Just wanted to let you guys know that I booked my cake through sweet dreams. It's $360 for a cake to feed 65 people. This was a similar price to the quote from Erika at Dreams and less than the french bakery that she recommended as an alternative. I think I found Sweet Dreams through this board. Anyway, the owner and cake baker was very responsive and gave a lot of feedback on the style of cake. She's the first person I've dealt with so far who actually sounded excited about what she's doing. Her info is below: Deena Sweet Dreams (624) 142-6318 http://www.sweetdreamscabo.com/ http://www.sweetdreamscabo.com/eprices.htm -Trisha Dreams May 13, 2006 Her quote: 2-Tier Wedding Cake =============== Top tier: 6" square (serves 1 Bottom tier: 10" square (serves 50) Total Servings: 68 All covered in Dark Chocolate Ganache, with some dark chocolate shells and two hand-sculpted palm trees standing up out of top tier as 'centerpiece' Cake & filling flavors T.B.A. Cost: $350 USD + $15 US delivery = $365 USD total > >> My quotes do not include any flowers, as each their price always depends on type, season/availabilty, quantity, etc. I recommend to my clients that they order extras for the cake along with their regular floral order, and I will happily arrange any flowers on the cake that are provided to me upon my arrival to deliver and set up the cake

Speaking of - if any of you feel like planning mine, be my guest! ann, once you get the place and lodging taken care of the rest will be easy and fun!

i used to make these as a kid... ps. there is a thread called "forum how to do's" that has instrux on how to post pics, insert avatar, sig, attachements, etc.

no one got sick our entire trip except steve's friend and that was from drinking and deep sea fishing...we ate everything...at the bigger resorts alot of times the water system is on a purifyer so that helps...but make sure your resort has that as well.

karla you are GORGEOUS!!! i said this before but you and hubby look straight out of a magazine! i loved the pics of you guys on the beach...the ceremony looked stunning with the backdrop...perfect!

I would carry them on so they won't melt. My FI is not so happy with the amount of stuff we are carrying on. He wants to ship everything down there. Are any of you doing that? Sorry it is kind of off topic. people have shipped stuff prior to their WC..mariana is very helpful and will most likely do this...if you decide that is what you want to do use DHL..there is a whole thread about this...let me see if i can find

KARLA!!! you look like models in that picture! i want to see more!!!! the review was so thorough and awesome! sorry your WC seems to have dropped the ball...can you get the other information for Rosy? i am so glad you are back!

Quote: Originally Posted by Natalie M We are doing the Cascade terrace for our reception but having a welcome dinner at the oceana terrace. I was reading that it is smaller does anyone think that if we have 100 people it will be too crowded? natalie, they can fit 10 tables at oceana...

here are some pics from jen a member of the old forum: www.britneyphotography.com click on clients (court & jen) the username is britney (all lowercase) and the password is downey (all lowercase).

today is just one of those days...i want to go home too...i am starving and just want to work from home. boo!

we're not doing favors either.... 1. i didnt want to carry them down there 2. people didnt want to carry them back i did OOT bags and filled them with a bunch of stuff.

Hotelier posts fake reviews JAMES ADAMS A SCOTS hotelier has been artificially boosting his establishment's ratings by making up reviews and posting them online, it emerged last night. David Bremner, owner of the Drumnadrochit Hotel by the banks of Loch Ness, was reported to have admitted writing glowing accounts from non-existent guests on the TripAdvisor website for travel information. Bremner wrote: "My parents stayed many years ago and said what a lovely spot this place was. They were so right!" Another fake recommendation stated: "Well done to the staff, who were really charming ... The food is outstanding ... Believe me you'll love it." Bremner was reported to have admitted the ploy but was apparently unrepentant. He is reported to have said: "Maybe I shouldn't have done it. But I don't think it's that big a deal." However, Bremner's motive for posting the reviews could be explained by genuine assessments of his establishment, which included complaints of high prices and shabby rooms. TripAdvisor.com has more than 20 million visitors a month and, while people must register before posting reviews, only site moderators are there to catch self-aggrandising postings.

We thought it would be nice to have our reception with a nice ocean view, (something like Pitahayas) but I've also seen some restaurants that look really nice and don't appear to have an ocean view (French Riviera Restaurant). So then I'm back to my 25 restaurant list (we can't possibly visit all these restaurants and try them)! Any insight from your visit would be appreciated. Thanks. Maria maria, i have a restaurant list on this forum with some reviews...let me try and find it for you...also, Kasmira loved the food at hotel natalia...and that is close to the church...

Unless Tammy gets to him first, I am sure she will find out for us! ann, juan does travel...he is possibly doing a wedding in san francisco and has been contacted for a cancun wedding... you should email him at [email protected] and tell him you were referred off the forum and see what his rates are if he has to travel.

janet, you are the BEST!! your centerpieces looked awesome...your flowers are GORGEOUS! you look radiant and beautiful...can't wait to see the rest. (ps. please use shutterlfy, it is easier than ofoto.)

ladies, if it makes you feel better people will not get their butts in gear until the last possible moment... we really didnt know until about 3 months before our wedding who was gonna be there...even then only about 70% of the people that came actually RSVP'd by that time...we had people RSVPing the week of the wedding.
