Dreams Cancun - DJ Option

Here's what I'm trying to figure out...if you do the djing yourself and have to pay $180/hour for the equipment...for a 4 hour reception, that's over $700. If they DJ is $750, why not just use the DJ?

Or, does Dreams still make you rent their equipment when using a DJ?

I just found another post with Carlos's contact information.

Okay, I just emailed Carlos from Mannia Audio and he got back to me within minutes.

Does anyone know if Dreams Cancun will allow an outside DJ to come in? I know some resorts will not allow it because they can provide the service. This is a great deal if they do allow it.

So, the dance floor and lighting and fireworks come with it? Or is that an added cost?

you may just want to ask the DJ you speak to if they've ever done weddings at dreams cancun, they're usually pretty flexible with outside vendors. And if he's been in business that long, chances are he's done weddings there, if it's allowed.

yeah, was just wondering the same? Dance floor included? Or does it come with a pkg from Dreams Cancun? I've never seen anything like that and really like it!

The DJ's pictures show a cool raised dance floor, while it is very nice, I don't know if the terrace or the tower lobby would accommodate that if you choose to have your reception there.

The ballroom would, that is close to the entrance of the resort.

Also, Claudia told me they do not allow fireworks.

I had sparklers a friend got for me during the holidays specifically for the wedding. She was okay with those once I explained what they were.

thx again paula for the sparklers!!!!!!!!
