Oh my gosh Melissa your pictures are great! I was just there in March and my pictures didn't come out half as nice as yours did! Thanks for sharing!

Just a fun thread. I just got back from my Cabo Dreams site visit and I had so many yummy drinks! I'm going back to Dreams in October and I wanted to see if there were any yummy drinks you brides want to recommend. So what is your favorite drink and whats in it? There were two drinks I especially loved! The miami vice, which is half pina colada and half strawberry margarita. The other was a blended mojito! I literally had one of those drinks in my hand at all times, sometimes even both =)

Yeah, I don't think a dance floor is neccessary either. The Oceana Terrace is concrete and its a pretty good size, depending on how many people you have of coarse.

I actually haven't picked a package yet and Yarai my WC says I dont have to confirm which package I want until like a month before the actual wedding date. But I think i'm gonna go with the complimentary Paradise package. I have already found and confirmed most of my vendors so Yarai says that since I have my own vendors the Paradise Package would be better budget wise for me. Oh and for the brides that are working with Florenta flowers, they are the florist that Dreams works with. So Dreams can talk florenta flowers into discounting your total, because if you look at all the packages they pretty much come with a bouquet and boutonniere. Happy Planning Michelle!

Hahaha, yeah after awhile we did ask to have our drinks made a little stronger, and we did taste and feel the difference. Dreams has a different "drink of the day", all were sooo yummy!! If you don't like sweet drinks I recommend the blended mojito, sooo refreshing! Hmmm...maybe I should start a "What drinks to order at Dreams" thread...

Hello Ladies! Since I have gotten so many great ideas and options from this site I wanted to give back and do a little review of my site visit. My wedding is booked for October 26th, 2009 so we decided to do our site visit and stay at Dreams March 22nd through the 24th. It was my first time seeing and actually staying at Dreams and let me tell you, it was wonderful! Dreams: Overall a great hotel. All-inclusive is the best way to go when you want to gather a variety of people like we are for our wedding. The rooms were HUGE, and I only had a Jr Suite, I cant imagine how big the honeymoon or onebr suites are. The room was very clean. Maid and turn down service twice a day. The food at the resort was way better than I expected. All the resturants had good quality, fresh food with alot of variety between all the resturants. We literally ate every 2 hours , it was ridiculous! I ate more in 1 day than I do a whole week back home. Drinks were also very good. A little on the weak side, but then again all I kept ordering were pina coladas and blended mixed drinks. Once we started ordering mojitos and rum and cokes those were a different story. We did our tasting for the reception and honestly we had such a hard time deciding on what we wanted to serve at the reception because everything was good. We ended up going for the ahi tuna for our salad, and the surf and turf and salmon/scallop for our entrees and the tiramisu for our dessert. I've craved that tiramisu everyday since we've left cabo. WC Yarai: We met with Yarai to go over our wedding plans. To all the ladies that are working with Yarai: you are in very good hands. She is awesome! She gave us a variety of options and always kept our budget in mind. She is very organized, professional, and very easy to work. DJs: We met with both DJ Ricardo and DJ Mijares during our site visit. We were torn because both were very nice and professional. We ended up going with DJ Ricardo. His experience was impressive, over 20 years as a DJ. We also felt that his style of DJ'ing was what we were going for. Rev. Marco.: Rev. Marco has such a wonderful calming presence about him. We talked about incorporating our filipino wedding traditions into our wedding. He was very accommodating and was actually very familiar with all our filipino wedding traditions. Theres no doubt in our minds that he will be able to deliver a very memorable ceremony for us, as well as our guest. And lastly, I know that with the crazyness going on in the news about Mexico right now safety is in the back of all our minds. Let me tell you, we felt totally safe the whole time we were in Cabo. Being an all inclusive, the Dreams resort had more security then other resorts we have stayed in. They really know who is coming and going at the resort at all times. I have found all the vendors and people that i'am working with on this site, so thank you to all the brides that have taken the time to write their reviews and answer questions. Planning my wedding would be a million times harder and more time consuming without this site.

Thanks Tammy for all the info! Its so awesome that you have so much communication between all the Dreams wedding coordinators and the resort!

Everything looks beautiful! All your hardwork truely paid off! Have a wonderful time!

Hello Wonderful Ladies! This is for those of you that have used BVP for your wedding videographer. I have read the reviews and everyone says that they were awesome filming at the wedding, but how did you ladies like your final product? Thanks!

SO many awesome ideas to chose from! I can't decide if I want to do the dry erase boards or post cards! Well I have 7 months to decide...Thanks for all the creative ideas!

I booked DJ Ricardo too for my October 26th, 09 wedding at Dreams. We met with him during our site visit last weekend. My fiance works with alot of DJ's and he was very impressed with DJ Ricardo's demo. He's been a DJ for 23 years and most of those years of experience were from being a club DJ so you figure he must be very good at reading the crowd and getting the music to flow. I got the $230/hr rate too.

Thanks for the review! Great details!

Thanks For the info! I too am also looking for an Officiant.

Congratulations Tara! Awesome review, thanks!
