Great Review! Congratulations!!

Wow, what a great review!!! Thank you so much, you have reassured me :-)

Quick question, when you say you didn't have to pay to set up the sound system for the ceremony, did you bring your own or did you use the resort's? They want to charge us $150 USD for setting up their sound system for the ceremony, and then $325 USD for setting it up at the reception: because of this, we have just bought a portable iPod docking station....

Gorgeous pictures by the way, you look absolutely stunning!!!!

I love your pics... you were absolutely stunning..Thanks for the review!. this makes me so excited, I have over a year.. but your review was great. Thanks for the tip about the room category.. we were debating about which one to select, ocean view or honeymoon.. Btw were you in the dreams or hacenda side.. were there really and differences between the two?

We ate from the buffet and the chef prepared the dolphin fish the guys caught earlier in the day for us! Like I said I’m a vegetarian so I didn’t eat it but our guests were amazed and everyone is still talking about the fish and the fact that they did this for us. The Chef even came out and presented it and what seasoning it had on it (he prepared it 2 different ways).

First, congrats and welcome back!! You were a beautiful bride, I can't wait for more pics!

What did you have to pay for the rehearsal dinner? For the projector?



Thanks girl!

Thank you From what I understood they normally charge $150 to set up the sound system for the ceremony but they did it for us for free. I think it may have to do with the fact that we have been booked for so long and we booked when there wasn't a charge for it? Not really sure nothing seems standard around there

Thank you so much! We were all in the Dreams side. The Hacienda rooms are nice as well they are just further away from everything. Almost all of our guests were booked in Hacienda and they were all upgraded.

Thank you for the compliments girls! Its so much fun!

We didn't pay anything for the rehearsal dinner! It was awesome and I would do it that away again. I paid $30 for the screen and I actually brought the projector with me from the states and I rented it for $100 (normally $300 but they gave me a break because I use the company for work). If you look on the first page of the Dreams Tulum page on here you will find the contact info for the guy who supplies all the AV equipment.

We used the resort photog. We thought he did great work we just wanted more If you're on a budget its great! Make sure you schedule a meeting with them prior.

Great review. Thanks so much for this information. Love the idea of the projector. Hope you're able to post some more pics. They were lovely and you both looked soooo happy!
