DJ Doremixx vs. DJ. Mannia

Hi girls I was a dreams bride (and switched) but I booked doremixx before I did. The said I could use him...what I learned from dreams was that you just have to tell them what your doing and they'll do it, if you ask they'll say no, such a pain in the ass but the mexican resort way I'm learning.

So I finally heard back from Claudia.

I sent my TA a list of questions and she sent it over to her. After a couple weeks she finally responded.

The way I worded it was like this:

"I booked DJ Doremixx for the wedding, he won't be coming until about 6pm, will he still need a day pass"

She told me that he is not an approved DJ and they use Mannia

So I am a little more then Pissed because Mannia is twice as much as Doremixx and I can't afford him. Even if I rent the sound system for 3 hours, it's more expensive then Doremixx!!

My TA has a really good repore (sp?) with them, so she is going to work on it for me. It doesn't look promising though.

:-(

Sorry to hear about that Philly but try this thread for a 30% off for Mannia BDW promo. Im not sure how long it is good for but it is worth a try. HTH

The discount that Mannia is offering does not apply to Dreams Cancun. They have their own pricing for him. I found this out when I contacted him a while ago and he gave me a very good price for my wedding. I told my WC at Dreams that I was hiring him and she said that his pricing was not valid to them. They wanted $948 versus the $650 he had given me. If they do allow Doremixx to become one of their vendors the prices he is offering will not be valid and we will still have to pay the Dreams rate, which I am sure will be much higher than his.

I saw how much of a profit they were going to make out of me and I opted for the sound system. I could not justify giving them almost $300 more after I have already reserved the ultimate package at $2650. What I dont understand is why is the vendor policy so different from Dreams Cancun and Dreams Tulum. They are owned by the same company. In Dreams Tulum you can hire who ever you want as your DJ. I think this whole thing sucks!!!!

I totally feel your frustration!! I am trying to get them to just let me use him on the basis that i already booked him..before he becomes one of "their" vendors.

I just think it's dumb that , here is a DJ who is a great price and comes with lighting and props and what not....But because he's not approved by them, I have to pay even MORE for a sound system, supply my own music and hope that the technician plays the right stuff.

I think i may go back to the iPod docking station option....Even that would be cheaper then their sound system for 3 hours...how ridiculous is that!!

I am not sure which package you got but we ditched the Mexican trio for the sound system during the ceremony and reception. It is not costing me a thing!

Oh really? I'm kind of looking forward to the Mexican Trio though..LOL I did get the sound system free for the Ceremony because I am not using the photgrapher :-)

Thanks for the info though...I will think about it

Wow, I guess I can't believe that they could do that at Dreams. That does really suck!

Doremixx is now an allowed vendor. He is going for $280 + 10% usd per hour.

Same as Mannia's price.

I wish DJ DoReMIxx was still at the same pricing as what most brides on here seemed to have paid for him.  It's pretty high now and makes messing with the i-pod dock not seem too bad now.
