May 2010 DREAMS TULUM BRIDES

Hi There! I am getting married on the 25th at 6pm, with a beach ceremony and reception. So far, I'm bringing in an outside photographer and DJ, but using the resort for everything else. I'm not too worried about decor, I think the beach is scenic enough in itself.
I have Aurora too, and she's been pretty impressive thus far. She's responded fairly quick to all my questions. Maybe not what I wanted to hear neccessarily, but at least she responded!

Congrats Cheri! Glad to have more input from another May Bride!!

Has anyone done a scouting trip and checked out the options for where you can have your reception? I'm looking around in the Dreams Tulum sticky thread for opinions on the different locations...

I was there in October and was given a tour. For dinner, you can do: the beach (2 different locations), next to the dolphin pool, next to the adult pool, a table next to one of the bars (not a good location!), or, for a small party..you can do a table in any of the resteraunts (this won't be private though). When you get to the resort, a cordinator will show you all of these options.

 

There are other options for the cocktail hour: the lobby terrace, the beach, the chapel courtyard.... all of which are very nice.

 

Is there something in particular you are looking for?

You know....if you've never been to dreams, my description was probably pretty bad!!

Try this:

Beach location 1: near a resteraunt and the dolphin pool. The area is at the end of a walkway and fairly open... a few palm trees for decor and light from the resteraunt

Beach location 2: Near the trampolene. Again, a few trees. No resteraunt near by, so probably a more quiet option.

Dolphin pool: pool with dolphin statue on the one side, some colums and the beach on the other side. The area that they set up is out of the normal path of foot traffic so will be pretty private. There is a resteraunt about 20-30 feet away though.

Adult pool: long recatangle pool. No resteraunt really close. You can see a bar, but the recption will be set up as far away from that as possible. The beach will be on the other side. For a large party, you could set up tables all the way around. Again, foot traffic should not be going through.

Ball Room: Indoor option. The furthest building from the beach. The rooms are sqaure. One had a stage, one had mirrors on all of the walls. Looks like a typical hotel convention room set up. Lots of opprtunity to decorate though! If you want to avoid bugs, wind and sand...this may be a good option.

I believe these are the main areas. Again, you can have a table in one of the resteraunts as well, but other resort guests will also be using the resteraunt.

Thanks for the more detailed info. I am glad to hear we don't have to make a decision on the locations of the festivities until we get to see them! But this helps soooo much!
