That sounds like so much fun!

Hello! For those who have been to the Azul Senatori before, how did you get there from the Cancun airport? Thanks!

We sort of did engagement photos-we wanted one for our Save the Date. We got engaged in the Bahamas, and did a really fun excursion SUBing-Scenic Underwater Bubble. At the end of our excursion the dive company had photos of us for sale for $15, and we decided to use our photo as our "engagement photo".

Even though my parents are a bit scandalized, we will be sleeping in the same room the night before the wedding. We live together and will be legally married before our DW. On the wedding day we are having breakfast in bed, and my H2B will be checking into his "groom's suite" at 10AM so I can get ready for the wedding, which starts at 3PM. We liked the idea of the groom's suite because it leaves our room available for my bridesmaids and I to get ready, and we won't see each other for most of the day before the wedding. I think my H2B is looking forward to hanging out with his guys in his own space before the wedding.

I'm so happy and relieved to hear that you have had OK experiences with Sunwing! I've had good and bad experiences with all the airlines I've flown on, so I suppose there will always be a bit of luck involved.

Congratulations and best wishes on your wedding day! We are using PhotoStudioAB because friends of ours recommended them, and because they are less expensive than Matias Cano, even with the $800 outside vendor fee! There are so many terrible reviews for Caribe that we were sure we didn't want to use them. If Matias Cano had been a bit more reasonably priced we probably would have gone with him.

Hi @@carrieandsam my wedding is in March 2015, and we sent out our STDs in March 2014, and our formal invitations in April 2014, with our deposit deadline for our group rate at the end of April 2014. We've actually had some people book after this, but they weren't able to take advantage of our group rate. The resort is sold out for some of our wedding week, so our late-bookers are arriving later and staying later than most of our wedding group. @@Vbustamove I will be at the BDR then too! Looking forward to seeing you there

@@TinkerSofi and @kmk2016 I'm going to try that approach too, thank you! We are bringing 75 people for a week, I feel like we deserve something! @@mrsnatalietobe your itinerary is super cute! I think I'm going to try and put something like that together.

Hello! We have a package through Sunwing, and none of our guests have been able to find a better price than our group rate, although many have tried! We've had a few guests book their own flights, only to avoid travelling on Sunwing, which has a terrible reputation for travel delays. I actually know a few pilots and flight attendants who work for Sunwing and they are apparently very understaffed and pretty much always have delays. So some of our guests book Westjet flights to avoid the Sunwing problems, but they are spending a lot more to stay at the resort. I was actually hoping to avoid using Sunwing, but the prices were so much better that in the end we decided to go with the lower price and cross our fingers it all works out!

@@AllieH and @@TinkerSofi thank you for the seating information! Canadian Brides FYI: We were feeling a bit left out of the Karisma promotions, coming from Canada, as we were not eligible for the free cocktail parties, etc. However, our TA was just able to negotiate a 20% discount for us to make up for this!

THANK YOU for that information! We won't bring a cutting set with us-one less thing to pack @@raqpena Brigitte was originally my WC, and I have still only heard from her even after the team reorganization. It usually is 2 days-1 week to get a response, 3-4 weeks is way too long! For the reception table set up it seems like there are round tables and the option of a sweetheart table. I'm wondering if anyone has considered doing a "head table" that includes their wedding party? We are having two bridesmaids and groomsmen, and I'm wondering if they would just put three of the sweetheart-sized tables together to make a "head table" type of thing. Thanks!

@@rebepax I'm not sure but my guess is that neither a cake stand nor a cake cutting set are provided, as they are items listed for purchase on the Lomas website. www.weddingsbylomastravel.com/planning/Wedding-Cakes We are planning to bring a cake cutting set and hopefully the cake will look OK just sitting on the table. It's already expensive enough!

Thank you for the info on the flower prices! We are just a bit worried about picking them up on the wedding date. We will certainly consider it though. We are doing escort cards, that indicate what table # our guest are to sit at. This is mostly because my parents are divorced, and we want to keep them far away from each other.

I think that colour combination would be lovely! Also, neither of you will fade away with a white or beach background. It seems like most people wrap the poles, and some hang lights inside too. I read that one bride is hanging a chandelier. I really don't want to bring lights down with me, but that is likely what we will do as Lomas charges $200 for a string of 12!

Hello! I'm getting married at the Azul Sensatori in March and I've learned so much from this forum. Thank you to everyone who has been posting, such valuable insight. I'm sure I'll have queetions but I haven't finished reading through the previous posts yet. Like many others I have found dealing with the Miami WCs very frustrating. Even with the team reorganization it takes them about a week to get back to us.
