I don't know how to explain this to my guests! If she would answer the phone they would have booked by now and not be looking on line... HELP! jason, have you tried emailing? sometimes i get back faster to people that email than call because i can respond to emails if i am doing a phone meeting or on hold...

also, dreams is having a sale right now so the rates are lower... they are $350 per night for double occupancy for your dates.

i think what people do not realize is that some of the rates you see online are not for an infinite number of rooms...they may only have 2 or 3 rooms at that price and once they are booked the price goes up. you also have to pay in full w/ a lousy cancellation policy. many of your guests may not want to do that. they may just want to put a small deposit down then pay in installments. or they may not be ready to commit to air yet (about 30% of people that book through me end up revising their room reservation...changing dates, length of stay, who they will room with etc.) and want to have some flexibility with their trip which they would not be able to do online. and lastly, if you book online you really do not have anyone as your advocate if something does go wrong. i think that is really where our value really shows.

this is an event that is not usually offered to the "public" but to travel professionals so it really is a great opportunity for BDW members considering a cruise wedding...Glenda, i think this would be perfect for you.

one per couple/family unless they had kids that were teens...then teens got their own. we figured the men probably didnt really want to carry around the canvas bags like the ladies did.

non-ai's usually do not have the single supplement...if they do it is not much more.

hey ladies, dreams does not have a 1 wedding a day policy. if you have a bigger wedding, you may be the only wedding of the day...also, they make sure that the weddings are not near each other. like they may have one reception at cascade and one at oceana and you wouldn't even know they were both going on at the same time. or one beach ceremony at 4 and one gazebo ceremony at 6...

it is so worth it to get cleaners...i got them when i was pregnant because steve is neat and so i am but i have deep cleaning...

Hello brides, it has come to our attention that a photographer (lovesimplyhappens) on the forum has created a fake membership (jas&john) to solicit business pretending to be a bride. Both members have pm'd members trying to solicit business. If either member has contacted you, please understand it was against forum rules. Both accounts have been BANNED!

what about dreams cabo?...short airfare, nice weather, flat so not many steps...lots of golfing...we took steves grandmother who is in her 80's and just had knee surgery. or dreams cancun or tulum?

It's a small town so she is really my only choice. can you find someone else that will be your representative? when i was in RE i did not double end it unless the clients were very savvy and totally ok with me doing it. if you are a first time homebuyer you def. want someone as your advocate.

they were the travel agents that came on the forum and spammed it pretending to be brides. i had to email the owner and tell her how disappointed i was that she or one of her agents would do that.
