Please let me know: 1. how many people travelled with you 7 plus us 2. how were the rooms (your's & your guests)A+ 3. how was the wedding venue perfect 4. how was the check in process? did you get the room you expectedthey actually screwed up our check in, but it got sorted out... don't worry about it 5. how was the reception? was it private i did a non-private and it was a blast 6. how was the beach not the greatest, but because the pools are so clean and not too busy we didn't feel like we were missing anything 7. if you had it to do over again...... Absolutely!! Or just post some info on the experience. I just want to know if I should stay on course or pick another location.

Seriously, don't even read the reviews. You have to remember that most people only do a review if they have complaints. And of course some people complain about everything. My only advice, the hotel is expensive IMO to do a private event for a big group. It would have been out of my budget. But if you can afford it or are willing to go without some things, then I 100% say do it!

The wedding co-ordinator took them from my ceremony site and put them in the restaurant for me.

Hi there, and congrats on finding real brides and real Love stories!
First off, I wanted to say I just got married about a month ago at azul sensatori and as you read through allll these threads, you will see that there are alot of emotions that you go thru when planning a wedding, especially when its going to be in mexico, However you will read all of our success stories and feel much better about your upcoming wedding at AS i promise:)
I can't explain why there are bad reviews, I had some guest complaining too, one guest complained about the food at one of the resturants, my husband and I completely disagreed. COMPLETELY. So, i guess when reading bad reviews, remember that everyones different and we all have different expectations. Just read with an open mind.

We had approx 25 guest. Check in was soo cool. Greeted with a smile and a cocktail... awesome!!!
My travel agent confused our rooms up a bit, but I got upgraded for free to the honeymoon suit for a week... awesome Worked out great for us. Premium section is where the hook up is. worth the little extra trust me! I had a private reception, everything went perfect. Im not kidding, I had nothing at all go wrong and had nothing but compliments about our whole wedding day! The workers there are so amazing, They truly made my day. It was almost embarrasing how on point they are. Treated us like we were royality the entire time.
Beach, uhhh... well it was a beach, it was not the greatest but it wasn't horrible either imo. It can get weedy at times, but they rake quit often. And they clean up where your wedding is at before its time too. It's absolutly beautiful back drop for a wedding.
If I could do it over again, The ONLY thing I would change was my OFFSITE wedding coordinator. I wanna go back so bad! The resort is so cool. Prob go back for an anniversary im sure!!!

Happy Planning, I hope this helps

That would make a big difference for my immediate family.

You heard right. We're at AB (sister resort to AS) and my FSIL and her family were going to go the timeshare route. Without the food and drink it's a BARGAIN, like $400 for the week. But add in the food and drink costs and it ended up being more than our promotional rate. She ended up booking with us instead and saved her timeshare for another vacation.

(Tall enough to be mid-torso of seated guests. Maybe put them every other row?) I would then move them to vases for the reception. Hopefully that would work. Tiffany did tell me I can use the ceremony flowers at the reception. Yay! That should save atleast a few hundred dollars even with the expense rates for Lomas' vases.

We're having our ceremony flowers brought over for the reception. We haven't worked out where they'll be at the reception yet. I'm going to leave that up to the onsite team to figure out!

wow, thanks Renee....don't think I've ever been called smokin before so love you for that!!

*************************************************

just wanted to say a joint thank you to all you girls who have looked through, commented and let me know which ones you like - I have been really touched by the effort you've all put in and you've made me feel amazing. I was still a little unsure of whether they were really good or not, but you've all really reassured me and I'll love you all loads for that

I've now got to find some time away from FI to go through all your fav ones and use that to help me decide which ones to use! I only get 8 with my package but i'll probably buy another 5 or 6.

thank you all so so so much again you girls are the best!

Are any of you doing programs for the day of your wedding? If you are, do any of you have a template available for sharing?

We have programs but sorry there's no template to share. We had the girl who did our invitations make our programs for us. The front side is a welcome message from us and the itinerary, the back side is the ceremony info.

[taylorwd]

Okay girls I'm ready to share some teasers of my BD shoot! To make a long story short, my attempts to upload to the forum were denied (files too large), so if you message me with your email, I'll send you some pics. I promise to leave out the topless ones

I'm not doing programs persay, it's more of a tree themed horoscope type thing... sounds weird I know but it's just something to do while they wait. Find their birthday and the appropriate type of tree they are and see what it says about them. It looks better than it sounds... me explaining it isn't working well, lol!
