[carimcn]

hi there! the plan is to get married in mexico (riveria maya/cancun area) in ealy november 2008. i am currenty interested in the el dorado royale and the new dreams resort opening in early 2008. i would appreciate any insight on how to best work with the wedding coordinators. the plans they have provided me are helpful but i plan to have 50 guest not the 10-20 they specify in the packages and i am having trouble figuring out how much everything will cost! also, are any of you working with your own wedding planner? thank you in advance for your help & insight!

Have you been to either resort?? Have you been in contact with the wedding coordinators there?

 

I stayed at EDR last March, and while I was staying there, I was trying to get ahold of the W.C. and couldn't!! I thought for sure they'd pay attention to me because I was already there! Nope, it wasn't until I marched up to the office and asked for her time that I got her attention... and then we arranged for an appointment the next day! lol. Anyways, just a heads up, that might get a little annoying!

Oh.. but I forgot to add - I LOVED the resort. I wasn't the biggest fan of it's sister resorts, but I really did love EDR. I would happily have my wedding there if they allowed children.

if you look under the accomodations area there is a bunch of info on EDR and there are prices for the different costs.

 

if you want a private reception for 50 there is a menu and you have to pay for each item ie. salad, etc. and have to have the venue booked.

 

with edr you are not allowed to use an outside W as they have an inhouse WC.

 

dreams is more flexible but they have a similiar price set up

oooh are you talking about dreams riviera cancun I've seen the ads for it on there website. I'm getting married at dreams cancun. I know on the menu it lists out the prices for individuals too. And there are also buffet prices, but I think all of the dreams resorts have different pricing, so you'd probably have to request info on that particular one.

 

I don't think you need an outside wc, the ones at dreams are pretty good, I think you'll be okay.
