Day passes are around $75, however, if you have a private reception, there is no fee for the day pass (we were not informed about this until we actually got to the resort).  If you have the dinner at the Spoon for your reception (which is no charge) then day passes do need to be purchased.

Hey Ladies,

 

I remember seeing something about make-up costs a while back, but cant find it

 

According to the spa info provided by my WC, make up is $165, has anyone been told otherwise? I thought someone had said it was only $85...

 

Thanks is advance!

Hi Meghan,

 

So all we need to bring is our iPod and they will plug it into their sound system? There is no need to bring anything else? What about charging? How did you charge your iPod during the reception?

 

Thanks.

Nikki

Hello DakotaAZ!

 

I am getting married April 3, 2011. I noticed are you getting married the day before me! First off... Congrats!! I am super excited for the resort. I decided that we were getting married there in late august and I still haven't planned much. I did get my wedding dress though, and that is about it. I was wondering if you would be interesting in chatting?

Hello Ladies!

 

Add me to the list... Getting married April 3, 2011 at the Sensatori Azul. Is anyone working with Carolina as a WC? I have found her to not be very helpful. I am hoping to go with a set menu, however, I really want tirmusi for dessert. Has anyone tried to change part of the set menu? Will they allow it?

 

I have also done no planning for wedding decorations. I am hoping that someone who is getting married around the same time might be interested in sharing supplies?

 

Thanks! Super glad a found such a supportive group to be part of.

Does anyone know if men can wear nice jeans to dinners or do they have to wear dress pants?  Our guys are all looking for light weight dress pants and I thought we could save them some money and stress.  On the website it only says no shorts....

Someone asked how much is the setup fee. I paid $60 for the setup fee. We also checked 4 bags ( 2 free and 2 paid). If you are bringing a lot of items, it's hard to determine how much money you are actually saving....

 

arkae,
I bought my table clothes from TableClothsFactory. They were Great!

Nikki,
I also brought my iPOD and plug it into their sound system. Worked great! I do recommend bringing your charger. I had one of my friends go back to the hotel room and got us a charger during the reception.

Many of our guests brought NICE pants/dress. You do NOT need them. some people do dress up to go to the restaurants but most of them just wore light clothes (shorts!) over their bathing suite for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, we did wear nice beachy clothes but anything close to what we were to go to fancy restaurants in the states.

Sure, your the first person getting married around the same time!  I don't have much done, I did get a dress last weekend and only because they told me if I didn't order that day, the dress wouldn't get there on time!!
