i think this thread is a great idea but i need to interject something here... to give proper information, you really need to compare apples to apples... for example: packages priced at different times of the year will fluctuate in prices dramatically. some prices include tax, others do not. be sure to make sure you add taxes to the final price because it can make a huge difference in price. some packages include r/t transfers, others do not...transfers in RM can cost as much as $50 per person insurance? is it part of the pacakge price or not? when you are on the apple website and are pricing, be sure to go to the end to get the final price. the price they initially give you does not include taxes and is about $200 less that what it really ends up being. just FYI.

2 more contestants...good luck!

i agree with kash...i dont know why you would want to have your reception there unless that was all you could afford, but with a $1500 site fee that is ridiculous...both FA and cabo surf are sooo much nicer.

there are some timeshare and condo rentals at marina fiesta... try ..VRBO® is Vacation Rentals by Owner® Vacation Homes Rentals by Owner

It comes with the speakers, a cd player and a wireless microphone. The cost is $250.

GREAT JOB Natalie!

yes, mariana is the onsite wedding coordinator at dreams. Maye is an outside coordinator that you can hire to help if you think you need it.

you aren't a bad bride...i was the same way...i did not register but i also really did not WANT anything. but people want to celebrate your wedding and get you stuff so you are going to need to get over it! most of the gifts i got were fantastic...cute lingerie, gift certificate to spas, but i have to admit maybe i should have given people guidance...like i do not need the gigantic book of pictures taken of naked men is "artistic" poses.

Hey Ladies, I know a bunch of us have done newsletters, etc. and i thought we could all share our for ideas. you can either copy and paste the text or if it is very elaborate, you can attach it.

welcome to the forum...you will find alot of information in this part of the forum. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/f55/

Moon palace does do beach receptions. there are a few moon palace brides on here: andreslove onlelove gunde

edyta stayed there and really liked it...she is on right now so maybe she can pipe in.

most of the AI resorts in RM and cancun do not work with outside vendors. the few that do have a preferred vendor list that they will refer you do.

a few brides on here are using elizabeth. she is very sweet and responsive as well. i've emailed with her.

wow, this is close!

kash, had some good suggestions...and jend just got back...didnt she have a great welcome dinner?

welcome jessica...you are in good company. there are a few other dreams cancun brides on here that are great...brenda, jilly (i apologize if i've forgotten anyone, my brain is mush!)

welcome to the forum! there are a bunch of other dreams PV brides...they are having a sale: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2694

here's what i think... lenita for my own selfish reasons of seeing the pics in march! jessalyn because she is a cabo bride and has such a great story jilly because she is just so darn sweet carolann because she is getting married at el dorado and what a beautiful wedding that will be (i dont know what she looks like jason for being a brave groom in a sea of brides and proposing in such a sweet way rya because i want to see a hawaii wedding, darnit! ok, i was no help!

We have soooo many great submissions for Jonathan's contest and I was wondering who your vote would go to? I know we all have our selfish reasons for wanting a certain bride/groom to win... shoot if i had my way, everyone would win!! ps. just a reminder, jonathan has the final pick in this matter...this is just an informal poll

kim, i have heard of him before but do not know anyone that has used him...sorry.
