I honestly don't think FI and I are going to go past $10K...with a majority being spent on us and our room.

We are not planning on a private event...we are not bringing a photographer with us...we are keeping our guest list super short to immediate family and close close friends only....

We are looking into a group event (really want to do the catamaran cruise) and trying to find the best deal on those...but since I have so much time..I don't have a clue how many people will be there yet.

 

So...if you plan on having a full on wedding with a lot of people...then yes...your budget will be a LOT higher...but if you go for bare minimum and basics...you can get away with under $10K

Sorry ladies, I'm just sort of jumping in here, but thought I'd comment on the budget.  I agree, a lot of ladies are doing more elaborate weddings.  Mine was "the basics" with only 7 guests.  I think it also depends what you include in your "budget" to be able to compare them accurately.  I included EVERYTHING.  The rings, the week vacation, the attire that I bought for the wedding party, the cost to authenticate documents.... all of it lol.  By the time it was all said and done, I was closer to $14K.

 

My point exactly ladies!  It's impossible to give an accurate estimate of a budget since we all define our budgets differently.  Our wedding was very bare bones, nothing fancy, immediate family only (28 ppl total), and we came out to about 15K.  But I included EVERYTHING in my budget including all 10 days at the resort, flights, my dress, rings, insurance, all the wedding stuff, and on and on.

So I just found out I get to do a food tasting for a few private event menu items on Thursday!  I've been fighting for this since beginning of July and finally got it approved...woohoo!  My FILs are foodies, so the thought of us selecting our menu without trying it was killing them.  What a relief.  I have no idea how organized its going to be, or if they will charge me anything...but I'll let you know the scoop when I get back.

That's awesome! Please let us know how it goes. I would love to hear how the food looks and tastes.

FI was a former chef...so he's a huge foodie! One of the main reasons we picked the Sensatori in the first place. Overall the food is really good, especially for an all inclusive!

Jamie,

I would love to see some pictures of the beach reception area. I was told there were palm trees around but I don't know how many or how tall it is. I am debating on the lights on the palm trees or lantern lights around the area or BOTH!  Thanks for offering to help!!! I hope you enjoy your stay at AS!!!

Certainly! 

 

I think there are 2 (maybe 3) options for beach reception.  Do you know how many guests you will have?  I can take pictures of both locations just in case.
