The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

[jaynreneewed]

I heard that the flowers Tulum has are much prettier in person. The borchure pictures are old and need to be updated

I used the resort flowers and loved them! I had white calililies and brought my own ribbon to tie around the stems. Loved them! They will work with you to make your bouquets the way you want them.

does anyone know if spa appointments can be made via email, or if I'll have to call?

I made mine through email.... (hair appointments for the wedding/massages) Jana Swich- [email protected]

We made our spa appointments via email. I would imagine you can still do so.

check out page 260 of this thread where I posted pictures of past brides' bouquets.

Also on page 1 there is a list of the flowers (and colors) that are available as part of the regular package.

You could email Aurora and ask her what types of flowers they have available (at no extra charge), and see if there's something from that list you like.

Thanks
I will definitely be emailing Aurora about my options. Thanks again

Do they serve champagne at the bars upon request, and is that free?

Yeah the champagne is usually served on the beach right after the ceremony if there is no cocktail hour, for the cake, some people do it right after and others do it after dinner.

I am curious about the DJ services that they provide. I saw some reviews that said they used DJ Mania. Is that a DJ at the resort or someone that was hired from outside? The resort charges something like 250/hr for the DJ so I'm just wondering what is included in that cost. Do they have a good/loud sound system with lights/disco balls etc? Also we have a long list of songs that we would like them to play, but not enough to last through the whole night. Can we just bring our ipod with those songs loaded with instructions for when we want those songs played and have them add in songs from their database throughout the night? Any brides who have had a large group like us and had the buffet dinner option? Does it cost the same as the silver or gold packages when it is buffet and not table service? Thanks for any answers/insight!

DJ Mannia is an outside DJ. A lot of people choose to book him instead of the resort DJ because he has a very good reputation. He's more expensive than the resort DJ, but a lot of brides have said it's worth the cost.

Yes the buffet service is the same price as dinner option (although there isn't as much service, you do get more choices and more food so it balances out)

I was really impressed with my bouquet, it was exactly as I described. We saw approx 10 other weddings at the hotel whilst we were there and the bouquets were all really beautiful. I'm guessing at least some if not all of those were done by the resort.
I would say save any excess costs in this area, the hotel seem to do a super job.
