I e-mailed mariana to ask how much it would cost to hang them if I provided my own and she said $60.00 usd. I saved over 50.00 bucks doing it this way. But then again I do have to transport them there myself. Just an FYI for those of you who are thinking about doing the lanterns. Really? I'm confused....they know the both Jessica (Chrpfan) and myself are bringing our own and quoted us both 180 just to hang and wire them...not including the lanterns. Hmmmm.....I hate when we all get conflicting info. I'll have to e-mail Yarai to see. THanks for the heads up though Jackie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I had a feeling that that is what was happening. That is why when I e-mailed Mariana I specifically said that I had spoken to a girl that said Dreams provided the lanterns for her in addition to hanging them for $180.00 I said to her in a nice way that maybe it should be less money since I am providing my own lanterns. I mean lets face it, they are using our other BDW brides left over lanterns to hang for people and charging us 180.00 bucks the same exact amount but yet we are bringing our own which will take up some space and weight in our suitcase and we purchased on our own. Word of advice print out all of your agrements via e-mail so that when you get the final bill you have something of substance to fight with.

Nene Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well Ladies Yesica is charging me $200 to provide laterns and hang them? I am going with it though- I have too many suitcases already to make space? Yikes- it will work out though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going with it though- I have too many suitcases already to make space? Yikes- it will work out though... Thats actually another reason I e-mailed Mariana about it. When I read that Dreams provided them and set them up for the $180.00 I figured if they were going to charge me the same amount than I would just leave my lanterns behind. But since the price dropped for bringing my own I'm going to lug them with me. We are bringing so much stuff there, that is my only worry that things will break or not make it or weigh to much. Oh well, at this point at least I know that if the lanterns get squased or my huricanes break Dreams allready has them in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nene Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 YA! No worries it is going to look amazing regardless of anything that we try because our location and hotel is just so beautiful! So all the items/decor will be like above and beyond!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarai quoted me $180 including the lanterns or $50 if I was bringing my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twixygrl Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hello ladies. On the lantern topic, I was quoted 180 by Marianna at Dreams, but Maye (Wedding Coordinator) has offered the service at a price of $80, so if anyone is considering this option Maye has the better price. On a new topic, have you seen the new photos on the website?? One of the photos show lighting under the table...Dreams will provide this for $10 per table, which I thought was a bargain, so I will be having both the table lanterns and the hanging lanterns and luminaries that we are bringing with us!!! Let there be light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
