I got them... The toasting flutes we bought for the reception broke so we ended up using them for the at home reception.. The are pretty..and free

We had our hair done but nobody had make up done. I loved my hair! It was better than I ever thought! I was a little nervous because they do not speak much English... But it was awesome!

They gave us 10 additional guests at dinner for the cocktail hour. Let me know if you have any more questions.

We had 44 guests and swapped our cocktail hour for dinner.. It worked out perfect. All of our guests went to a bar and hung out until it was time for the reception. My husband and I didn't miss anything while we were taking pictures. Also, we were still able to have a plated dinner. The only thing I would suggest with that is get rid of the dessert.. We didn't but ended up asking our DJ to move forward before it was served.

There was not a charge for a rehearsal.. However, if you want a rehearsal dinner then there is a charge. I don't remember exactly what it was but we chose not to have the dinner. Our rehearsal was in the morning and then we all just went to the beach together.

I wore a veil... It was under my hair and I loved it!! It def made me feel like a bride It was pretty windy.. But Cecilia tucked it in the back of my dress.. The pictures looked really cool.

I worked with Cecilia.. She was amazing! She wasn't very responsive before the wedding but everything went VERY smooth on my wedding day. She had everything under control and exactly what I wanted. She upgraded our cake for free and got us moved to the honeymoon suite when they messed up our room.

We used Adventure Photo for our wedding and we were VERY happy with them. The pictures turned out awesome. Each additional picture was $15 and the entire CD was $500. They were not flexible at all with the prices. Here is the link to my slide show. http://tatumreed.dreamsresortcancun.adventurephotos.com.mx/index.html#/slideshow-1/

It is time consuming but very helpful! Trust me I understand how frustrating it is not to get a response.. But seriously don't worry. Everything was PERFECT!

I finally posted my review! Let me know if you have any questions

I had my hair done at the salon and LOVED it!! It was the exact picture I showed the stylist.. They don't speak English very well so make sure you have a picture of what you want.

I will second the no bug thing...we got married a day after Leigh and they were no flying bugs on the resort. We played golf about 30 minutes away and there were especially when it got dark. But not one at the resort.

When we first checked in they put us next door to my husband's parents which would not work out. We requested that we be moved but all that was available was double beds in the preferred tower and it was $90/night for an upgrade. We had 20 rooms booked under our group for the wedding so I was a little ticked they were charging but we were moving regardless. When we talked to the WC she couldn't do anything about the charge but she did move us back to an ocean front honeymoon suite with a king size bed. It ended up working out but we are still not happy with the charge....

I would recommend the ocean front room or the preferred tower.. Unfortunately we had some issues with rooms and stayed in both. The view is AMAZING from both spots. My parents had a dolphin front room and did not care for it. They could hear the dolphins all through the night and said it smelled.

We just got back! Our wedding was Tuesday and it was amazing!!!! Cecilia was WONDERFUL! She put our centerpieces out and everything looked perfect. We had our reception on the terrace and I loved it! Luis was our DJ and did a great job! I will be working on my review next week!

We leave this Satureday for Dreams! Everything is packed and ready to go!!!!

We experienced the same thing.. We did not get credit for the rooms our guests booked online or through another TA. Dreams is pretty strict about that. I will tell you we had 15 rooms and got 2 free. They gave us a heck of a deal! Good luck with your guests!!

Hello Everyone...I didnt mean to alarm anyone. We received this back from Claudia and I think everything will be fine. Wedding at the Gazebo around 4 will not be affected...but might have to move reception from terrance. We are going to decide when we arrrive at Dreams. The hotel always has been having this kind of events for the entire guest, on Tuesdays we cerebrate a Mexican fiesta with a buffet and Friday’s is forCaribbean night show. Dinner starts at 7 and ends by 11 pm, the show s around 8:00 to 9:30 pm with some mariachis, Mexican dancers but not extremely loud. Your reception dinner will be from 6-9 pm, so will be almost at the end. By ceremony time will be no problem at all. The whether so far has been raining so far this last 2 weeks and when is a little chance of rain they move the show to somewhere else, so there is a chance to have it with no event beside yours. Your wedding is important to me as is for you; I’ll talk to whoever I need to talk with in order to have the place with no loud music than yours. If you want me to call you, please give me the phone where I can reach you. Regards!

Hi Brides, See the below email I received from the wedding coordinator today. Anyone that has been there know how the mexican fiesta works? Do you think our wedding will be affected on the Gazebo or the reception on the terrace? Is the fiesta around the whole resort or just in one place? I can't believe she is telling me this 3 weeks before the wedding!! Dear Natalie: I just realize that there is another hotel event on the Beach next to the gazebo, the same afternoon, in fact every Tuesday and Friday, are you ok with that? Tuesdays is the Mexican fiesta from the hotel to all of the guest and they play kind of loud music, since you are located for dinner on the terrace you will have the music on your wedding. Do you wan to change locations for reception dinner? Cecilia Rangel Thanks girls!!

Do you wan to change locations for reception dinner? For the flowers the one you select has white and yellow flowers, do you want me to add purple? Find the bridesmaids bouquet options, any from there is $65 usd +115 tax and the additional buttonier (over 2 that comes included in the package) are $15 usd +115 tax each, fin d the files attached. For ceremony rehearsal is fine for Monday morning after our meeting. Cecilia Rangel Thanks girls!!

Leaving Nov 5th Married Nov 8th

Thanks for the info! That is exactly what I was thinking.. A dinner the night before the wedding as a "welcome" dinner and then the wedding day activities.

Hi All, I am getting married in November and trying to figure out what if anything you are planning for your guests to do besides the wedding. They guys are golfing and I am thinking about a spa day for the girls... Anything else you guys are doing? Thanks!

We are also doing the buffet option since we have over 40 people coming down. If you have any information on the menus and such please post. If email is easier please forward to [email protected] Thanks so much....we are under 100 days now!!!

You too clgriffi7 .....even though you already will be married
