@@raqpena I went to the dress rehearsal. You should ask to see all of the hotels you are interested in. They do a great job hosting you. They put us in the honeymoon suite. It was amazing. Of course they are putting their best foot forward to sell you on booking but I will post a detailed account of our preview experience. I've got lots of pics!!! The service level is unmatched is really top notch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@LaurenR my FI and I did the Karisma bride's dress rehearsal last November. I am allergic to shellfish and nuts. Let me assure you that all karisma brands take food allergies and special diets very seriously. Upon check in they asked us if either had an allergy. Each restaurant we visited mentioned my allergy to me BEFORE I ordered. I was very impressed and also as we went through the dress rehearsal wknd we visited other Karisma properties: Azul Beach and El Dorado Royal. Everyone knew about my allergy and during the tastings they pointed out the things I could and couldn't have. Again we were quite impressed with how well this information traveled. The chef can also make gluten free and vegan cakes!!! One of my sisters in law has celiac issues and I have two vegans attending the wedding. I am super confident that my party will be taken care of. #vivamywedding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@lolita2014 you can definitely hang out on the premium side and not run into your guests who are located on the family side. Make sure to ask your on site coordinators to help you with this request. You can hang out at the premium section pool and not see your guests. You deserve to relax on your day! After reading all of the posts about Carol in the Miami office being disorganized, I was VERY nervous. Well lo and behold, I ended up with Carol and sure enough she was completely disorganized. Our Wedding details were wrong and continually wrong after two and three times of correction. I asked my destinationweddings.com planner if she felt like the delayed reposonses I was getting and lack of attention to detail were "typical". She did say Miami coordinators seem to be more detail oriented the closer you get to the wedding date but that it wasn't a good thing that I would't get responses until about 7 days later. I wasn't sure what to do, I mean what could I do? I checked my latest email to her and it had been 14 days with no response! Well this morning I got an email from Brigitte Castro - my NEW planner. Carol has left the company. Brigitte seems very engaged and excited to be working with us! Though I'd let you guys know not to be scared. Better days are ahead. #vivamywedding

Hi @@LaurenR! My MIL and my bridesmaids have volunteered to each take a lil sumthin sumthin in their bags. My MOH works for an airline so she gets an additional free bag on her flight. I'm taking all the help I can get. #vivamywedding

we are 10 years apart! we'll be 34 and 44 when we get married this fall. #vivamywedding

@@JMK923 thanks for sharing. Everything looks great! Question: did Azul Sensatori provide any free spot lighting for plaza zavaz? Our reception will be there so I'm trying to figure it all out beyond my lanterns and string lights thank you! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We're planning on doing the Lasso ceremony. I'm Catholic and I'd like to find symbolic ways to integrate some tradition to our non traditional ceremony. I'm also wearing a traditional mantilla veil. We are still designing our ceremony so that's all that's concrete for now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@murmel thank you!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I agree it's llike $600 (main invitation, rsvp cards, etc) BEFORE postage that my FI and I can put toward something else. The problem is I just don't think our guests are as progressive as we are. I do think ppl still expect to get formal invitations and I have to confess that our STD was electronic and indicated that a formal invitation would follow. Yikes - how can we save money and push people toward the digital age? #vivamywedding

I'd love to TTD! I was in Paris when I saw my first TTD on Champs-Elysees - a girl was covered in paint by the time her maids finished with her! The breath taking photos underwater are what truly convinced me - I mean hey, when else am I going to wear it? I am all about "living in the moment". If I have a daughter, I'll want her to choose her own dress. We'll do it for sure if yet another photography session can be squeezed into the budget. #vivamywedding

Great - thanks for the info @@JMK923! every dollar counts in the budget ;-) #vivamywedding

Hi Ladies, Wondering if anyone can tell me how much it cost to have Azul Sensatori steam your gown? Thanks for the info! #vivamywedding

I'm getting married November 28, 2014 at Azul Sensatori. We've secured our block and have 43 rooms booked so far! (I hope it doesn't grow too much more beyond that) We Attended the brides dress rehearsal in November of 2013. We've picked colors and now I'm figuring out what my bridesmaids duties are. We are about to sign up for pre marital classes at our church. oh yeah and we've also just picked our invitations from a beautiful design found on www.minted.com yay for November brides!

In order to afford these resorts sometimes you need the bargaining power of a travel agent. They book on years of volume so that's much more power than one wedding. They can help you negotiate - actually they can just negotiate for you so there's no stress. They will get the answers you may be looking for. I booked my wedding for Azul Sensatori this Thanksgiving Wknd and we used www.destinationweddings.com our coordinator is Valerie Bennet. She's awesome. You can request her when you fill out the information form on their website. Good Luck!

Brand new here. We're planning a wedding at Azul Sensatori Thanksgiving Wknd 2014. Can't wait to get all of the helpful 411 from you all! #vivamywedding
