Great questions. I'm buying my photographers dinner but I don't have anywhere to seat them.

BTW, How many tables did you end up with? We have exactly 50 guests (and we're doing 7 tables of 7 or 8)

Also for tipping, anyone care to share (or you can PM me) how much and to whom you tipped while down there?

I've worked at Azul resorts several times (photo/video) and they always find a table for us that is separate from the wedding party seating.

Hey!! 

 

I have 50 including us....so we are going to do a head table, and have 5 tables of 8. 

What are we going to do??  LOL

 

Wait...what about the DJ?  are you supposed to feed him too? 

I am having a freak out moment...I had a lot of stuff that I was working on at work, on my computer, and supplies to get the projects done, and this damn strike is still going strong!!!  (it is totally sucking, between getting paid half our income each, and hostile students, I am at my wits end).

 

 

My guests keep texting/emailing with "5 more weeks....can you belive it?" and I started to freak, because no, I can't believe it, I still like it better when I say its still over a month away, sounds longer.

I'm sorry you're feeling the pressure as well. Just keep plugging away and start letting go of things that aren't critical (I should take my own advice, I know).

 

I get daily updates with the countdown "39 days to go!" and "next month!" and as excited as I am, I'm stressed. I blame work b/c I promised myself I wouldn't let this process get the best of me. But there's of course still a lot to do and I'm out of town for work a lot in the next month. I leave for LA on October 4th for work so I've set that as our deadline. Once I get back, we have 2 days to pack and wrap things up!

 

Oh and I made my final payment today.

 Yes, welcome back! I was thinking of you!!! It sounds like you had an amazing wedding, yay!! I'll be married on the sky deck too, I love it up there. So you never needed the christmas lights for Zavas Plaza, huh? Were they good about moving all your other decor inside I hope. Crossing my fingers for less humitdy in 5 weeks.

For those of you who have brought your own tulle, I have been quoted by the WC as saying the panels are 12 m x 1.5 m, which when I calculate it, comes to aprox.  I have found bolts of tulle at Michael's of all places ($34.99 plus a 50% off coupon = great deal) that are 1.3 m x 27.4 m.  It would appear that this would be enough for 2 panels of material on the gazebo, but my question is:  I am not sure exactly how I want the tulle yet (I know I don't like the candy cane wrap look though) so if anyone has any insight into how they did their decorating and how much they brought that would be great.  I am just wondering if I should bring down 2 bolts just to be safe

We included our photographer (but we had flown him down with us).  I know the resort has small tables, so I am sure they can set something up on the side if you want.

If you are hiring a DJ, I would think you are suppose to offer them dinner.

 

I am sorry you are having a freak out moment. Sit down for 10 minutes and make a list, critical and not critical. Be realistic and slowly work your way through your list. 5 weeks, as crazy close as it may seem is still lots of room to finish up details! You can do it!  And here's hoping the strike ends soon! Stay safe!

Nervewracking and exciting all in the same moment! Make sure to find a little you time, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy all your hard work. Hope all your travels go well, and perhaps you can take small projects to the hotels with you. Good luck!

Hey guys,

 

We're welcoming children to come to the resort with our guests, but we aren't allowing children at the ceremony/reception. Has anyone else ordered babysitting services from Azul Sensatori? Any idea how I would go about setting that up?

 

Also, for your hair appointments, did you set it up with the resort directly, or through your wedding coordinator.

 

Thanks ladies!

You c an set up babysitting service directly through the kids club. However maximum number of children per sitter was 3. A few of our guests used their services and were quite pleased. And unfortunately I don't remember the cost.

 

Depending on the age of the kids, they could likely just be entertained by the kids club. I think 5 years or older they could attend without a parent. I think during the day it ran from 9am til 4pm. Then the parents would take the kids to feed them and then by 7pm to 9:30pm they were back at the kids club...watching the daily entertainment, watching a movie, playing games. The parents loved it, since they would quickly run to the buffet restaurant with the kids, and then go for a nice dinner alone after.
