Dreams Cancun does have a fireworks package but I think its kind of pricey. I've attached the details for you. If you can't open it you can PM me and I'll email it to you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! i really appreciate it... i was really looking forward to fire works, and the WC from riu palace riviera maya said they dont allow them in mexico, so i was bummed... that WC barely answered any of my questions and just sent me the frequently asked questions page.. sooo i dont think im gonna go with them.. so frustrating... but thanks again!

They definitely allow them in Mexico because I got that price list from the WC at Dreams. Claudia and Daniella (WCs at Dreams) are pretty good with getting you the information you need it just takes awhile to get a response though. If you need questions answered ASAP your best bet is to call them directly. Good luck deciding!

That's a great touch. I'll have to ask my hotel if they do that.

Very cool

No I did not although I'm considering going down in Feb. or March although at that point it won't really matter because we already have 50 people booked! I based my decision on reviews on tripadvisor and the weddings/site visits of others girls on there. So far there has yet to be anyone disappointed. Are you working with a travel agent? The one I used was VERY helpful in getting me the information I needed. I used Elite Travel...

hmmmm strange....my WC at Dreams Tulum told me they are not allowed in Mexico. I really wanted to have them...

Do you think maybe just some resorts don't allow them?

but you would think if Dreams Cancun and Dreams Los Cabos allowd them then so would Dreams Tulum...

Thanks for posting this i'm going to have to look a little more into this.

You pay nothing for a TA so it definitely helps to have one. I've found that our guests like having someone to talk to too when they are booking. Plus it eliminates them asking you a million questions! My TA helped me find out if the date was available within a couple of days and all we had to do to reserve it was have a reservation at the resort in our names. Then she has been negotiating group rates for our guests as they contact her and book. If they find cheaper prices online anywhere she has matched that price as well. Also, for every night one of our guests has a room booked we get a $5 credit. This has added up to almost $500 dollars already! Its an incentive the TA gave to us for using her services.

Once our reservations and stuff were out of the way I've been dealing strictly with the WCs for wedding questions but if I find myself waiting especially long for an answer on something I let the TA know and she zings them and gets the answer for me! The TAs hold a lot more weight since they are sending people to the resorts all the time.

Hope this helps!
