Dreams Punta Cana Wedding Review - Jan 25, 2010

Thank you for the information, Jocy! We were originally leaning towards the Ultimate package, but it had things in it that we didn't really want or need. From what I was reading though all the girls' posts, they aren't very accomodating to changing or modifying anything.

It makes sense to go the same route you did, so I really appreciate your candidness about everything. I feel like if I ask the WC she'll just steer me towards the most expensive package anyway!

I just re-read your review and noticed you've answered my questions in there, so I totally apologize for making you repeat yourself :-( I was so excited to read your review, I don't think I processed anything hahaha

Who organized your cigar roller? And how much was he? I'd looooove to surprise the hubs with one!

Jocy, thank you a million times for posting such an awesome review! You have put my mind at ease. =) I wish I could have seen your pictures, I'm sure they were gorgeous!!! Congrats again on becoming a MRS! Glad you had an amazing time!

cristinimartini - the WC organized the cigar roller. We just told her in our meeting a few days before the wedding that we wanted one there and it was $200 for 1hr.

A word of advice about the cigar roller. It's basically a guy who sits at a table with DR cigars that he hands out and cuban cigars that he trys to sell. We weren't to impressed that he was trying to sell anything at our wedding!! And i think the general consensus was the DR cigars were just OK....the Cubans were excellent. So my advice would be to buy Cubans in advance and give them to the men as favors. They have people selling them on the resort on Wed / Sat evenings i believe. I just thought the cigar roller meant he would roll them fresh...they were already rolled. Does that make sense? That being said, our guests loved it and said they'd never seen that before which is always a nice compliment!

But totally up to you - of course, it's your wedding!!

HTH, x

cristinimartini - we arrived on a Wed and our meeting with the WC was on Fri morning for our Mon wedding.

She didn't ask any questions about details etc until that meeting 3 days before the wedding. I did however just email her stuff when i made up my mind about it...like reserving which terrace i wanted and all that kind of stuff and she had it all nicely organized in her little file!

Jocy,

Thank you for such a detailed review! Helps me out alot, especially with the breakdown of the progression of events. Congrats and I wish I would have seen the pics. I'm sure you're sick of hearing that but I was thinking of doing the same color combo with my flowers and would have loved to have seen it.

Your review answered every question I had about Dreams!! Thanks so much! I'm second guessing my choice to have my wedding at Majestic Colonial because they charger for every little thing. To have an open bar would cost me $4000 for 40 people there. Open bar was included with your package right?

Yes, the open bar was included in the dinner package price. They even served us at our tables which i wasn't expecting. A nice touch i thought!!!
