Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!


Recommended Posts

did anyone use the salon in the hotel for hair and make up? how long did it take?
I personally did not use the salon, but from previous brides I know they have all been very happy with both the hair and makeup services. They all suggest taking inspiration photos with you, so that you can SHOW them what you want (just incase language is a barrier). And allow a fair bit of time, likely 2-2 1/2 hours. Plus you will still need to get dressed after. So I would think an appointment at least 4 hours prior to your wedding at a minimum.

Hi jswllms,

 

I just got back from the Bridal Dress Rehearsal on Sunday and I must say, it was fantastic! Not only do you get a first-hand look at the resort and all the different venues for your ceremony and reception,  but you also go to a seminar where the WCs discuss all your options with you (the different Karisma resorts, the wedding packages and promotions). You also get to taste the food, the cake and see the types of décor and spa services available to you through Lomas (which are a tad overpriced and you're probably better off bringing your own décor - but it's still nice to see for inspiration)

 

I definitely feel a lot better now that I've seen everything in real-life. I like to be prepared so that I know what I can expect before I get there in November with all my guests - but that's just me msnwink.gif

 

Also, there's been a lot of talk on here about outside DJs no longer being allowed on the resort, however the WC at Azul (Denise) told me that we can have an outside DJ along with an outside Photographer so long as we pay the $800 vendor fee for each! So maybe some WCs are being misinformed?? It's been a little frustrating hearing all the conflicting rules, but I figure if the WC at the Azul Sensatori is telling me this, it must be true! Still, I have yet to get it in writing.

 

BTW - I took a lot of pics of EVERYTHING and asked a ton of questions so let me know if you ladies would like any info from me! woot.gif

It is a tricky issue. You will likely tip the staff during the week. We usually planned for about $15-20 per day(few bucks for the maid, bartender, lunch and dinner waiter, etc) As for the wedding, we did tip our photographer, the WCs, and the waiters/bartenders. Again how much is really a personal choice. We didn't tip the set-up crew, just because we never saw them. We gave the WC a thank you card, with some cash the next day. And my husband tried to walk around our reception and thank the staff with some tip money, but I am sure we may have missed people too. I would not stress out to much about it! Just plan ahead and bring lots of small bills with you, since it can be difficult to get change for larger bills.
