Dreams La Romana

irisheyes...In my case it took a long time until they confirmed my date (over 2 weeks), not to mention that they booked the wrong one as well.

They are extremely busy with weddings at DLR so they dont always answer back to your e-mail on time.

What I found worked for me was to put in the title of the e-mail the word "Urgent". Hope that helps.

I hope you book your wedding with DLR...its an amazing resort

Hi Irisheyes good to have some one else from Ireland, I'm getting married there in just over three weeks and this forum has been fantastic. Who are you booking your wedding through? I booked mine through Caribbean Warehouse after haggling the prices between them and Caribbean Collection and managed to get our 2 weeks £500 cheaper than Thomas Cooks website, even though we are actually flying with Thomas Cook. I was having the same problem with trying to tie down a date (I've since realised the Wedding Corordinator deals with hundreds of weddings and therefore has to prioritise them in order of wedding date) but the travel agent was able to get the date and time confirmed for us, they have also helped out on other issues as well. I would highly recommend them.

Enjoy your planning and welcome to the forum

Hey I'm planning a wedding at Dreams La Romana April 2011 Any advice, ideas, comments, photos etc. would be greatly appreciated!!!! xox

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the late post! I'm back, had a great time. I had to deal with the small local reception at home too, so didn't have a chance to review yet.

I'm still trying to figure out pictures, once I've figured that out, I'll post pictures too

Thanks for replying girls, it's very frustrating waiting for a reply, i just want to book it all now, no patience at all. I'll wait a few more days and try again! Also anyone who is going with the free basic wedding package, how many nights did you have to book in order to qualify for it??

Yeah lizzyjayne, i saw that you were from Ireland as i was reading through this thread, are you all organised for your big day now? We're not sure who we're booking it through yet, trailfinders have given us the best quote so far. Where are you flying out from? We'll have to go through Gatwick or Paris as there are no direct flight from Dublin. I rang the caribbean warehouse earlier and the price is working out more or less the same as going through a travel agent here, but we'd have to book our own flights to Manchester. How did you manage to haggle with them, i always thought the prices were set?? Tell me your secret!!

Hello Irisheyes,

I am going with the free wedding package as well (Dreams Wedding in Paradise Package). On their site, it says:

"This package (Dreams Wedding in Paradise Package) is complimentary when booking a booking an Ocean Front Suite or higher for a minimum of 7 nights or if 5 rooms are reserved for a minimum of 3 nights in any room category.

Did you not receive attachments of the Menus, Wedding Packages and Extras yet? If not, I can e-mail them to you if you give me your e-mail address.

xoxo Bee

Thanks Pink_petals, i'd seen that on their website, but then a travel agent said that if you book a partial ocean view room for 14 nights you also qualify for the free wedding. Maybe it's an agreement with with this particular travel agent? Trying to convince the hubby-to-be that a suite will be worth the extra money, sure if you can't spend it on your weeding/honeymoon when can ya? Yeah it'd be great if you could email me on some info. My email address is [email protected].

Welcome Irisheyes and Miss Taken!--- I know that this is going to sound crazy, but you should really try and read the last 100 or so pages! Believe me when I say, you will have answered the majority of your questions, seen a bunch of pics, gotten great ideas AND replaced your old questions with new ones!!

Amy -- Thanks for the clarification with the wine; that's one less thing to have to worry about

Pink Petals-- I'm using the lanterns as my centerpieces so I only needed 10 of them. For the gazeebo decor I'm going with traditional white tulle draping and then using blue and green parasols at the end of each row to add a punch of colour!

FYNIAC --loved the review!! Welcome back and congratulations!!
