I know everyone on here told me it may take a little while, but I dont understand how hard it is just to set my date!! I don't need them to do anything else until it gets closer to the wedding...My Travel agent (my new one...not the one that filled the same online request form that I did and i still haven't heard from him!!) Anyway, my TA will take care of the travel and things like that (Obviously), but I can't even get prices until I set a date. My family & friends want to come, but they also need to know how much money they are gonna need for this and it's less then a year away (hopefully) I'm sounding like a broken record, but it's very discouraging :-( I'm so excited for this and it's like I'm stuck one spot! I know you girls have probably been there done that..LOL so thanks for letting me vent :-) my advice is - get a calling card, call the concierge, have them track down the WC and get them to verbally commit to date and email it to you. Continue to call until you have the email. I had to get people on the phone...before that it just wasnt happening - they are just too busy. (ps - i am a shelter mom of 3 - i so agree!)

I have actually been looking for your review because of the weather -cant wait to hear all the details!

Tell me have you sent your deposit already? what room did you decide to get? We were lucky enough to be able to go down for a quick site visit- so we gave aour deposit in person. I am pretty sure we are going to switch rooms- do 3 nights in a regular (deluxe) room and 3 nights in a club jacuzzi suite. (save a couple bucks) and then spend 2 night somewhere by ourselves TBA just to relax and be alone. maybe an adults only in playa ...still deciding!

I see that your getting married in June at Dreams Cancun..we have just started the process of booking ours there...we're waiting to hear back from the resort to see if our date is available...How long did it take them to get back to you, if you don't mind me asking Thank you! :-) to be honest - I had a hard time getting any feedback at first, and my original wedding date was given away after they told me they had reserved it. My advice is absolutely to get an international phone card and do all your original dealings over the phone -at least until your date is set.

(at least that's one of the things i told myself!)

Quote: Originally Posted by zorlack76 Did Claudia at Dreams talk to you at all about their vendor policy or obtaining credits for unused items in their packages?

Bo th are approved for Dreams, so the vendor question never came up. I did however ask about substitutions- i asked her what i could substitute for photographer, makeup application and musician -she said sound system (for ceremony only) cake upgrade, and drapery for the gazebo. I still might use the musician though... so im not sure what the deal will be. but if your not usingthe photog...i think you should at least get the sound sysyem AND another upgrade.

Thanks for the great list Morgan

Rosewood does look great.... that reminds me - i forgot to buy my lottery ticket!

I've worked for MAC for a few years, and wedding makeup is my favorite, so let me know if anyone has any questions!

welcome to the forum DC Bride!

i use a cheaper product "fix plus" from MAC. I am addicted to it. it refreshes your makeup so you dont look powdery or get the "makeup lines".

VERY COOL! - Love that underwater pic

I want to do more of a night wedding though- so it can be a little more private...well do the gazebo / beach. I can finally start planning the details!
