It was beautiful and private and right on the beach...here is a pic. I don't know if it would cost more, but I'd imagine not much This is just beyond the "quiet pool" nearer the water activities hut WOW!!!!! I LOVE this idea!!!!!! I wonder if it is an additional cost? I hope not! I really want to do this now! I love this idea!!!! :) I just found out today that we're only having 14 max! So this would work perfect! I'd probably request some lanterns or something, for a little more light though... THANKS NEEN! for posting this! I bet a lot of brides are going to start doing this! I know I keep saying it... but its just such a neat idea! very intimate! THANKS AGAIN!!!! J.

I know Ill be coming back to it a lot. THANKS again Stephanie!!! Also... Here's my info! Username--- dreamstbride Names (optional, first names only)--- Joann & Steve Date & Time--- November 13 2008 (3:00pm) Number of guests---10 confirmed, 20 invited... Coordinator--- Sandra (at the beginning...) and now Landy Ceremony location--- Chapel Reception location---Weather permitting it will be a Beach reception, by the seaside grill.

But we did have a mixer thing happening the day before the wedding. I was hoping to get all of our guests to go on a joint excursion. I know of a really neat cruise that takes you out to either Cozumel? or Isla de Mueres? were you can swim with Manta ray.

WOW!!! great advice!!! the last few posts have been super helpful!!! thank you ladies!!!! :)

^ SunBride FH and I's colours are the same! Turquoise/blue. I love the idea of putting the tulle around the chairs. Your set up looked really amazing! Where abouts did you pick up your tulle

Great pics!!!! You looked so stunning! I cant wait now! I love reading the reviews, and pics for Dreams Tulum! I get all worked up! THANKS again for sharing! Congrats to you and your hubby!

^^^^ YAY!!! congrats on finding and ordering your dress!!! thats one of the funnest parts of the whole wedding process! YAY! Congrats again!!!

"There is at least one other wedding on my day…where is that reception being held? Far enough away from SG? Confirm that no one can have a beach reception outside the SG while I’m having my reception there?" This is MY big thing!!!!!

Does any have Landy's telephone number I really really need to get a hold of some one at the resort. Im a little frantic over it! Im starting to freak out a bit, Ive e-mailed a couple times now, in the last two months and NO reply what so ever... at first I totally understood, the delay, but now Im freaking out! There is another wedding an hour after our wedding in the chapel , and i needed to discuss things over, and no reply! nothing! Im getting annoyed... can some one please help! THANK YOU!!!!

How much does it actually cost to rent a dance floor? How big is it too?? and lets just say I only want to use it for our first dance.... or is there anyway I can move to a whole other location just for our fist dance? (if we still decide to have the reception on the beach...)

Has anyone had their reception on the beach Do you have any pics I was looking at the ariel map Stephanie posted and I was having a hard time finding a location on the beach to set up for a reception.. Any thoughts

I know they can set up a docking station where you will have your reception but not sure if they will set it up for you at the chapel. The wedding guide says they take care of setting up a CD player during your ceremony and even offer a CD in case you forget to bring your own wedding music. It was mainly for the reception... I know that during the ceremony they provide you with a cd player... I was hpoing to have music for the reception... but I didnt want to burn a cd with ALL the songs I have on my ipod... Just was hoping to make things easier on myself.... hahaha!!! :)

Thank you ladies! I knew you girls could calm me down! hahaha! A lot of you are saying I will have plenty of time, so Im keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the timing all works out! As for decor, your probably right! If I talk to her there is a chance we could work something out! yay! Im getting excited again! no more nervous wreck! Thanks again ladies! One last quick question... Did they have a docking station for your i-pod to connect to the sound system? or is it easier to just burn a Cd?

Ok!!! am I allowed to be mad? Another Dreams Tulum Bride contacted me on our wedding website to let me know that her wedding will be the exact same day as ours. As well as in the Chapel at 4pm an hour after our 3pm ceremony?? Not sure if she is on this site or what? but I dont know how to feel about it I dont want to have our wedding rushed, b/c there is another wedding only an hour after ours... I was hoping to do cocktails outside of the chapel. Im assuming that wont be possible now, and our set up, probably going to get ripped down right after to set up for her day... I was really hoping to take a few pics in there before having everything come down... I dont know? How would you feel also... I already contacted Sandra/ Landy about this, and said it wasnt a problem, they are more than one wedding co ordinator and can handle it...

ALSO!!!!!! I just sent Sandra an e-mail regarding my question above... and this is the automatic response I got... "Dear All : It is my pleasure inform you that today May 29th start my new position as wedding planner please do not hesitate to contact me if you may have any special request . My partner Sandra Casillas is not longer working in this position . Cordially Landy Cahum Wedding Planner"

I have a question in regards to getting married by the church? FH and I are planning on getting married legally in Mexico, but also want to be married by the church, can Sandra arrange this Has anyone been married by the church at Dreams Tulum as well as legally? or do we have to go to an actual church

BEAUTIFUL PICS!!!!!! I cant say anything else! Im in total awe! so beautiful!!!!

Was this an e-mail just sent to May brides

If so, maybe they can let Sandra know about you plans... Same as above!!! Our wedding date is booked for Nov 13 2008, everything has been confirmed! but... we don't have flights booked at this moment either... In the end Sandra needed our TA info... so we sent her or TA info and we were then confirmed! I suggest contacting a Travel agent and asking for a couple quotes... you wont get any for your 2009 dates, but at least you'll have a TA getting quotes in... Then contact Sandra and let her know you have a TA and your working on getting numbers and contact info... Hope this helps happy planning!!!

THANK YOU so much for posting this!!! eek!!!! makes me so excited!!!! the bon fire idea sounds amazing!!! I really liked it! THANKS AGAIN!!!
