Thanks! I will request him then. Is the price included in the photos you get with the wedding package or is he an outside photographer?

Thanks! I will request him then. So is he not included in the photos that come with the wedding package? Is he considered an outside vendor that I need to contact on my own or can I just tell Ana I want to book him? Thanks again!

Hi ladies thanks for the reviews!! It really helps so much for us brides who can't do a site visit.

I know communication is a common issue for veryone with Ana but I can't believe I'm still waiting for her to respond so I can lock down my date and time!

Does anyone know if I can just call the resort to find out available ceremony times? Or is that only info Ana would have? I really want a later ceremony time and I was offered 11 or 2. So I asked Ana what days she does have a later time and now no respone for over a week.

I called Ana and was only able to leave a message with her assistant but she never called me back. On average, it's taken about 2 to 3 weeks for her to respond to me. I would just keep emailing until you get your question answered. She does end up responding even if it isn't very quickly. When I did choose a date of the ones she told me were available I didn't get an immediate response so I was a little freaked because I didn't want it to be given away. It wasn't though. She just took a long time to respond. Good luck!

i think you could go to costco and buy roses for the flowergirls if you didnt want to spend the 22.00.. not sure how much you get either.... but beware they might not have yoru colors...

As for the the overlay.. I think you should stick with one color.. only my opinion. Might be to much. I love the tables that light up underneath!! what are you doing for centerpieces?

Hi ladies!

 

I just got back from Dreams RC and it was AMAZING! We didn't realize it was a site visit until we got there, haha... we felt so spoiled there that all of the other resorts we went to visit just didn't measure up. Our wedding will be May 3rd, 2011. The quote we got for the first week of May 2011 was a bit over the top ($1946 pp txes included) but we're doing it anyway.

 

How are you getting everything to Mexico for your wedding? CPs, any stuff for guest totebags/gifts, etc. Are you shipping it there or bringing it with you in luggage? Are you worried about them asking questions at the airport if it's in your luggage?

 

Seems like a silly thing to worry about, I'm sure. Just wondering... thanks and congratulations to everyone!

CONGRATS!!! Isnt it so exciting! I would just bring them. You dont want to ship stuff and then it not get there because of customs.. I have heard some stories sooo beware! just ask maybe family or MOH carry etxtra bag on... You dont want to chance it!! btw THEY DO HAVE A sams club and costco I believe... I am gonna buy some stuff there that way I am not carrying so much...

Ana will take care of it if you just tell her you would like him. You could also e-mail him to see if he is available on your date. I did both. The pricing should be the same as the photo packages she sends you. It's kinda weird because of things I have read and from my own experience it seems that Ana doesn't like it when people contact the vendors on their own for pricing etc.. probably because Dreams puts a mark up of some sort on it.
