Quote: Originally Posted by Erika J I would love to know the dress codes as well, I saw on the website that they do not allow flip flops in the dinner restaurants, is that true? Yes, the Japanese / Pan-Asian restaurant, Himitsu, does not allow flip flops. I actually saw them refusing entry to some guests who were not appropriately dressed. The other dressy restaurant is the Italian one, Portofino. It's a definitely no-flip flop / cut-offs kind of place. The other restaurants are casual and flip flops are fine, but no swimsuits. Hope this helps and good luck!

Leia, your pics are absolutely beautiful! What a beautiful bride you were. We will have to meet up sometime after the holidays are over!

How exciting and special! You look so beautiful!

Thanks! Some non-pro pics are posted at: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t32280 The Dreams nightclub was definitely not a Hollywood type of club but it was still a ton of fun. There was a dance floor, tables and chairs surrounding it, good dance music, and a full bar. It's pretty cozy in size, but I think that made it funner and more intimate for our friends.

I used April from Baja Weddings and she is fantastic. I highly, highly recommend her. I worked with Variana (Vari) before and did NOT have a good experience. A lot of Dreams brides use an outside coordinator, so this won't be a problem for Dreams in terms of them getting upset or anything.

Is it extra or part of $28 pp. Thanks It is part of the $28pp. We got to pick as many appetizers as we wanted.

I'm still trying to get people to send me their pics, but meanwhile here are a few of our non-pro pics.
