SMF is right...i choose agents that have alot of destination wedding experience.

YAY...TA Jennifer is AWESOME! and for those considering sandals, she is a great choice for TA because she is so knowledgeable.

For those of you who are having an issue with your TA not wanting to put any leg work in on this, if you don't have a commitment to them I would switch. That is ridiculous they are not taking this seriously. I'm not sure if we are supposed to say who we use but I am using Teresa Sterling at Vacations For Less. She has handeled this amazingly well. As she is sure that the resort will open and tries to reassure me of that she still has been understanding of my concerns. She has contacted another resort for us and well as given me information of what DT has done for her other clients in the last few weeks. Her customer service and response time for myself and my 85 guests over the last 6 months has been amazing! If we do have to change venues I know her and her staff will make it as painless as possible! If you would like her contact info let me know...Hope everyone else is doing well. Lisa Lisa is right. I can't stress to you anymore highly. For those that are working with a TA, you really need them to step up to the plate right now. Teresa (above) is fantastic and we work together as a team for alot of the groups that i handle and i trust her implicitely. One of the reasons is because of our number together we do have alot more weight with resorts.

if you want to be part of the petition go to this thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t30346

here is the thread... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t30346 also, please try to keep in mind that part of the reason there is so much uncertainty is because the resorts have their hands tied and are working with their legal team to get the permit issues resolved and the resort back open and they are at the whim of the government agency. the resort is really great and as soon as they get answers will communicate them to us.

hey jennifer, send them to me and i will post them in this thread. i just wanted to remind everyone that we have some great TA's on this forum, TA Jennifer being one of them. she is a sandals expert so if you are a sandals bride you would really benefit from her experience, knowledge and connections with Sandals.

hey brides, in response to some of your concerns, i have started a thread that we can send to Dreams Tulum resort and heads of AM Resorts. please post your name & fiance's name and wedding date. also, if you have any questions or concerns, post them. i will try to get some answers. ps. once the issue is resolved i will delete this thread so the information is not so public.

We have power in numbers and I don't think it's fair what is happening to these girls that are getting married in the next couple of weeks that have had little contact with the resort. Landy and Lizette don't have the capabilities to help us right now. They're employees of the company that are extremely overworked and I imagine severely underpaid. I'm sure their hand are tied in light of the current situation. I'll get the address as well and maybe we should send registered letters as well. That way we can assure that someone did receive our concerns. i will start a thread and send it to the heads of the resorts....but also have your TA's do some work for you. i have talked to someone at dreams tulum once or twice (sometimes 4 times) a day since the closure.

just to clarify, paradisus is not really an option. right now dreams cancun and silversand are the only option for those that have to have their wedding moved. the reason trish and brooke were moved to paradisus is because their weddings had some other elements to it that made dreams cancun and silversand not an option for them.

All she keeps saying is "I don't know what's going to happen but I I do know I'm not going to help relocate your guests. I wouldn't get paid for it." Nice. Don't worry, IT'S NOT A TA FROM THIS FORUM (that was my big mistake). I have also not told any of my guests for fears of cancelations or just more freaking out. But come the 13th and no DT yet, well, I'm gunna have to start pulling some hair out! i hope you share your TA information because we get business by referrals and your TA should be helping you...

why does this not surprise me....i knew she hooked up with angel!

thanks for your patience everyone..i think it is working./

Quote: Originally Posted by JessicaM yes exactly tammy. the white chair covers are included in the set up fee...I think the chair ties are now $2 each per tie (both at the ceremony & reception) locations! thanks jessica...i was having one of those moments where i was doubting myself...like this question is too easy...is it a trick question?

i have been trying to figure it out but can't...i am still working on the gift issue...

ok, i may be having a brain fart moment because i am not 100% sure of this (you'd think i'd know) but i think white chair coverings, table are included in the $28 or $29 set up fee for the reception. tiffany wood chairs are extra. colored ribbon is extra.

yes, they also bought a baby site i was on...

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan will they give you dreams puerto aventuras as an option once it opens? the location is more similar to DT than DC is. i think this will happen but i think the resort opens nov/dec. i just spoke to a few people at dreams tulum today and they met with their legal team so we should hear some news soon. i think the date is still oct. 11 but i will keep you posted if i hear any changes. i know dreams tulum is on this forum and they really want the best for all the brides on here.

i know the threads are sooo out of date...they are so late 2007. seriously this forum is just a few years old so how out of date can the threads be...especially if a big majority of the threads and reviews are late 2007 and early 2008.

bumpity bump....

ok...on to see what is up with vbplaza
