The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

Hi all,

I emailed Aurora with some things I wanted, I made them concise statements because I heard that's the best way to handle things with her. Anyways....I told her I hired DJ Doremixx for the reception music and he would be there for 4 hours. And her response:

The reception dinner is included for 3 hours, is necessary to pay additional cost for extra hour $15usd+tax+service per person.

But based of people's reviews, it always seems like your dinner starts at 6:30 and they let you stay till 10:30. Should I just ignore Aurora and assume I'll be ok and not have to pay another $15/per person fee. Because that's absolutely ridiculous, they really do try to take every single penny from you.

Also, I asked for dahlia flowers, and she said they won't have those, but they'll have 'polares', what the HECK are those

Finally, did any of you recently married brides successfully get to use the $20 menu, and if so, how? Because she once again claimed I can ONLY use the silver or gold menu.

I think that you can just direct your guests to go to the closest bar for more drinks. According to the wedding guides -- 2009 and 2010 -- you have the space ("included in your package") until 10:30p It does state under the menu selections, that with the sliver and gold packages, you have "food and drink for 3 hours included" ... so tell her that you don't intend to pay the extra $15pp for that hour. The waitstaff will probably leave, but that's fine as there are bars really close to the relax and activity pools. It's not like they can start breaking down your tables and chairs just because you didn't pay the $15. I would write that back to her so you have a record that you do not agree to the additional charge, but fully expect to not have your reception interrupted until after 10:30p...as per the wedding guide.

 

I find that if you refuse to back down and continuously bring up the wedding guide, that they will honor it. They are just doing as directed as per their internal corporate policies.

Hi. I'm using Dorimixx as well. How do I pay for his day pass and food/drinks? Do they just lump it in to the bill?

Thank you,

Hi Ladies! We leave for Mexico in one week and I have some last minute questions for the already-marrieds!

1) we've hired an outside photographer who is bringing one assistant. We have to purchase half day passes for them. What is the etiquette around providing the photographers' meals? Do I need to pay $55/ pp (silver menu, more than 20 guests) for their meals and set a place for them at our table? or will they eat at the resort once done working since they can access the all inclusive amenties with the day pass?

2) did anyone do a ceremony rehearsal? I'm feeling like we're all going to show up at the ceremony and be clueless about what to do... will the wedding coordinator verbally walk us through it ahead of time or something?

thanks, trying to manage my anxiety

As far as I know we are going with the $20 menu from the Seaside Grill, but we are also paying the fee to rent the Grill out. It took a lot of emailing back and forth but she finally sent us the meal options and we got everything taken care of.
