2010wedding

"We stayed in room 750 which was a normal room but with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The 7th floor is priviledge club and it is very nice. The upgrades are expensive but we were happy with what we got." Mylene- anything above the 4th floor is good then for the ocean view? Love love your pics.....stunning my friend!!

I'm not having a ton of luck talking to Gabby, Jennifer's assistant on getting any info on what the HM package entails or how to go about upgrading to the Preferred Club. She deferred me to Jacy? Any tips?

[email protected] New emails all around for DPA!!

Also you are travelling in the "winter" so I think the room rates during your time of year are higher. I just re-read a earlier post from marringhimagain around #144 and she explains that the HM is like a standard room but with a Jacuzzi outside. Not as nice as the standard rooms. I think I'm going to ask for the Preferred Club for the 2nd week maybe.... Dee- Do you know if you are the only wedding on your day?

What I did, with the GM was use my upgrade form air canada, the upgrade from the resort for the group and everything I was not using from my package to go towards the room. What that gave me is going from the garden to marina and then marina to ocean view and then we got a discount that we use for the priviledge club, that is to be on the last floor. The suites seemed nice but I dont know who pays for them wow. Furthermore , the ocean view was breathtaking but noisier then the marina view. We found the privilege club upgrade to be worth it. Let me know if you have any other question and agian , I am still working on my complete review and also trying to post pictures! My family was on the third floor with no one above them around room 311 and they had a nice quiet view of hte marina NOT on the restaurant, just beside. If I go again I will ask for those instead! Talk to you later Mylene- did you talk to the GM before you got there then to settle all the upgrades?

[email protected] New email for Jennifer...just got it sent to me.

"If you want a bigger room ask for the upgrade, per the GM its a standard for B & G. If they give you a hard time ask for GM. We didn't do this but when checking out GM told us that we should of asked for him..." This was an old post too from Jgomez. Thoughts?

This was a quote I saved from an old post. Did anyone ask for an upgrade instead of the room for the groom? I thought it was you Ginalyn!! I heard back from Gabby and she quoted me $1000 a night for the master suite!! We already have the deluxe Ocean View room so is the master suite the only other upgrade they can give?

You can click on "Search this thread" and search for spa menu or something like that. It should pop up! Good luck! Update: I just looked it up. Post #856. Good to know Ginalyn, that's what Chris and I have booked right now! A gal on the Dreams FB site said that floors #4 and 5 have really big balconies too!

Hi all- A month today I'll be walking down the aisle!!! Woohooo!!!! We are doing gazebo for ceremony and for the reception, I haven't decided. I want to look 1st I think. I like the lagoon/adults pool and am curious about El Patio. We went with the Ultimate Package so our dinner is the Gold menu I think?

Quote: Originally Posted by mwcfarms I know, getting super antsy and excited. Can not wait. Hey did you get a different photographer for the resort or no? I didn't. We looked into it again and decided that if the resort photos weren't ok, that we'd get a pho-tog in the summer at our 2nd reception in Saskatoon. I'll admit, a little worried about the photos.....

I'm still laughing about the Jonas Brothers pants!!! I'm sorry to laugh....glad you got in and out of Calgs safe and sound! 29 days my friend!!!

Friday I have to go the Harry Hays building to pick up my passport. Did I mention how much I hate downtown Calgary lol and then go try to find more pants lol. Oh well. Talk to you all soon. Maybe I will be able to post pics of my bags soon. What about the Banana Republic Outlet in Balzac or Deerfoot Meadows? I was just there last night looking for work pants and they had a 40% off sale on top of their sale. I got pants for $40 reg. $90. Ya....Echo and I need to help you so you are not anywhere close to DT Calgary...its a zoo!

I love them! Blue (shades of I guess..) are our colors too! I think they look great. I am doing a full bouquet of red roses with blue ribbon. I think.....

I have a majillion things to do it seems. Thanks for listening gals and thanks for the email Meghan. I checked when I got home too and its all square. Talk soon ladies. Its all going to be spectacular Dee....not to worry!

Quote: Originally Posted by SassyCass Thank you! Yes, Sandra confirmed our 3rd choice for a date, but we (I should say my TA) was able to work it out. We are officially set for 10/01/10 at 3:00 p.m., with our reception at El Patio! I am so excited and relieved!! The comments and reviews were EXTREMELY helpful in choosing DPA! Hi all- SassyCass- that's great news, congrats. Did your TA help you secure El Patio too? I am still on the fence about where to have the reception and thought we couldn't book El Patio until we got there? Should I try and book it in advance gals?

We are!!!
