Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

Hey Ladies,

 

I've emailed Ana four times I think and she still hasn't gotten back to me so......I'm hoping one of you can! I'm going to have my invitations printed up very shortly but before I order them, I needed to know if I have to put the entree choices for my guests on the response cards. We are doing a sit down rather than the buffet with the Ultimate Package, and I know you have a choice of two entrees. Do they ask the guests at dinner which they would like or do I need to include it on the response card so the resort has that information ahead of time? I've been to weddings where it has been done both ways so I'm not sure!!! Thanks girls!

I don't think white napkins will look bad. I'm planning on just ordering overlays and then the matching chair sashes. Someone else on here (can't remember who) said they didn't order colored napkins and the white looked fine. The other thing you could do if you have enough time is wait until you get your overlays and then if you find fuschia napkins on another site, you could just order a sample to see if it matches your overlay?

It's based on availability so they won't be able to let you know until you get there most likely...we're hoping for it, but not betting on it.
My fiance will stay with one of his brothers if necessary.

Oops sorry I answered a question that was already answered! Sorry ladies.

 

After 5 weeks...Ana got back to me and answered all 7 of my questions...phew.

I just booked today and confirm May 9 2011 at 4pm.

 

Pretty stoked about it...it took me forever to decide on the right location and it came down to Dreams Riviera Cancun and Grand Princess and I am so pleased that I confirmed Dreams. I have absolutely no fears about anything since it's new and modern and beautiful...Knowing that Ana is a little slow eases my mind since I've read that she is great once you arrive so I will do what I can from here but will try to be relatively stress free until I arrive.

 

The (extremely long) countdown is on!

Congrats Lindsay! Deciding on a place and confirming a date is such a relief!

My wedding planner told us the same thing. It is based on availability that night.

Thanks jstock!! I will probably stick with the white then!

Hey Lindsay! Congrats on the confirmation! You are the day before me! Question: did you already give your deposit and contract or did they simply confirm your date? I was told by Ana & Yasmin that I have May 10 @ 5pm....and i've sent 4 emails requesting the contract so that i can pay deposit....and I have yet to get a response. It's been close to 2 months now!!! grrrr!
