Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

Thanks for the info!

Are you from Chicago I am in the suburbs and we are getting married this June. Our travel dates are the 14th to the 21st. We booked last August before the resort opened, so I am not sure if that played a role in my prices, but this is what we got based on double occupancy in deluxe garden view rooms:

7 nights = $1078 per person
5 nights = $775 per person
4 nights = $636 per person

We did the resort separate from the air fare. Everyone booked their air on their own and we all got it pretty cheap from O'Hare. I paid $294 round trip on American for non-stop flights. The most anyone paid for airfare was $388 round trip. Again, this is for this June, but I would imagine it would be pretty similar next June. If you haven't done so already, contact Hagen Sommer at the resort to get quotes. He is the group sales manager [email protected].

Hope this helps!

As far as the cocktail hour menu...you choose 1 of the categories and get all of the appetizers listed under there - hot and cold. For example, we chose Mexican (which was soooooo good) and we got all of the hot and cold appetizers listed under Mexican.

You can have the buffet if you have under 40 guests. I had 30 guests and we did the buffet. And same with the cocktail menu, you choose one category and get everything that is listed under it. We did change out the desserts though with desserts from other menus and Ana was very accommodating with the switching. We chose the Caribbean buffet and it was really good!

Starting on page 51 of this thread, there are reception site pictures posted and I think there are more posted after that but I am not sure where. Although this thread is long, there is TONS of information that was already posted. It might take you a while but you could definitely benefit from reading through it! There might even be answers to questions you haven't even thought to ask

Megan! Congrats and good luck with everything!! Your wedding will be beautiful!! Hope you have a great time!!

I also booked my travel through a agent who is affiliated with Apple. We had 10 others flying down for our wedding and each package was calculated differently to get the best deal possible. I paid for our flight seperatly upfront and was able to get a way better deal than having apple arrange the flights with my package. Most of my other guests it worked out good being lumped together.

I did! I ordered shavons wedding silks and carried them in my carry on. Even people watching the ceremony didn't know they were fake. LOL They look real!

There should be about 50-60 people in our group. We are going the first week of may. Well since my date is sun may 8th now, most people will prob be going thur-sun or fri-mon

Does anyone have Ana's phone number? I need to set my wedding date and she hasn't replied to my email which I sent 2 weeks ago. If anyone knows the best way to contact her please let me know! Thank You=)
