Site visit review and pics - Dreams Tulum

[debla1]

I am getting married at Dreams Tulum on May 10, 2008. I am getting married in the Spanish Chapel at 3pm and reception on the beach at Seaside Grill, if it is still available. I read your post online and I have a few questions for you.

 

What is the arch thing on the beach with the bamboo sticks? Is this for the wedding or receptions?

Is there room in the back for guests to stand in the chapel? Landy told me there was room for us to put white chairs for guests, but I am a little nervous about it.

Also, we just found out that through Apple Vacations they only reserve rooms in the Haceinda or “old†section of the resort. Did you see these rooms? Are they bad? We have tried several times to upgrade our rooms but the resort is booked.

If you have any photos of the bars, hotel rooms, church or Sea Side grill, I would love to see them. Any recommendations?

I am so excited about going to Mexico. We have 40 people attending including the bride and groom. I am getting a little nervous about traveling with my dress and favors.

You should try to posting in the "dreams tulum brides please post here" thread. Most of us DT brides communicate through there and if you read it (it's long!) you should find all your answers.

The sticks you are talking about is their version of a gazebo built for the ceremony. There definitely is room for chairs in the back of the chapel. Also room to stand on the sides of the pews. I have a large wedding but I still opted to use the chapel b/c its gorgeous!

The hacienda rooms are the "bottom of the line" but from what I've heard are decent enough. I've only stayed in the "dreams" rooms and those are definitely nice.
Again, check out the other thread. We have a great group of brides exchanging info on there! Good luck!

Great pics from the site visit!

 

I wish we had thought to take more pics of our wedding resort. Did a great job of the honeymoon resort but didn't get any generic pics of the surroundings at the DW resort, which is a bummer for us.

We're having about 55 people. Give or take 5 or 10. Not sure yet.
