Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

What is the international buffet? I don't think I ever got a menu for that? I changed the desserts on the buffet with no problem. We are going with the Caribbean buffet. I didn't realize that the buffet was a different price than the sit-down dinner....that's a good surprise!

Congratulations! and Welcome!

Laura are you doing the buffet because you have (because of the number of guests you have) or because you thought it was a better option? I ask because I was leaning towards the idea of a buffet and just wasn't sure if you were allowed to have one if you had under 30 (or whatever the number was) people

You leave in just about a week - how exciting! Can't wait to hear your review of the place & your big day when you come back!

Hi Saza,

I'm getting married on Feb 22, 2011, but fly out from the UK on Feb 13 - We're there two weeks in total. Not sure how many guests we'll have because it's quite expensive - 10 booked so far, but are staying in the Riu.

Sorry - Thought I was in the Dreams Cancun thread!!

So I am having a hard time picking my flowers... haev you guys done that? I guess my "hard time" kind of involves Ana as well...as her answers confuse me. Can we ONLY pick what she sent us or can we pick out what we want and send to her??

What are you guys doing for your music? I did not really like the idea of a DJ BUT for those of you who are not using one and are just using an IPOD... how are you making your reception flow??

The way I took it is that we can send her what we want for the flowers and she will quote it for us.

I just read through about 60% of the posts. ALOT of helpful info and pics on here! I'm thinking about doing the ultimate package, but I wanted to know if anyone knows... if i was to forego on the flowers from the package and bring my own, would they subtract that from the price, or substitutue something (maybe more people for dinner) ? Also, it seems like alot of money to rent out the speakers for the reception. ($180/hour??!!) I was going to make a playlist on my ipod and connect it to their speakers, but if it costs that much, I might as well get a DJ!

I'm pretty sure that they won't subtract the cost, but you might be able to get something else substituted... however, as a general rule, they do say that the packages are not subject to change. So if you don't want something that's in the package then it's your problem! But really I think it just depends on what specific thing you are asking about, and also whether you are asking for one change to the package or many. If you ask Ana real nice though you might be able to get something for not using the flowers - typically it would be more of something that's already in the package rather than something totally new.
