Oh Nos! Coordinator delays at Dreams?

[michelle1031]

So I am super panicky - dates have opened up for reservations at Dreams at Los Cabos for January 2010...I have been in contact with Yesica (the coordinator for Dreams) for a couple of months...now we are ready to book, but it seems like everything is done by email!!!! This of course means days/weeks of waiting for a reply!!!

 

Has anyone else worked with her? How was your wedding there? Are the prices really what they say they are, or do they try to nickel and dime you? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I am working with Yesica and I also booked our wedding date 14 mos out. I actually called her a few times until I finally got a hold of her to secure the date. I found it more reliable.

 

As for the rest of it, you can use the "search" tool in the top right hand corner of the forum page. There have been alot of brides who have had weddings at Dreams. Just look around for their wedding reviews, comments etc.

I had Yesica as my coordionator it was so hard to get intouch with her(phone, email). I would leave her messages without return. Finally I asked to have my coordinator changed.

I've been working with Yesica and just recently booked my wedding for Nov. 2009. She provided with a response within 24-48 hours (which I think was reasonable). Also, I did call her a couple of times and was able to get right through. Good luck.

Mariana was my coordinator at Dreams and it does take several days for a response. In most cases, an immediate response is not necessary but in this case it may be more important to you. I would definately get on the phone and lock in your date. After that you have plenty of time so you eventually get used to the delay. It takes some getting used to, as I really get in the groove and want to make a bunch of decisions all at once and finalize everything immediately. It was hard for me to adjust but I eventually did and even toward the end, I knew my WC would respond when she could so I didn't let it stress me.

 

As far as nickle and diming, that was not my experience at all. Dreams was very accurate and charged me exactly what was quoted, if I caught a mistake they fixed it right away. I did not find any hidden fees, extra charges or suprises. I was thriled with the service we received from our WC and our experience at the resort. Good luck!

Yeah, Yesica is very busy, but she does get back to your eventually. I also called her via telephone just to have a personal touch. I also told her the dates I wanted so she could go to her calendar and tell me if they were available from the get go.

I also have Yesica as my wedding coordinator. I only waited about one week to confirm our date (and that was only 8 months before our date). Although we are getting married during the week as the Saturday was taken, but we don't care! Our guests and ourselves are there for the whole week anyways!

I find it does take a while for her to get back to me via email, but at this time nothing is really urgent anyway.

The only thing I have found is that Dreams may charge slightly more for things then external vendors. For example, to "upgrade" my bouquet at Dreams they told me $150.00 "with discount", however a external vendor has quoted the same bouquet for $95.00. Because of this I am doing MORE research into external vendors.

I too was wondering if they add extra costs once we get there
