I sent an email to jmb0902 about the potential to buy some things from her,when she is done with them (wedding date: Nov. 28th, 2009). She lives about an hour and 15 min. from me so I could easily go pick up the items she is willing to part with. Just like her, I too liked Starlitk's set up with the paper lanterns (light green, white, aqua), and chair sashes (aqua), so I am hoping to get the hand me downs and we can share the costs, or work out something! I will shoot you an email when I get more information from JoAnn! Congrats! I look forward to meeting you Memorial Day weekend 2010! Whoop whoop! Please feel free to email me any questions or concerns you come across (hoping that we don't have any issues).....but if we do, we can work together too resolve them! I got your back if you have mine! ;-) TTYS!

Ummmmmmmm, how does this works, my wedding is @ 6p.m. pm the same day. I'm having my wedding on the beach.. Are you having a beach front wedding also?/

I am planning my wedding for August 26th ish 2010. Is anyone else getting married the same time...or even the same month. Has anyone ever been to Dreams Tulum in August. Would love to hear some feedback.

No, I don't know why but it worried me, it looks like it's lost! None of the links for my review work (in my signature or on page 1). I will contact the forum admin about that.

Well it sounds like many ladies have been quoted this, although it's the first I hear. I'm not surprised though, I mean, when you think of it, it's extra work for them. They spent a couple hours doing my special setup for free, that just doesn't really make sense (maybe if you are already paying a lot for the more expensive package and for private reception, etc, but not when you are using the free package). At least 2$ per chair isn't that bad, I know I would have been happy to pay that price to have my sashes put up. But yes, it's annoying to have these costs pop up unexpectedly, and especially that some people are quoted 2$ and others 3$. It would be great if they had a nice long Wedding Guide that included all this info.

She said if they supply chair sashes, it was $5 per person, but if I bring them, then its $2 per person for set up of sashes on chairs. Also,she said if I choose the dreams ultimate package, the white tulle on the gazebo is free, but if I bring colored tulle, then it's $60 for the setup. If I choose the free package, then I have to pay $150 for white tulle on the gazebo, because they don't provide that with the free package. That seems a little strange to me...they would just have a bare gazebo for your wedding unless you pay the $150 extra? Also, with the free package if you bring your own tulle, they will charge you $60 to set it up. Has anyone else who had the free package recently experienced this? Did you have to pay the $150 (if you didn't bring tulle) or $60 (if you did bring your own tulle) to have the gazebo decorated?

Well the basic set-up with the white tulle (the way they do it in the guide, with the tulle just wrapped around the poles) has always been free, I think with the free package they want you to pay if you have the more elaborate set-up (similar to what I had) as it takes longer to set-up (regardless of the color). I'm not sure, but I'm thinking maybe that's what they mean about the 60$ charge (even if you bring your own tulle).

I am getting married on January 26 2010 does anyone know what the tempurture is supposed to be like in the evenings there at that time.

LaNell-

I was just quoting what you wrote....I am still learning how to use post through the thread properly, sorry for the confusion...I am getting married on May 30th, 2010 at 5pm, not the same day/time you are. That is YOUR day! :-D My bad.

[*Krista*]

Sunbride - thanks for your message! I think you are probably right. I couldn't imagine them just doing the bare gazebo, but I wanted to hear some other people's opinions about it. That also helps me, cause now I don't have to worry about hauling a ton of tulle!

 

Freckle - I hope you have a fantastic time! Your wedding will be beautiful! Can't wait to see pics!

So for the review links, it turns out that when they did surver upgrades all the old links changed, so those threads still exist but the links are different, I'll have to do individual searches for each of them, and then update them all.

 

In the meantime, just use the search function. For example, to find my review, you could search "review" and then "sunbride" for poster and then add the date limits of April 1 2008 (my wedding date) to like June 1 2008 (if you don't put the dates, you will get a huge number of threads in which I posted the word "review")
