Polly, you've got mail!

I have a special treat for you girls.

I just sent Nancy a long email.... I asked her tons of questions about the DJ and I asked for their website and references. QUOTE]

 

Please let us know when you hear back from Nancy. I sent Fabio the same email yesterday, I will let you know once I get an answer.

wow!!! there it is! we'll all be getting married there soon

Just booked our site visit to Azul Sensatori. We'll be staying there from 11/24 - 11/30. I will take lots of pictures for you girls!!! 4 more months - can't wait!!!!

So Nancy just wrote me back - but she didn't really answer any of my questions. Wondering if any of you ladies know the deal with the Sky Deck package. From Nancy's email, she said its just a ceremony location - not reception location, so why the huge fee?? Not sure if its worth paying $1500 to have a 20 min ceremony on the roof!

Nancy didn't specify - and its not on their site what are the other ceremony and reception venue options. Has anyone gotten that info?

* SKY deck ceremony location that accommodates up to 80 people

- Cocktail area with tables and umbrellas

- Ceremony location overlooking the Caribbean

- Lounge area with modular seating

* Signature SKY deck uniforms with white glove service

* SKY welcome cocktail served to all guests upon arrival

* SKY deck cold towel service for each guest during ceremony

* SKY deck fans placed on each seat

* Personalized printed ceremony program with SKY deck photo

* SKY webcam service featuring live internet broadcast of the ceremony

* Professional services of an onsite wedding coordinator

* Souvenir silver photo frame for the bride and groom

*The SKY Wedding Package is available as an add-on to the Free, Silver or Gold Wedding Package only. Location has a maximum capacity of 80 people and is only accessible by elevator and then one flight of stairs

Wow, I also agree that is a hefty fee for a ceremony. Hopefully you will find out more information. I doubt we'll truly know venue options until one of us does a site visit or gets married there!

Here is some info that I just received from Fabio, his answers are in blue. Hope you girls find this helpful.

1) Since we are not having a legal ceremony, just symbolic, could our Non-Denominational Minister perform the ceremony in English? Yes, All Symbolic ceremonies are performed in English. Yay

2) Do we give the DJ our own song list and have him play music from there? Does the DJ use turn-tables or does he simply press stop and play on our IPod? Do you have an approved list of DJ's that we could see? The DJ will MC your event, which means that he'll control the flow of your reception based on your request, he'll play your Ipod music list as you requests. He do not have a list of DJ's but I can get you a song list as your wedding date approaches.

3) We would like to have Grey Goose Vodka during the reception. It doesn't look like you have this brand of Vodka available. Could we purchase it on our own and bring it in for the reception? No, we'll make a special request and we'll provide you the Gray Goose Vodka, per bottle charge will apply.

5) Is champagne included in the open bar for the wedding? No What type/brand of champagne do you have available? Please see our current champagne & Wine list attached. Prices and availability is subject to change without notice.

The wine list is attached...

How funny!! You live in Dallas too and are getting married there the day before we are. Thanks for inviting me into the Sensatori thread. It makes me feel better about this whole long distance/wedding planning. Can't wait to hear what everyone has to say through the next months ahead.
