Short engagement - is it possible to book Dreams?

[calicat]

Hi all!  Hoping someone here can clue me in.  I know Dreams is super popular for weddings and was wondering how booked up they can get?  Basically, if I had a six month engagement would I be out of luck trying to reserve a date?  My fear is that it will be like in the US where the best places need a year reservation or you are out of luck.  Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

I wouldnt assume all dreams are great. Do your research first. I assumed the same for a vacation, last november stayed at Dreams Punta Cana- and although we had a good time, the resort was very unkept and the pool was somewhat worn looking. And I assumed that because it was Punta Cana we'd enjoy some turquoise waters and powdery white sand- we didnt! It was an hour drive from the Airport and was far from Bavaro Beach. Just a heads up!

Thanks for your advice PCBride - I plan on having my wedding in Cabo and the Dreams there looks great so I think I will be ok.  I just don't know if I even have a chance at booking a date within sixth months.  If not, I need to start making more backup plans :/

have just contacted them and asked? Or you don't have a date yet?

I don't have a date yet.  I'm still waiting on my darn ring!   My SO says he will be proposing within the next couple of months and we both want to get married in Cabo and also would like a short engagement.  Since I'm not positive what month I'll be looking at I didn't think I could get a quote from Dreams yet.   Just hoping that someone on here who has booked their wedding recently would let me know their experience - if it was a hassle to get the date they wanted or not.

Do you have an idea on when you want to get married? May, june, July or you thinking next sept? Do you want to get married on a Friday or sat or day of the week?

Eeek, sorry! Didn't realize you had responded.  I'm now engaged and we are hoping for a May/June date - but we aren't picky about it needing to e on a weekend.  I've emailed Dreams but haven't received a response yet....how long does it take for them to let you know what dates are available?
