I am so unhappy right now BUT then for fun I checked "Quintana Roo" and it's not as bad! Does anyone know where exactly I should be checking the weather to be right around drc?

I had the same issue and it showed rain everyday we were there but that wasn't the case at all. I realized if there is even a chance of rain for just 5 minutes out of the day then the forecast is going to show rain... So try not to worry!!!!

So I have just switched resorts from Barcelo to Dreams Riviera Cancun, originally I was to get married July 20th but I was so unhappy with how Barcelo was handeling everything I decided to take my business else where. So sadly I had to change my date to July 21st!! It has been so crazy the last week and stressful!!

 

I already have my photographer booked do you know if they allow outside vendors? I keep getting different answers from different WC at the resort and when I read online. It looks like a beautiful resort and I hope everything goes smooth from here on out! Especially since I am only 5 months away now!

 

If any past brides have any tips or want to share anything at all with me I would greatly apppreciate it! My email is [email protected]

 

I am doing the Ultimate Wedding Package and I am expecting about 50 guests. Did anyone use the resorts DJ? And whats the best location for the Cocktail hour?

 

Hi Daneli...  We are also getting married at Dreams on July 21st!!  It will be great to be able to compare notes up until then!

Agree with Rach! Don't worry about what the weather shows! There was rain in the forecast almost every day and the only day it rained was the day of the wedding day (the day it had 0% chance of rain!!) There are sometimes afternoon rainstorms for like 5 minutes and then it will stop. 

 

Just remember that if it does rain, they have back up plans! We chose to have everything outside and mother nature does what it wants to do! And everyone at Dreams makes it work if it does rain!

Somewhat unrelated to the wedding, but some of my guests are bringing babies and children, and they've been asking me about what to bring and what will be provided.  Does anyone know if there is baby food available, either in jars, or pureed/blended options?  And also for the pool - are there water wings, floaties or life jackets (or anything similar) that small children can use in the pools?  And does the resort provide any sand/beach toys, or should parents pack those?

Thanks!!

Hey Brides,

 

I haven't been on in awhile because I've been extremely busy with work and school so I am a little out of loop. I also haven't contacted my WC in about 3 months .

 

Does anyone know the procedures for having a sit-down dinner? And what is the additional cost, if any? I am expecting approx. 40 guests and I would like to give them the option of a steak, chicken and fish option? I would like to include this on our RSVPs (which I would be sending out in early April). Please help! Lol

I think we brought a good amount in cash but definitely paid for the whole wedding on a credit card.  Have a blast!!!
