Aura Nightclub at the Atlantis

krazedtrader · March 22, 2011

Has anyone been able to negotiate free admission at the Aura night club?

Any clue how much table reservations cost?

My contact at Atlantis is not helpful at all. She just said, we have general Atlantis rates - free admission for woman, $20 for men- no discounts for groups - thats almost hard to believe!

Oh, I believe it! Before I started wedding planning, my friend who just got married said "everything is negotiable." Well, so far at Atlantis NOTHING is negotiable. I've accepted it by now, but it is frustrating.

I am going to Atlantis tomorrow and plan to touch on some of the wedding weekend events (wedding is pretty much set) and one thing is Aura - we plan on going there after the reception. I put my fiance in charge. hopefully being there in person will be more effective than trying over the phone. I was hoping that reserving a table would include admission and maybe it would make more sense than for all the guys to pay $20 a head plus drinks. I figure we'll probably have about 10-15 people who attend the after party.

I'll let you know what I find out.

OMG skp1, we will be there at the SAME time. I am arriving on Sat at 9am =)

I am going to ask them as well. Aside from tasting the food at Lucianos and spying on a wedding that my planner is coordinating at the Cloisters, I also have to look for places to do the Welcome Drinks, Rehearsal Dinner and Makeup. What are you doing about Makeup? Are you using the Mandara Spa or the MAC store downtown?

I'm probably going to do the open bar like you as well. Are you meeting with Jose? He's going to be my DJ too.

Too funny! I'm sitting at Cain at the Cove now and am loving it. The main purpose of our trip is to get our marriage license. Everything else we are doing can be done via phone but I figured i could use another weekend getaway. And this way we aren't rushed wedding weekend. After wedo our license Monday I plan to stop by Bobbie brown. Worst case if we don't have time I'll do a make up session at home and have them right down the palette. I plan to do my hair at mandate. Not sure if I will do a trial this weekend or just consultation I also plan to spy on one of WC's wedding on royal overlook. Jose said he was booked for private parties this weekend. Very busy due to spring break. He might be at club Waterloo Sunday night.

No news on Aura admission. My fiance got the manager's business card to call and try to arrange something but that could literally be a week before the wedding. I guess when you only have one task on your list you don't have to do a lot of planning and time management like we do.
