Hi All,

 

My name is Issey, I got engaged November 14th, 2013 - a week before my birthday :) . I will be getting married April 16, 2014 at the Azul Fives Resort. I am hoping to meet more Azul Fives brides to discuss wedding plans, share ideas and pretty much just help each other. I found it really helpful reading some topics in this forum which have helped so much with my planning; but i just have not seen one dedicated to AZUL FIVES BRIDES! Woohoo!

 

Here is a picture of my ring. I chose a yellow sapphire because my fiance, Mike and I are Sagittarian.  I will continue to post my plans etc in hopes that more Azul Fives Brides will follow suit. :P

At Start of Wedding Preparation

 

So the first thing I did after we decided on a date and place was research resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico. I fell in love with the Karisma Hotel group just from looking at their wedding page ( I truly believe after this happened, that the image you put out is important for businesses - I just hope they will provide us as good a service as their website looks)

 

Second thing I did was register with destination weddings Travel (www.destinationweddings.com) to sort out room costs and also reserve our wedding date with Azul Fives.

 

It worked out to be $687 per person in a double deluxe room. I was also advised to attend the Karisma webinar by Pam, my wedding specialist at Destination Wedding Travel and was given 20% discount on food and drinks for my private event and a free room upgrade. I am hoping I can use the Sky Deck for my reception but booked the One room suite for my Fiance and I ($1882 each for 7 days) -  keeping my fingers crossed that we will get this upgrade


My Wedding Colors

 

- Magenta

- Lime Green

- Yellow

 

Using Photoshop, I created the shade of these colors that I wanted to ensure all my vendors used the exact color for the wedding using the HTML color code - see attached ( it has been a guide for me as well to ensure I am selecting the right color shade although as I have come to realize, color shades can still be tricky.

The Save the Date Cards

 

I wanted to make sure I incorporated something Mike and I have in common in the wedding, so I settled for our birth sign. In designing the Save the Date cards, I contacted Beth Roller of JoyfulPixels on www.etsy.com. She was very good at bringing my ideas to live with very little guidance. Price was also reasonable.

 

I used the date guests had to confirm their rooms as the RSVP date.

@@isymiyake2000 I think this wedding may show you a bit of what you can expect in the sky deck, the beach is a bit crowded, the hotel property beach is not too long to have a private spot, your best bet is the Sky Deck, at least for me, also the hotel has in the right side, when you loo at the ocean, a public beach and It gets full of workers, I live over there and each time I go, it is like that

@ do you have an idea where the reception was held and I see you do photography. Do you do videography as well. I have the following events planned for the week of the wedding and would love it all documented but concerned about costs, can you suggest the best way I can do this?

We are getting married at Azul Fives on January 11, 2015. I don't see a 2015 board so I thought I'd post here.

 

Anyone doing their reception in the garden with the pool deck as the dance floor? We were considering this. I have my heart set on a Sky Deck ceremony its beautiful and private.

 

isymiyake2000 I'm interested if most go with the signature collections or just creating your own package with Lomas too!

I wanted my wedding in the garden but considered having the reception at a pool deck but was informed by Stephanie my wedding co-coordinator that the pool deck is not an option at Azul Fives. hmmm...below was her email to me.....Have you started your planning?

Hello Isi,

 

The Pool Deck location is not available at Azul Fives. These are wedding locations at our other resorts Azul beach and Sensatori.

 

Thank you

@@isymiyake2000 - I have photos if you would like to see from one of the wedding coordinators.

 

She said we could have our reception in the garden and the dj/dancing is setup on the pool deck (that's what she called it) 

Its just the cement area surrounding the pool where the chairs would usually be.

 

I'm curious about the S'mores party you can have on the beach I saw someone else mention it. Not sure how much it cost?


I'm waiting to find out who my wedding coordinator will be. How far along are you with planning?

 

I'm so happy to have another bride to talk to who is getting married at Azul Fives :)

 

My personal email is kascheer57@yahoo.com if you want to chat or see the photos.

@@KScheer I would definitely love to see the pictures you have. I honestly feel like I have the worst wedding coordinator. I am not sure if she has been providing me with sufficient information - I barely even get a response and when, she apologizes for the delay due to having to play catch up..I am clueless

 

Here is what I found on the S'mores beach party but you will have to contact Azul Fives for pricing

 

S’MORES BEACH PARTY

Who can resist s’mores, made of toasted marshmallows sandwiched between chocolate bars and graham crackers? We’ll light a beach bonfire and provide the toasting sticks and ingredients for campfire fun. 

* Provides sticky-yet-memorable moments.

  • Beach bonfire, toasting sticks and ingredients!
    Contact us for current pricing information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Planning-wise, I am at the invitation stage. I am glad as well to have an Azul Fives brides to discuss with. My email is isymiyake_2000@yahoo,co.uk

 

I am having to plan a wedding in 5 months so, yeah CRAZY! But trying to pull it off. We had our guests RSVP by confirming their rooms by 01/09/14

 

I used wix.com in creating the website : www.mikeandisi.wix.com - that cost $0

 

I will share my invitations with you once I am finally done with them. I feel like I am learning as I go :-)


Oh yeah - I am also still researching a photographer and videography for the wedding but I have seen no good reviews for Caribe, even though their prices are reasonable - thought you might like to know :-)


sorry - meant www.mikeandisi.wix.com/weds

    • 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!
