Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

Maggie.....We are assigned to Cecile. We have only been booked for about 2 weeks and have had minimal contact with her. The few emails I have sent to her have been responded to in 24 hrs or less. She has been very prompt! I had some questions about the photographer issue and she wasn't 100% accurate with her response and our TA had to push the question up to Fabio for a solid answer.

Hope this helps!

Thank you SOOOOO much!!! We really did have a blast taking the pictures!!!

Isn't that shady?!?!?!?!? And yes, I understand being busy, but being in sales, I ALWAYS respond to my clients...You can't me you don't have 5 minutes to respond to emails?!?!?

No, unfortunately she does not live near me.

UPDATE! However, I sent her a stern, but nice email...come to find out she has been going through a divorce. I am glad she got back to me and is supposedly shipping my Garmin today and getting her passport on Wednesday...YIKES!!!! 8 weeks out! But thanks sooo much for all your advice...I will keep you posted. I just hope she keeps her word, because I really do love her work!! And she seemed so professional in NOLA for my e pics....

Thank you Chong! I hope it is worth it too...oh the joys of a destination wedding! I think you summed it up perfectly...I hope it is all worth this! haha But I def think it will be!!!

EXACTLY!! Like, "hi I am traveling for business and will respond on June 1st." or whatever! I totally agree...and yes, def will deduct the Garmin from final payment!!

Let me know what you find out about this...I am getting nervous about hurricanes

Thanks dear!!! Our 2 best friends got married at the columns...we were both in the wedding. So, it is kind of precious to us!

Thank you and welcome back!

We are looking at the Sky Lofts too!! Either those or the Aria!!!

Yay! Congrats!!!! When I was first looking into AS, Fabio helped me a ton! I do not know what his position is, but he always answered my questions quickly. Hope this helps!

Trust me, you will have 1 million more times where you question your location, resort, etc etc etc. It's natural! Just do your research and normally you figure out everything will be fine. I have heard the water is very blue...not brown at all!

hahaha that's crazy!!!!

hahaha EVERYONE that I have heard on here has had a FABULOUS wedding at AS. I am getting married at a different resort and have had some of the same complaints. I think it's just destination weddings in general, the resorts being super busy, and many other reasons! That's why we have to stick together!

To the thefuturemrslutz:

 

You ladies on this forum RAWK!!! I was over here starting to go insane and obsess about the most minor details, which is normally not even in my character. :-/ Last night I almost had a minor meltdown because I was reading the earlier threads and just felt dumb for booking. I talked to my FH and he told me to chill out and focus on the reason for it all. While I know he was totally right, I just want it all to be perfect for us, just as I'm sure every other lady on her does. I just appreciate the support because no one in my "non-forum" life seems to get it. The option of picking a wedding site, sit-unseen can just be plain nerve racking. Grrr..... Thank you for your support!!!

I wouldn't worry lol....I am 25 days out from leaving and have not been asked for a dime!

Sara, this is the best one I have, but it sums up the beach options pretty well. You can see both the regular gazebo and the palapa gazebo with the lifeguard tower behind it. We were married on the area in front of the bridge.

 

We purchased the insurance (including all my guests) through my TA. I thought it was more a travel insurance than wedding insurance. Like if your flight gets delayed and don't make it to the resort on the day you have already pay for it.. then you get money back for the night that you didn't stay, etc. It was only $39.99 per person. We thought it was well worth the purchase. My TA send me the insurance description. Since I am just at the end of hurricane season, I wanted to be safe.

I have Tiffany also. She's been very responsive to all my questions and been very helpful. I think it helps to call her and talk to her over the phone rather than exchanging emails all the time.

I started off with Tiffany and have been dealing with Cecile lately, I think she is great. She gets back to you quickly and addresses all my questions. I had talked with Tiffany once or twice and find Cecile to be much faster with her responses and much more thorough, she would email me in between just to see if she could help or if I had any. As of now, my TA seems to be handling all the communications with her, but as far as I'm concerned Cecile has been very helpful.

Thanks Wendy! I think I will probably end up deciding once I get down there.
