Wow 1 more month to go. You must be getting excited!

I'm glad I'm not the only one worried about the language barrier. I have this feeling that I'm going to be saying "HUH" through the whole ceremony. I hope it's not that bad.

Yep, that's right Jodey-- that's probably why Gaby thought you were asking to have a longer reception. Jill used an iPod docking station for dinner and dancing and it worked great and she said they don't come through after 3 hours and kick you out. We'll party for a while and do what you are doing mummergirl-- head to a free bar!

Kat and dmarie, your weddings are sooooooo close!!!!!! Yay!

Do you gals think it would be a bad idea to send the total amount we owe for the wedding to Dreams right now? I am paranoid about being able to save enough and think it will be easier on us to do that but wonder about the risks of doing that.... any thoughts?

Thats really bad I think, so baisically they wont let us stay on the terrace from 6pm - 8pm ( dinner ) then 8pm till 11pm ( partying / dancing ) ? WTF
That means the reception will be cut short and finish at 9pm if it starts at 6pm!!! I don't want to just go to a bar at 9pm I want to be dancing till at least 11pm !!! I am quite annoyed about this. Its no skin off their nose if we stay on the terrace with the equipment till 11pm suly ?? I didn't know this was an issue. So.... is it right that if we use our IPOD and docking station for the whole event they will let us stay on the terrace untill 11pm ? I don't get what the deal is with this, no wonder Gaby hasn't got back to me straight away GGRRRRRR.

Hi Samantha, personally I wouldn't, you never know what could happen, I'm sure everything would be ok but you never know. Plus I would rather the money be in my back account for as long as possible, better in yours than someone elses or do you mean pay for it all now on a credit card or something ? If so then again it wouldn't really matter wether you pay by card now or when you arrive or am I missing what you are saying completely ??

[JODEY]

Does anyone have the phone number including the code I would have to dial from the UK for dreams to get in touch with Gaby, I know people have had problems with this but I'm going to have a go. The number from the website is - 52 (99 848 7000 Do I need to miss any of the digits off ect ....

Thanks for your help !

I am not 100% sure about changing the location, but from all the messages I read on this forum, everyone who married in Dreams were able to change things here and there once they got down there.

Yes you can change the location on arrival, I have already asked this question - no worries there and yes I would say you can relax when you've done your Q & A : - )
