Has anyone had their reception on the garden? Is it super windy?

Are you talking about the stylist from the resort?

Ah I'm SO upset!! I wanted to do those so bad

I'm a Graphic Designer so I have made a monogram to brand our wedding That was what my Save the Date postcard looked like

My Fiance and I are staying in the Pyramid Honeymoon Suite! Everyone else is staying in Deluxe Ocean Front.

As soon as I got engaged I contacted Dreams to make sure I got the date I wanted! Once you go over 20 people, they charge you PER PERSON for cake. I think its $5 a person. STUPID because no one cares about the cake really haha so we got a small cake and if people want a dessert they can go order something at the resort. I don't think I'm bringing sashes because the white chairs themselves look gorgeous against the ocean, I love the contrast. DJ is good because they will take care of all the announcements for you, I don't think the technician would. How many people are you planning on having? We originally wanted 30 but now it's up to 50. Once you have 40 people you can have the buffet which we want, fajitas, flautas etc. We're from Texas

Thanks for making this thread Megan! Makes things A LOT easier. I'm getting married February 2014 and am also not planning on doing a site visit. I am a photographer and do not like the resort photographers work, they have multiple people working for the company so some may be better than others. I chose to use Juan Navarro, his work is absolutely amazing and he has great reviews. Any outside vendor you bring on there is a $150 fee. From what I've read, we can use decorations that past brides have left for future brides. Price wise, Dreams is ridiculous. DJ is expensive and so is the dance floor. I am already spending way more than I originally planned. You can choose to swap out items on the wedding package for other things. For example, I am not having a cocktail hour because there is a bar right next to the gazebo. Instead of having the cocktail hour I get comped for 10 extra people to eat. I am also not using their florist, I am using Maya Floral. In turn for not using that I get a sound set up for the ceremony and I get the gazebo decorated. I'm curious to how good the stylists are because my package comes with getting my hair & makeup done. We are having our reception on the garden because some of our guests are in wheel chairs. I'm thinking I'm going to pay the extra to have lights underneath the tables. I have only read reviews on Claudia and Cynthia and my wedding coordinator is Ruby, so I hope she does good work. Wedding favors I'm thinking koozies? They are light and people can always use them haha I will probably end up doing another favor as well. Things start to add up quickly, so I suggest asking yourself "Do I REALLY need it?" If any past brides have advice, please please share. I absolutely love this site!!

Hello fellow Dreams Cancun brides, past & future My package comes with having my hair done and make up done. Has anyone done this? What were your thoughts? Do you recommend anyone in particular? Thanks!! Ashley (Feb 2014 bride)

I'm getting married Feb 2014!!

What DJ are you using? The hotels prices are ridiculous

Hi everyone! Just got engaged today but I've already been planning for the past couple months and have decided on Dreams Cancun! Anyone have any particular advice? What is the best place to have a reception? I'm using Juan Navarro and an Maya Floral. Thanks!! Ashley
