As what Shannon said, it doesn't make it any cheaper to put 3 in a room. You still have to pay all of that money and then share a bed with someone. Two of my girlfriends made a deal that they would room together and then if one gets a boyfriend before the wedding she would have to give the other the $400 they charge extra for a single room. Would you believe my friend Angela found a boyfriend, moved in with him, and are now looking for engagement rings in less than 4 months! Needless to say she forked over $400 to my friend Amy but couldn't care less since she's in loooove .

Im sorry, but I am still confused about something.

 

When I got my draft of choices on a spreadsheet from Valeria, for the reception she wrote "how many" of each, next to my meal choices.

 

So, Do people have to decide before coming which of the two menu items they will eat?

 

When do I pay for all of it, at the beginning or end of the stay at the hotel?

 

Thanks!

We didn't choose ahead of time. Everyone picked after we sat down for dinner. But, things could have changed. I know it's a shocker: "EDR changes their policy!" Wouldn't be the first time we've ever heard that, if it's the case.

To clarify this a bit, Mandy did have to choose which 2 entrees were to be served, but didn't have to say how many of each. The night of the wedding dinner there was a menu and the guests chose which of the two pre-selected entrees they wanted. Is your dinner the "free" one or are you talking about a private dinner? It might be handled differently with the private dinner.

Regarding paying, everything had to be paid for 30 days before the wedding.

Hey There!!! Looks like your day is coming up and we will be there at the same time. Which gazebo are you getting married at and what time?

I have a question for past EDR brides about the videographer. We are getting married at Azul Sensatori. We are already paying to bring our photographer in and were thinking about using the resort videographer. Does anyone have any feedback on their work? We want something that will show the highlights with maybe some small details of the wedding and resort. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Yes, we will be there at the same time! We are getting married at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday the 24th at the Presidential Gazebo. You are welcome to come by and take a peek! What gazebo did you pick? Can you believe how soon it will be here?!

I had an outside photographer and didn't have them do the video. My brother in law video taped the ceremony & reception. Then my friend edited it and put music in it and it turned out great. This way we have long version of everything and a shorten version which was edited. I didn't hear anything good about the photographer on site at EDR so I don't know if they use different ones at Azul or not. I don't know about the videographer though. Sorry, not too many brides went with the resort when I was planning for May 08.

I still have to find time to do my review...a little behind. Yet got my photos a week ago if you would like to check them out.

I am so excited! It seems like I've been planning for this forever and now it's right around the corner. I am getting married on Saturday (26th) at 6:00 in the Gazebo Fuentes. I will definitely come by and take a peek at your wedding. I am sure I will see you around the resort, how long will you be there? It's pretty easy to spot me, I am 6'1 with blonde hair and Gavin (future husband) has a couple of tatoos. How would I recognize you other than obviously coming to your wedding?
