting married in June and my rates (which were last years rates since I've been engaged a long time, so it might have changed) are about 170 a night per person for a double room. I am using the Wright Travel Agency. They've been great to work with-- very helpful and accomodating and have given good advice throughout.

 

I went to a wedding @ Azul Fives a couple years ago and it was AMAZING- the food was great, customer service was awesome, and the bride was stress free the whole time. that's why i am getting married at Azul Sensatori.

 

Hope that helps!

 

t-minus 3 months!! ahhhh!

Well this is some disturbing news…. I'm definitely not going to pay $1000 to set up...

 

Out of all the brides who have been married at the Azul how many of you actually paid over $250 to do the set up?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
