Hello Ladies...did any previous brides have their cocktail hour the night before?? I am wondering if im going to miss the cocktail hour because I will be too busy with photos and want my family in the photos also so they would miss it too?? or does the timing all work out?

I'm with you on doing the Love Package..I don't feel the Ultimate Package is worth another $700!  I would rather use that for more dinners..I did ask Ana if that means we have to pay for Ceremony Decorations - cause it's not included in any other package.  Haven't heard back yet..

I'm thinking of doing the "Love" package instead of the "Ultimate" which does not include the live music or video, and it looks like the smallest video package is $650.

I know there is at least one other bride on here getting married March 5th I believe wondering if you have had any luck getting in contact with anyone.  We are getting married March 4th & I cannot get an email answered so of course I am freaking out at this point!!!!  14 days away & no contact at all, this is horrible.  O yeah & we have no dj either.  Michelle

Hey Stoff. I am getting married March 7th. I will be there the 2nd. We are suppose to meet with Veronica on the 3rd to go over everything. I have emailed back and forth just a little bit but, it has been difficult. I figure I will just have to finalize everything when I get there. I do not even have appoitments for the salon because, I can not get in touch with anyone.

[Stoff]

Well we will see you there then.  I have no appts and no DJ.  No Stess!!!!    Hopefully we can meet up to at least say hello   Yes the emails are sparse to say the least...

Sorry, I should have clarified. The price on the Dreams website is not different; however, prices on other booking websites have increased in price. They are approx. $165/person/night on dates near the end of the year. I am hoping that the prices will decrease as it gets closer to December.

I don't mean to state the obvious, but for those of you who are having difficulty getting in contact with the coordinators, have you tried to call the resort? It is an international call, but I have contacted the resort twice this last week and I was connected directly with Ana. She was very helpful and answered my questions in about 5 mins. It will cost you a few dollars to make a quick call, but if it decreases your stress it might be worth it.

Why is the coordinator trying to charge me for the extra service fee?  Aren't we paying enough already.  Veronica said that we only get 3 hours of service for the reception and dinner and if it goes beyond that then we will have to pay extra.  I asked numerous times and Veronica is not letting me replace the cocktail hour for money towards dinner, she said that I can get an extra service hour but that's only 15 an hour per person compare to 26 an hour for cocktail per person, isn't that a little unfair.  I am soooo upset I seriously don't know what to do.  I wish I can just cancel everything with the resort, I hate this resort now.  This is suppose to be stress free.
