Anyone at Dreams PV?

mexico15 · 12-29-2006, 09:45 AM

I am hoping that someone has, went or will be getting married at Dreams in PV. I have a few questions and I can't seem to get any feedback from the coordinator. Do I just wait to plan everything when I arrive?
Also, is anyone walking down the "beach aisle" with music playing? Are you using a CD player? How does that work? We can't afford to hire someone. We have already spend lots of money. Thanks!

ann (akh) the moderator of PV forum is having her welcome dinner at dreams...

and I am a dreams bride.

what questions are you trying to get from the coordinator? she is out on vacation until jan. 2.

Well, I wanted to know if there was a CD player provided for music during the first portion of the ceremony.
I also wanted to know about the decoration options, I have seen just those bamboo sticks with ivory swag, but wanted to know of other ideas/options that could be used. And how do I choose my bouquet? Can I tell her exactly what I want in them...or when it comes with the package, do you just get a few options to choice from?
We weren't sure about the time for our wedding either until now, but she didn't seem to worry about that before, so is there a possibility of her doing another wedding instead of ours? I guess does she just set it up and leave or does she stay and make sure everything is in place and working out?
I also keep hearing people talk about doing their reception at one of the restaurants...but I am wondering if it wouldn't be easier/cheaper to just all go to the restaurant and do dinner ourselves...it is all-inclusive, why should we pay to eat there when we already did? What are you doing?

they usually can do this but have to set up a speaker system...they most likely will charge you for this

Can I tell her exactly what I want in them...or when it comes with the package, do you just get a few options to choice from? they have pics of bouquets that come with the package BUT if you want to do something special, send them a pic of what you want and they should tell you how much it will be extra

We weren't sure about the time for our wedding either until now, but she didn't seem to worry about that before, so is there a possibility of her doing another wedding instead of ours? i think PV only does 1 wedding a day
I guess does she just set it up and leave or does she stay and make sure everything is in place and working out? if it is a bigger wedding she will pobably be there the whole time

you are not really paying for food but set up and extra servers for your private event.

Thanks for the answers! That helps my mind a little. I can't wait to get down there and start planning it. I am the kind a person who likes to plan everthing ahead of time and be done with it. Guess I can't really do that, but either way it will be here before we know it. :)
Your wedding looked amazing. I checked your website out! LOVE your dress!!

well unfortunately even if you do get everything on your list planned, as a bride you will come up with more projects, etc...that is what brides do

thanks for the compliment on the dress!

Has anyone rec'd pics from the WC of reception locations?? I want to take a better look at the grounds.

AnnR · 01-15-2007, 03:51 PM

No - I haven't! There's a wedding the night of my welcome dinner (the reason I need the pics), and supposedly she is waiting to hear from that bride to see where she wants to be. So I don't know if it's her, or the WC at Dreams that's the hold up. I'm dying to finalize those plans - then I will feel better about this, right now I feel like it's so up in the air. I guess worst case scenario, I have to fo offsite for my dinner, but I really don't want to since we'll be going off site the next nite for my wedding!

Maybe Tammy has heard something - not sure?

amyh · 01-15-2007, 03:58 PM

That's why I'm using an outside coordinator. I really don't want to finalize my plans at the last minute.

Marilu sent me two pics. one reception is on the beach but she didn't tell me where the other pic is from.
