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

[mimi73]

Yes Congrats LeNell! I had a look at your pics. It looks like you had a perfect day! You looked beautiful

[underthesea]

Love your pics LeNel!  You were a beautiful bride!!

 

Just a quick question on centrepieces.  Does anyone know if DT has any large glass ones that you can use?  Or is worth just bringing your own?  We are thinking of doing some in the middle of the tables with shells, water and floating candles.

 

 

Bride + Groom + 30 guests booked!

LeNell thanks for sharing your pictures.  Your wedding looks beautiful!!!  I have a question...The 2 vases of flowers that were on either side of the canopy on the beach, did you have to send Landy a picture of those or was that a choice for you when you went down there?

Hey!

I'm booked for sure for May 3 2011.  It's coming so fast!

Can I get some opinions from the brides that did the later ceremony, the one at 5?  I'm scared we're not going to have enough time to do everything.  The reception starts at 7 I've heard.  By the time you eat dinner, do you even have time to do any dancing?  Do you still have to shut the music down at 10?

Thanks!  Any advice would be great!

Okay I know that this has been discussed before on this forum, but I just want to see if anyone can clarify this:  If you purchase the Dreams of Love or Ultimate package do you have to have the cocktail party?  Or can that just be skipped?  We are estimating to have 50+ people coming and having the cocktail party really cuts into our budget if we do the Dreams of Love or Ultimate Package.  We are leaning towards the Paradise package due to this.  Ugh decisions!! Oh and the other issue is that we wanted to hire an outside DJ for our ceremony and reception but Aurora's response seemed to say that you could not have an outside DJ for ceremony???

Hi, I'm getting married May 6th! So I'll be there for your wedding too! I had my wedding scheduled at 5 when I first booked but then I decided to change it to 4:30 just to give a little extra time for pictures and in case which of course something is sure to not go as planned.  I'm starting dinner at 6:30 and paying for an additional hour to make sure we have plenty of time to dance.

Hey!  Congrats!

How did you get them to move your ceremony up to 4:30?  I was under the impression that they wouldn't do that.  Because I would love to move it up to have that extra 30 mins for pics!  And do you know if it's 10 or 10:30 that the music has to be off?

My ceremony was originally scheduled for 4 p.m., and now it's at 3:30 p.m. I sent Aurora an email expressing concern because it gets dark really early in December (around 5 p.m.) and I wanted enough time for pics. She wrote back and offered the 3:30 slot. If you just ask, it shouldn't be a problem.

 

I've heard a few different starting times for the reception. From what I gather from here, it usually starts around 6:30 p.m., though Aurora had told me 6 p.m. If you get a package, only three hours is included, so 9:30 would be the end time. I am paying for an extra hour for my 45 guests, so we will go till 10:30!

You don't have to have a cocktail party if you have a package, even though it's included. I'm not. But just know the value of that can't be traded in for anything else. And yes, you can have an outside DJ for the ceremony. I am only having it for the reception, but I know you can have it for both.

A question for those ladies paying for the extra hour....how much is it? I think it's a per person cost??

 

Thanks!
