Ladies who have gotten married, Question: For the Reception package - What Private Banquet package did you get? Did you like it? Did it come with the tables and chairs and such or did you have to rent those seperate?

I tried to send you a private message to see what kind of rates they're offering you but it says you're not accepting them Would you send me a message if you're able to? I'd like to have SOME sort of bargaining power, if possible. Sorry about that...My settings must be off email me at [email protected] I will tell you what I know!

Rest assured that I read the thread every day, I just don't always post (mostly because I'm a lazy beeyotch). I heard from my TA today. Azul Beach will definitely have construction during my stay. They're starting in August. They will be upgrading all of the Superior rooms, and construction will be happening most of the day. My TA recommends me moving resorts (I agree), and Karisma has been kind enough to offer me a free candlelit dinner on the beach or a free couples massage if I move to Azul Sensatori. Never mind the fact that I would have had a free candlelit dinner anyway with my wedding package. No other perks would be offered. I'm honestly at a loss for words right now. I do NOT want to start the search all over from square one, but at the same time I'm so angry about the situation and don't want to keep my wedding at a Karisma property because I hate the way they've dealt with this situation. Any advice? I need wisdom! I am not sure if this is the right advice but I bet they are banking on you not wanting to start over. I would see if you can get another % off your group rate or a % off your private events and play hardball a little. Yeah you run the risk of having to start all over again but from the webinar I was just on for the Karisma properties they seem to be very agressive in getting folks to Azul Sensatori. Right now my TA is waiting for then to come back with a new group offer because I threatened to go to my Back-up resort. I am not sure what the right thing to do is here. Understand your fustration though...That is not cool! I have been in limbo for a month now trying to get the best deal. Sorry your having to go thru this! Sending positive vibes your way for the right solution!

Good call on the Marriage license! I think that is wise!

Welcome!!! Makenzie! We Houston Girls stick together! Leigh - HAVE A FABULOUS TIME!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics!! I am one step closer to signing a contract with Azul Sensatori! Talked to the Travel Agent for about an hour yesterday and I think we are going to get the quote we want from her by the end of the week!

Congrats and Welcome! There is a ton of info on this forum!

LOVE them! I might have to steal that idea!

During the webinar they talked more about the food in general. Nothing particular but they interviewed the chef and they talked about the wine a TON and the alcohol choices. Also ladies I am working on something in writing about the donkey for you! I emailed the peeps that put on the webinar to see if i can get you something.

This forum is awesome. you are going to find so many great ideas and information

LOVE them! Where did you order?

Side note: On the webinar they even said you can rent the donkey under several circumstances. It didn't have to be the cocktail hour and they said to rent just the donkey for an hour was $100

Quote: Originally Posted by bigboponthebeach Maggie, would you mind forwarding this info to me in writing, please? I really wanted to get the donkey and cigar gentleman for FI as a surprise. He got all excited about the donkey when we first booked and when I told him the donkey was no more he looked somewhat boyishly sad. ;-) If you could send this to me, I'd really appreciate it! Quote: Originally Posted by rkf1046 Please send to me! I was told by Kiara two weeks ago or so it was no longer available. Thanks!!! OK ladies don't kill me! I took a screen shot of the chat I had while on the webinar but it saved all funky and corrupted. Never fear though! I have a link to the "Trade Show" they did and just email me [email protected] and I will send it to you. I would tell your WC that you listened to the LIVE Trade Show and they seriously did mention the Donkey like more that 50 times and how it was available. Sorry My computer Fed up!

Quote: Originally Posted by dstinationdrmr Congrats again! Any good info from the webinar? I overslept and couldn't log on without the risk of being late for work Mostly the same stuff we all already know. but they explained alot about the food options and booze and seriously they talked about the donkey NONSTOP

Reasearch Azul Sensatori and see if that is what you are looking for!

Ladies, I am on this webinar for Azul Sensatori and I just got in writing that the Donkey is still available at Azul Sensatori so if you need it I have it!

Agreed with the ladies and having a FMIL that it took the first 3-4 years of my relationship to win over, Let him handle it

Thanks for posting ladies. I have been looking for the right badges forEVER
