Hello Azul Sensatori brides! What has your experience been with your wedding coordinators lately? I had been working with Lynda over the past 6 months and was pretty satisfied with her. Her response time was acceptable and she also seemed to understand my needs and update my details sheet quickly and accurately. Over the last month though ( ever since the changes they made) emails replies have taken 3 or more weeks and I am now working with several different people which is confusing and frustrating! I am fine with waiting a week....I understand how busy they must be, but with my wedding in 5 months, 3-4 wks to get a response to a simple question is just not ok. Have any of you experienced the same thing?

@@Jennypert CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so glad things went so well and that you and your guests had an amazing time! Can't wait to see more pics!

@@rebepax Wow! It sounds like you had an amazing time. I'm so happy that you loved the resort...it makes me feel confident that I chose the right place for my wedding. Thanks for the detailed review. Do you know how many guests are required in order to have the ceremony at the pier gazebo? I didn't realize there were 2 different beach gazebos and now I'm concerned that my ceremony wont be at the more private location. I'm going to have to confirm this with my wc because the last thing I want is a bunch of strangers in my photos! Also, after reading your post, I'm reconsidering ordering a cake. I had read several posts from previous brides who said the cakes weren't good or very pretty and I was so disappointed because I really want a cake but didn't want to waste my money if they're really that bad. Thanks so much for this VERY helpful info!!

@@AngelaA Paying for a day pass and having your makeup artist come to your room to do your make up is a great idea. I would love to know if any other brides have gotten away with that! The concern I would have with this is that the hotel staff is probably very familiar with most local make up artists/vendors, so I doubt having them sneak in as regular guests will be easy unless your make up person isn't well known to the hotel. I can't afford to pay the vendor fee again either. Like you, I'm already paying it for my photographer so I'm trying to find a way around it. I'm really worried about having my hair and make up done at the hotel.... I just don't know what kind of work they do. I wish my wc had before and after photos for me to see. Has anyone read any reviews about the onsite hair and make up artists?

@@cocosho Thank you so very much for sharing this information! The pics are beautiful. I am so much more excited now! @@reidbride2015 I'm already booked for my wedding (deposit paid) on 3/7/15, but my travel agent has invited me to the bride dress rehearsal so I'm not sure why you were told you couldn't go

@@cocosho thank you! I'm already booked at Sensatori, but haven't yet decided on a few details so I was hoping to be able to taste some of the dinner and cake options and to visit the hotel since I've never been. I want to be sure I'm happy with the locations I have chosen for the ceremony and reception. It sounds like you had a great time!

@@LaurenR Hi! Did you guys enjoy the dress rehearsal? My FI and I are thinking about going in August. What exactly do you get to see and is there any final planning/scheduling that you can do while on site? We're just trying to get a sense of what to expect and how much we will actually get to see and do. We could also really use a little mini vacation before the big day so we were hoping to take advantage of the opportunity.

oh good! I feel better about this idea already Thanks for the info! @@lolita2014 If you're thinking about changing the time of your ceremony, make sure your photographer will have enough sunlight. My ceremony is at 5:30 and I was told the sun sets around 6pm. I was stressed about my photos so I asked my WC if I could move the ceremony up to 4:30pm instead. Unfortunately, she said she couldn't because there is another wedding before mine I hope it works out!

@@rebepax Did they ask for a list of music you want played? I figure as long as they know what to play, how bad can they screw up?!

Awesome! Thank you so much.

Congratulations! Happy to hear that things went so smoothly @@Kingz85 ! Did you like DJ all music? Initially, I decided we would just use our own ipod for music, but I want the day to be as stress free as possible and don't want to worry about who is working the IPOD or things going wrong with the music etc. So.... I'm trying to convince my FI to go with the DJ onsite. Has anyone else used him or planning to?

Hi @@rebepax! I didn't know Lynda was onsite @ Azul! I thought she was in Miami so that's great to know

Hi Everyone, I've been stalking for months, but now that I'm confirmed at Azul Sensatori on 3/7/15, I'm excited to finally join in on the exciting wedding convos! I haven't done much planning yet....my WC is Lynda and she has been pretty responsive to my questions and requests so far., but I read a few posts about an online wedding planner/detail sheet and she didn't once mention anything about that. Have you guys been updating an online detail sheet OR has your WC been doing this for you?
