My friend just started her own company (makeup & hair) and I am doing a couture bridal shoot on saturday with my church dress! Going to be a Rocker shot.. High Black boots.... so we'll see how they come out! Javier Oddo is the photographer and I CANT WAIT to see what he does with me!! SO exciting... We are shooting in Brooklyn NY!!!

Hey ya know what thats a great idea! I actually have another dress. We are getting married in a church the day before we leave for Mexico with just our immediate family.. I should take that one for the TTD.. great idea! Thanks for the advice and reassurance!!

great review! do you have pics of the bar and table set up's??

Thanks ladies!!! You have made me feel so much better! I couldnt even tell my BM's about my confusing state! lol My wedding is Nov 11th I would be willing to sell it after.. and I will not be taking part in a trash the dress underwater scene. lol

And what is the price range for wine? Is there any wine in the all-inclusive rate or only liquor? Thanks! Aubry they get you with the coupons.. Private dinner was like 160.00 -210?? as for wine you can have house wine for free... that was fine/ bottles were double what they were in the US. I used my coupon for a massage... 20 bucks off

I love it.. but my FI made a comment about it and he didnt know it was "the one".. now i cant stop thinking of the comment because i want him to bee like - WOW!!! all he said was shiney!!!!! i was sooo mad! I think it is STUNNING- Glam sexy and beautiful!!! So maybe he just said it....

Two things: Any ladies seen the lit up dance floor? I reserved it... Also the cocktail hr my the jacuzzi... how is that set up? Did they have the plexi glass over the jacuzzi? Ana mentioned bk in Jan that they should be getting that by the end of the year...

Wedding date: Nov. 27, 2010 Hi JPC we didnt stay in Master Suite but we asked to see all the rooms available. My wedding is Nov 11th and I booked the MasterSuite because thats the room I want that week.. They do upgrade you with your contract but i wasnt taking any chances because there is so many weddings that wkd... My friends booked the gov suite so I am able to walk out of their room the day of my wedding which makes me very happy!!

Allison, I am so happy that you were able to find them! i do love them too.. I think they are perfect and they were a great price!

I have been to one destination wedding and we got one bag for both of us. Maybe for people with kids we could just add extra kid stuff to those bags? Thanks! Yah we are only doing a couple bag, family bag, and the guys that are bringing random girls we will but a guy jute bag inside the girl tote!! lol and for girls that are rooming together we will each get a bag...

GOOD LUCK!!! You are going to have a great wedding!!!!

below is my old review of Dreams and Paradisus.. We obviously Picked DREAMS and I am VERY EXCITED!!!! Ok ladies here is some info from both our Paradisus visit as well as DRC... Anyway when we visited Paradisus we were given the Ambassador Suite. WOW the deck was HUGE! Living Room/Dining Room/Bedroom/Changing Area/Bar/and Butlers area! Bathroom shower quite small for how big the rooms were. A few things: The resort is beautiful- a bit big and felt a bit lost but beautiful grounds! Dont love the fact you have to wear a wrist band (feel like I am bk in my old Cancun days!) I really didnt care for the fact you have to make reservations to restaurants in advance. They were less than 50% occupied and couldnt fit us in at 8pm to the french restaurant (we had to have 7pm reservations) Kathythe sales manager was FANTASTIC! Cant tell you how on top of it she was except for the fact she forgot to mention we needed to reserve our chairs at the beach in Royal Service, We never met our butler because they were "a bit busy" they said. A bellman took us to our room. We didn't care then but it was a concern for our wedding and our guests that would be staying. Confused as to why they dont offer Oceanview Family Conceriage service.. Service at French Restaurant was pretty bad- waiter had an attitude, Pete doesnt drink wine so I didnt want to buy a bottle and he didnt even offer me a house wine (the woman next to me overheard conversation and told me I could get it- so then I asked) Wasnt very busy maybe 7 tables in the entire restaurant. Appetizers were EXCELLENT! Meals weren't that great- overcooked steak and fish. I asked for medium and it came well done. Couldn't even finish it. Dessert was great and waiter that brought us dessert was very sweet! We didnt tip our waiter- 1st time ever! I always tip! I felt bad telling Kathy since she comped us our room but we were quite surprised! Breakfast and lunch was great- service was wonderful! Scarce service at beach. I was asked if I wanted a drink once in 4hrs. I had to go to the beach bar that wasn't far though. I love the fact we can have a sit down dinner here. Table set up is great- good food choices. They said they could probably do surf & turf as well as chicken dish. I like this alot! I loved the fact that they were willing to work with us on all aspects. Welcome Party-comped as well as Rehearsal din at restaurant wouldnt be an issue. Plus other comps... I LOVE THIS... (This is why we are leaning towards Paradisus; but still not sure) will talk to Ana at DRC to see what they could do for us. Dreams was excellent- loved the rooms..as well as the FOOD-Trendy restaurants EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE! This place would be my 1st choice.. Decor of the hotel itself- lounge chairs all over resort. desires outside deck is beautiful for Welcome Party (fits 80). Great space in case it rains for wedding ceremony. I do NOT like ballroom floor (red) but she said we could have wedding reception in whatever closed restaurant if it rains. I liked that everything was pretty much together, not super far walks to get to everything. Nice gym and spa! Very new and clean! Cute coffee bar! Master Suite is amazing on left side where the wedding will be held by the end of the year! I think its room 1200s?? We also loved Governor Suite and PRESIDENTIAL SUITE WAS AMAZING! she said she would see if mgmt would let use for wedding night and she would check on rate. Hope this helps! We are leaning towards DRC but cant help but take a look at the huge savings of paradisus. My friend got married there and has RAVED about the service and staff! So we will work with Ana and decided! We will have over 80 guests staying at the resort.. Good luck ladies.. Its a tough call!!

Snapfish: Share:Registration My link to pics of our site visit!

I agree, the most important was it was new. You dont have to have your guests wearing those silly wrist bands that remind me of cancun when I was 18. Food was FANTASTIC! We went to do a site visit and LOVED the food. I have also stayed at their parent resort Secrets Capri and we stayed a week! We didnt GET SICK!!! Service was fantastic...Rooms are Beautiful!!! Close to Cancun and Playa.. Xcaret isnt far either! You will love this resort! I re-share my link to all my photos of our trip there.. Hope this helps!!! Janine Happy Planning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what to do!! Maybe I should just keep it? I do love it! Amanda, I am sure you will look STUNNING! Congrats!
