I will say that some of the samples I saw looked a little outdated. I saw some some pictures of one of the brides on this forum taken within the last year on the Dreams Tulum facebook account. I know she posted the pictures here as well but I can't remember her name. User Dreams425 also used the resort photographer. One other point that I believe has been mentioned before is that I don't think there is only one photographer that works the resort. The samples we see might not be the photographer we get. Check out page 1 of Sunbride's review. She posted the links of most reviews and photos. In the summary that we all filled out and posted here people usually state whether they used the resort photographer or someone from the outside.

I have a question. Now that it seems the only option for a reception is to pay mega $$$ (for those with a guest list above 20) for the gold and silver menu are any of you planning on doing a rehearsal dinner or something to welcome all the guests? I wanted to do a bonfire but it doesn't sound like that is an option any longer Also, I am not sure if this has been answered lately, but does anyone know what the nightly schedule of events is? i.e. Mexican and Caribbean fiestas, fire dancers, etc.

Hi everyone! I have been reading this thread for a while and have gotten so much great info to help me with my planning. Reading past brides reviews makes it so much easier to get a picture of what I can expect. I am a little disappointed though as it seems the resort is not as flexible in 2010 as they were for previous years. At least most people seem to continue to be very satisfied with their wedding and experience. Here is my info: Username: L&A2010 Names: Ashley & Luis Date & Time: November 1, 2010 Wedding package: Ultimate Wedding extras (through the resort): Still unsure Outside vendors (cost charged by vendor and any fees charged by the resort): Possibly using an outside photographer Type of ceremony: Legal Coordinator: Aurora Number of guests: approx 44 Ceremony location and time: Beach at 4 Cocktail hour location and time: undecided Reception location and time: undecided - poolside? Photographer: I want an outside photographer for wedding and TTD and hope that I can use the resort photographer for something else Videographer: Resort Review (link): N/a Photos (link): N/a Video (link): N/a Planning thread (link): N/a Wedding website (link): working on it Special arrangements / activities: Ruins tour

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I really appreciate the links to photographers and such, as I am trying to decide whether to use the resort package or an outside vendor... I am off to scour those threads:) This forum is GREAT!!

Congratulations! My FI is from Puerto Rico so I have been there several times in June - it is beautiful at that time of year.

Hi! I'm Ashley and I have just reserved my wedding date for Nov. 1, 2010 at the Dreams Tulum Resort. I am so grateful to have found this site - it is such a good resource to get a better understanding of this overwhelming process. Thanks to all the brides that have shared their reviews!!
