OFFICIAL Azul Sensatori Thread

I have loved the service I have received since moving to this new team approach! Never longer than a day delay in getting a response!

So, I noticed other brides have different colored  round, paper laterns at the reception. Apparently Lomas does NOT offer this option, just WHITE laterns. I asked my wedding planner if I could bring my own, and this was her response " If you decide to bring some items probably the this will have an additional charge.  The onsite coordinator will help you, and they will give you this price at your arrival". 

Has anyone else experienced this?? This sounds like BS to me, I haven't seen anything about extra charges for your own decor, just outside vendors.

Please help!!

yes - this is the norm for Karisma resorts. They have been charging $5 (USD) per person for set up of decorations brought by the bride & groom. if the only thing you're bringing is the lanterns they may do it for a flat fee of $150 or so, depending on how many you brought. These fees go to the staff to set up for the wedding. Depending on how many people you have, plan on the $5 pp and take it in cash to your onsite meeting with your WC along with all of your decorations. Generally the onsite WC are more flexible than the Lomas planners in Miami.

Thanks for the advice Allie! 

I find it slightly ridiculous that they charge per person and not per item. Gives me something to think about

At Sensatori I talked to the onsite planners extensively about this at the BdR. For mid-large weddings for ALL events related to your wedding and all the decor- the max was $250 paid in cash for all set up of any decor... They do an amazing job and follow your vision to a tee.

If you only wanted a few items like favors and programs laid out- there is no charge, but all true set up that requires staffing will be charged a max of $250. Totally reasonable to me!

Here is some updated info given to me by our wedding designer:

 

• 
  Day Pass - $80 per adult/$40 per child: Includes food and beverage at the open guest areas on property, but does not include food & beverage for private events. These guests must be included in the private event counts. This pass allows offsite guests to stay for up to an 8 hour period. The pass must be purchased separately and paid onsite.

 

*All adult offsite guests will be required to present a photo id upon arrival; no exceptions.

**Day Pass charges can be waived if you host a 4 Hour Private Dinner Event.

***Offsite guests must leave once any private events are completed.

@@AllieH thanks for the setup info. Even with the cost of additional baggage and the setup fee it still seems less expensive to bring our own decorations!

@@kmk2016 that is good to learnit will still be a max of $250.

@@Ydolem - you are most welcome. and that's the conclusion that most Karisma brides come to. honestly though the settings are so beautiful, there's no need for thousands of dollars in decorations.

Hello everyone!

My name is Karla (BecomingaRiggio). Excited to join you ladies, I have been reading these posts for awhile but was busy helping my sister plan her wedding. She got married last weekend and so now I can focus on mine! Our date is booked, menu booked (although I want to change it). Right now I am trying to encourage our guests to book hotel and airfare. I feel like I cannot do more until I know a head count! Happy Planning to all! I look forward to being part of your community too!
