Yep, they did that for us!

We used the dj. I didnt want to worry about any of that. He did great! We recommended a few songs which he played most of them and then he added his own. All good dance music!

Hey! I just got back from Las Caletas. Our wedding was on the 16th. It rained for our wedding but it didnt stop us. We powered through it. It was actually pretty nice and fun. I made it through the ceremony and first dance before it started to sprinkle and proceeded to pour. They do clear out tables and make room for a dance floor where you'd normally eat! Everything turned out perfect. There was nothing I could do to stop the rain so I just went with it! Good luck! Everything will turn out perfect!

We are having our "welcome dinner" at Dreams as well. We are meeting for cocktails at one of the hotel bars and then heading over to Mexican Fiesta night. All is free. They even reserved space for us.

ugh! I just got an email from Dennise about the photographer fee. I had asked her if I needed to include the photographer in our head count and she replied "Depends, if the photographer is a friend and included in your wedding it is only$ 50 but if its an outside photographer there is a $300 extra fee". I should have never asked that question. My contract right now says $50. So frustrating. I'm trying to fight it but we'll see what happens.! I booked about a year ago and that charge was NEVER mentioned.

Thank you!

Thank you! Does anyone know what time the bus picks the guests up at Dreams P.V.? I'm trying to make a pre-wedding brochure and need to include that info. I have an email sent into Dennise but I'm just awaiting her reply!

Does anyone know how much it is to get only the makeup done for bridesmaids?

I had a hard time with this as well. I put "beach formal" on my invitations. I'm sending a brochure out as the wedding gets closer and I'll include more specifics like woman can wear sundresses and men can wear collared shirts with pants. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thank you! I emailed them and they said they had it confirmed. I'll follow up with them since the dinner isn't until June! Do any of you know how much the Romantic Dinner on the beach is? We are thinking of getting our parents that as a gift and a way to say thank you!

Thank you for this info!! so helpful. How far in advance did you reserve the tables for Mexican Fiesta night? I think that's what we are going to do.

Does anyone know if we have to bring our own ribbon/fabric to wrap our bouquets? Are you able to request which color is used?

For the recent brides...is it still true that if you opt out of the site visit you're able to use those boat passes towards the day of the wedding for any extra people to go over with you and the bridesmaids? I had heard that but I just wanted to make sure. I think its kind of silly they make us pay $76 for more than 4 bridesmaids. P.S. Both of your weddings looked beautiful. It got me more excited for mine!

I was just curious how people set up their tables. Did you have the bridesmaids and groomsmen at their own table or did you mix them in with the other guests? Thanks, Jennifer

Hi Kenna, Its good to know someone else is in the same position. They also quoted me that amount to rent out a restaurant. The price is ridiculous. I looked into River Cafe in the downtown area and that is also pricey (at least in my opinion). They want $38 per person for 3 course meal and $10 pp for drinks plus 15% gratuity. We have about 50 people coming. We wanted to have our welcome dinner on Friday night at El Patio at Dreams but the restaurant is closed that night due to the Mexican Fiesta they have. So, we're either going to have a bonfire on the beach (still need to get a quote on that and it might be redundant since Las Caletas has one as well), attend the Mexican Fiesta they have or just have welcome drinks at one of their bars. I'm confused on what to do. Jennifer
