Does anyone know what type of dinner is included in the packages for reception? Also, I could not find the additional cost for chairs.

The 20 min flight from Cozumel to Cancun was suspended and I hear the bus from PM to Cozumel is very sporadic and I can't miss the boat Also, I know a lot of you are anxious about certain things so IF I can find a safe way to get back and forth AND get back to the boat in time, I'll be willing to scope out things that you guys need. My WC Cecile made it seem like its no big deal to get the site visit scheduled and she offered me a food tasting. I'm just waiting for her to get back to me about the cake tasting. I feel like I've gotten so much info from the ladies on here so the only thing I'm still nervous about is the food. So, I'll keep you posted on all of this. The dat for the site visit would be Tuesday, July 13th.

Meredith....I am BEYOND envious that you will have a chance to do a site visit!!! What a way to put your mind at ease! I have been secretly doing calculations in my head about ways to get down there and do a site visit! LOL

For the dinner included in the wedding package, I used that for my "welcome dinner". When I met with the wedding coordinator, they gave me the menu the chef was going to serve. You might have some leeway in changing it, but we were happy as is. It was a salad, choice of 2 different soups, choice of chicken or fish, and choice of 2 desserts.

In any event, I do not think you will know the menu until you get to Mexico. If you use that meal for your reception, know it is not a private event and I am not sure the extent they can decorate for you. There will also not be an area of rmusic & speeches designated. Of course if you have a small group, you can always do speeches at the table - and Azul will give you a private area of the dining room - you just dont get the entire thing.

I am going with the Mexican Donkey Cocktail as a Welcoming party and the Petit Gourmet package for the reception. I am not sure what is included in the way of tables, chairs, linens, etc so if anyone does let me know too!

Airlines will typically drop rates Tuesday/Wednesday/maybe Thursday then they go up again for the weekend. The best day to book is usually a Tuesday. Also, flying on a Tuesday/Wednesday is usually cheaper than on a Friday or weekend. Play around with different combos of arrival and departure days and there will be an amazing difference. The flights we take to Cancun range from $780 for two to $948 for two, sometimes in the same week! Keep an eye on it over a few weeks and you will start to see the patterns. Hope that helps!

I don't want to give off the idea that this AHR will be ultra fab tho. Depends on the finances after November! I do think the weekend will be very fun tho. We'll probably be typsy from Fri thru Tues!!! It's the 1st Mardi Gras I've had off in awhile so I'm really excited. OMG Ladies!!! AmyKH, Meghan and Wendy....hope you ladies are having fun for me!!!

Brilliant idea! I didn't see your FB, I'll have to check it!

It doesn't have to be glamorous or dripping with money to be fabulous, trust me! As long as people have fun, which is pretty much my favorite thing to do, then it's going to be amazing! I will totally let you know if I can make it

How exciting!!!! Oh wow, that's soon! I hope you get to go. It would be easy to get over from Cozumel to Playa and then AS. Plan for a few hours though total getting from Cozumel to AS, traveling etc.

They do include tables with linens on them, no chairs. They did bring out chairs for mine, I think my MOH asked and they moved some over.

Hi All

Sorry I've been MIA. Things at work and home have been a bit insane this past week (sigh). Promise I'll be back regularly very soon (hopefully on the very) and will catch up on my forum reading. Just wanted to wish Meghan a fantASTIC trip (she may already have left tho). I'm sure everything will be wonderful and know you'll make a gorgeous bride.

 

And AmyKH, congrats on the Vegas "legal" wedding! Can't wait to read all about it.

 

Hope everyone else is doing well and planning is going smoothly.
