Hey everyone,
So I thought we had everything set for a wedding at Dreams on June 4th, 2010, however, after reading some reviews of the resort, my fiancé is really hesitant about having our wedding there. I know there are a lot of Dreams brides on this forum, both those who are already married, and those who are going to be, and I could really use some honest insight. Keep in mind we'd have between 50-75 people at the wedding, a few kids, and most people would be in the 29-50 age range (with most in their 30s).
The main concern is the quality of the food. We know the type of quality of the food our friends like to eat, and while you don't go to a resort strictly for the food, this would be quite a sticking point if it's not good. Most of our friends are from California, and expect high-quality, fresh food, especially when traveling. So if you have a strong opinion about this, and tend to really care about food yourself, I'd appreciate honesty. PM me if you don't want to reply to this message publicly.
The next concern is random stuff we've read like flies being everywhere when you're eating, waiters and room service folks demanding tips in order to give you your food/drink/whathaveyou, and finally, that drunken people are everyone, the noise around the resort is terrible, and guests are rude.
Finally, the whole guest pass fee for non-resort guests . . . I didn't originally think this would be a problem at all, but it seems to be a bigger issue by the day. Many people want to say at other resorts, and some have homes or timeshares. The fee for these passes could quickly get out of hand! Any advice or experience with this?
I really do appreciate any public or private feedback you can provide us, since this is such an important day. I know we all have different views of what's acceptable and what's not, but generally I'm just trying to gauge the real picture.
Tammy (my TA) and I are going to chat about this next week when I have real time to sit down and talk it through, but in the meantime, would LOVE your feedback.
Thanks much,
Jenn
