copy the most recent list and add your names, BDW screen name, and wedding date ... looks like you'll be seeing other BDW brides while you're there!

Hello Dolphin !!!

 

Welcome - I'm excited to hear that you set your date at Dreams Cancun! My name is Tina and I'll be getting married June 12th. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions - I've found this website to be very helpful.

 

So have you decided where you are having your ceremony and reception - Clue us in to what you have planned so far - I can't wait to hear all about it and get to know you better!

 

Warmly,

Tina

Hi Tina,

I am doing the wedding in the Gazebo and planned the reception on the terrace. I just sent Claudia the first questionaire. I was wondering at what point do they ask for the deposit to hold the date cause we are not up to that yet....and that makes me very nervous. I am using Claudia, the reviews about Gaby made me very nervous.

I booked the time for 6:00 for the wedding, but I am a little concerned cause the last review I read the bride stated she wished she did it earlier to have pictures in the daylight. I wanted the later time to try to get pictures with the sunset, but I am not sure if that is a mistake. Someone asked about the time difference that hers was in November and ours will be in June..I am going to have to look into this a little further.

I just got back from Dreams in October and really fell in love with it.....If you have any questions about the hotel I can probably help with that.

Hey Tabitha,

 

I hear it is different for everyone - they are very flexible with the deposit. If they told you that they reserved your date for you then you should be fine, but I would initiate making the deposit just so you know it is definitely set. I sent my deposit via credit card back in July.

 

Everything works out the way it is supposed to - are you using Juan, the photographer at the resort? I am and I'm sure you can get the pictures that you want. You are getting married where there is beautiful scenery and even if a non-professional picture is taken, it will look great!

 

I'm getting married at the gazebo as well - we are expecting about 20-25 people. I am having the cocktail hour on the terrace and the reception on the beach. I just got my dress last weekend and it was a very emotional experience for me - I'm getting so excited! We went to dreams last July and loved it - we saw a wedding there and fell in love with the venue.

 

Can't wait to hear more about your experience!

 

Tina

Tina, I did exactly what you did... cocktails on the terrace and reception on the beach. You will love it!!!!

Tina and Lucy - I'm considering the same - 20-25 people in the gazebo, cocktail hour on the terrace, dinner on the beach. But - eek - I don't know where to start or how crazy expensive I'm talking! I received some info from Gaby - so I know what the packages are, but I'm not sure of the little upgrades (looking at the Ultimate Wedding Package). Can you guys give me an idea of your budgets/upgrades (if you feel comfortable - I understand if you don't!) Thanks!!
