I've been to Cancun 2 times in the past 2 years. The first was in Feb, the second in October. We didn't think much of the hurricane season. Yep, that's when the biggest, slowest, longest, hurricane Wilma hit. We had already had our vacation, but were stranded in a technology school sleeping on a tile floor because we had to be evacuated. We stayed there for 3 nights/4 days and an extra 2 days after the hurricane ended. While we were there, a couple had supposed have gotten married there. They missed their wedding and all their guests had to spend their vacation in the "camp". I'm only telling you this because we had originally planned our wedding for Oct, but after being in the hurricane for last Oct, we weren't going to chance it. Do yourself and your guests a favor, hurricanes have struck there in that season the last two years, you can almost bet on it for next October. IT doesn't matter if you have to change the invities -= it'll be worth it. Non-hurricane season (a little more expensive) is Jan - July I believe. Our wedding is costing $3,000 at dreams, our 11 night trip is $6400. Yes, pricey but believe me, you don't want to get stuck in that situation. Dreams Tulum is very nice. That's actually where we were for the hurricane - only it was still Sunscape and in the process of remodeling for Dreams. It has a nice beach, very private, great people, nice rooms, and a small cute indoor chapel. You would love it there. They had a pool and lagoon, now I believe they added another pool. We are hopping down there for the honeymoon. Will post pics upon return. For anyone who is getting married in Dreams Cancun, they also offer the option of the terrace setting with tiki torches. That's what we are going with. I assume there will be room to dance there. It has the same effect of being on the beach, with sand close by.

Thanks for all of your input on October Weddings, but some of us have already set dates and moved forward with our wedding plans....Good luck with all of your planning
