We are planning on having our welcome dinner at dreams though!! let me see if i can get them to give you a free site visit for your welcome dinner....most likely they will say yes. they now give 2 free nights.

angela is right...dreams cabo books VERY early...so if you guests are not planners you should get a group block. cons of a group block: the hotel sometimes has sales so the rates can be very cheap (but usually for a limited time). you need to put a deposit down to hold the room penalties if you do not book most of the rooms or release your rooms on times. pros of a room block: set rate for the room for your guests... rooms are set aside for your guests so even if the hotel sells out (happens ALOT!) your guests will still be able to stay with you VIP treatment at the resort free site visit

Any idea on prices for guests? room prices range depending on when you are going etc...i think i got most of ann's guests a rate of $206 per night for double occupancy with a $50 per person spa credit. so they usually range about $202-240 per night for double occupancy

Hey Ladies, I thought it would be fun to spread the word about BDW so what about a referral contest. the contest will run from now until the end of the month and the member who refers the most new members (must post an intro and min. 5 posts) get the be one of our Member of the Month!! Maybe if there is a bride on tripadvisors looking for some wedding info, you can send her this way...

FANTASTIC!! ann, your eyes and skin...you look so ethereal!~ beautiful....everything looks amazing... leigh: great job! beautiful pics, i love the emotion...jackson (i think that is what we are going to call him) liked the first song and started dancing in my belly. wow, do i have the best job...to see all these amazing weddings and share in the emotion and love. i felt like i was there!

i personally wouldnt do it...most of the snorkel tours include your own snokel gear in the price...also you will see bringing that stuff down can be a real PITA

karla you look so gorgeous...you and your husband look right out of a magazine. juan: great job as usual... ladies: no more pressure on juan or he will go on strike

i posted this...hope it helps: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t1016 it gives a list to the photog so they know who is who, but gives the photog alot of creative reign

I already sent a email to the sales manager and general manager...but if you wanted to write a letter i would also forward that to them. it sounds like they are trying to make the situation better by moving Marilu but i think they still should know what is going on.

ann, great review...i wish i had heard from you before now...marilu called me back and i asked for an update of your event and she said everything went perfectly...another thing to complain to the general manager about...not like it matters since she is no longer working as the wc there. but i will send a message.

there are a bunch of cabo surf brides here and honestly they were very organized and on top of it so i am sure you will find all the info you will need... look for: janet1111 a10calgal (christa) nabumbah (tasha0

wow, we have so many brides getting married this week....congrats to natalie and lance...they leave on Monday and are getting married at Dreams Los Cabos! i just know she will be a gorgeous bride!! can't wait to see pics and hear all about it....natalie's group is on the larger side so i am sure the party will be rockin!

hi jessalyn...you are going to be such a gorgeous bride! i can't wait to see pics...post when you can!

Jane is actually a friend of mine...her fiance and my DH are old friends. glad you made it here!!

sarah, you look beautiful...congrats!

here is the contact info for the new WC at Dreams. Gabriela Rojas: New wedding coordinator - [email protected] Marilu is now in another department. tammy

Hi Jen, I used sam as well and thought he was really great to work with. ladies, if you use him, be sure to mention this forum as i was one of his frist weddings. he is very sweet...he does travel alot so sometimes it can take a little longer to hear back from him

hi matt, welcome...you just helped shoot ann's wedding with Leigh Miller.

hey ladies...please don't feel discouraged...this was a cabo wedding forum first so us cabo brides do tend to outnumber the rest... but i remember when ann (akh) was the first PV bride and Jackie (ryjax19) was the first RM brides and now there are so many PV and RM brides. regarding the photog issue...be firm with the resort to see if they will budge. maybe it is their policy to have a 3 night min. rule, but maybe negotiate 2 nights...or see if a photog will do it and include the cost as part of her package...some up and coming photogs are willing to pay for their own travel costs to get started in the DW business.
