Its very helpfull just in case any one wants to plan their events around these: Monday: Football night (i think this is only b/c of football season) Tuesday: Caribbean party by the beach. Wednesday: Salsa night. Thursday: Rock concert by the beach. Friday: Mexican Fiesta by the main pool area. Saturday: Karaoke at the sports bar Sunday: Nunsense play at the meeting rooms.

Holy Crap...I am going to have a rock concert durning my wedding/reception!!! That is going to suck!!!! Maybe this way, I might not need a DJ ...that might save money...but that scares me! Rock concert? This wedding day is just getting worse and worse for me! I just want to get married and start the honeymoon!

I am also getting married at Dreams Vallarta, on a Thursday. We are having our reception on the terrace near the pool. I'm a little concerned about the rock n roll night aswell but usually this entertainment isn't very long. Will you let me know how yours works out? Also, anyone who has pictures from their own wedding, I would love to see them. I have already seen all of Marilu's pics, but I would like to see how the photographer from their package is.

Here are the menu options for your reception that Marilu sent me.

I am confused now, b/c Marilu told me the Rock Concert was on Wednesday evenings. Things don't seem very consistent...I am worried now with the things she tells me.

I cut and pasted the email she sent me. I understand your frustration. I emailed her in the past to see if we needed to place a downpayment but she never responded. She confirmed the date with me and said she has reserved it, but I would feel more comfortable if there was an actual contract and security deposit. Has anyone had this same experiance? When did you begin sending money?

 

BTW, thanks for the menu! All the food looks good. I'm wondering if I should omit a wedding cake?

For anyone getting married at Dreams...how early are you arriving before your wedding? It sounds like not much is planned until you arrive. I haven't booked, yet, and am concerened about that...

[amyh]

Has anyone decided on a cake yet?

 

Marilu let me know that no outside food is permitted by Dreams. She sent me a sample of a cake from the hotel, which i honestly hate! I don't like it at all!

 

Has anyone discussed this with Marilu?

 

Thanks!

I will be arriving 2 days before the wedding, but Marilu told me she preferred 3-4 days before, but since we aren't doing a legal ceremony, 2 days would still be ok. So must of our first and second day will be finalizing and picking out wedding stuff.

Hi Ann. I see you are getting married at Las Caletas. My fiance proposed to me there Dec. 2006. Have you been there? It's fabulous. My only concern with the place is the lack of electricity!! I worry about the heat and humidity. I was told by Nicole, the WP that there are fans but that's it! What are your thoughts on this?
