thanks guys! thats just a bummer.. i guess the pictures will just have to do! :-(

I never really thought about this before... but is there anyway to bring your bouquet home? I mean I guess its not a big deal, bit it would be kinda cool to save it...

If you go over 20 on either you pay per person, I know this because they tried to charge me for an extra 7 people I wasn't having lol! Apparently there are new menus out which is what I got sent and its mainly sea food, so the kids and certainly me will not be eating it lol I think we may have to ditch it otherwise big big waste of cash! Thing is I don't know if the menu only changed for next year or whether it was this year 2 sorry! Pisses me off that I have to pick ONE menu a year in advance but hey one more thing to add to the ever growing list lmao new menus.. interesting.. could u post whats on these? thanks!

Anyway, if you want to check it out here it is. Looks like some fun stuff! thats awesome!! let us know when u get prices on these!

Thanks guys!! i guess we'll see when i go on my site visit in june... I have all the emails from claudia saved, so Im assuming I shouldnt have a problem.. esp bc they will already be guests of the hotel... good luck everyone!

Hey guys.. just a question that has me a lil nervous. I already hired an outside photographer, and i had mentioned that to claudia a few months ago. She didnt have a problem with it. The photographer is staying at the hotel though, so I dont know if that makes a difference. We are also having a band flown in, which are staying as guests as well... I had told Claudia this as well, and she said it was fine. This was a couple months ago. Should I be worried about this with the new policies?

here are some pictures of the ballroom i've gathered so far... ill be taking more during my site visit in june :-)

I'm a dreams bride as well! im actually going to be on a site visit the week of your wedding! :-) congradulations!

Hey guys.. so i never even thought about this until BDW... im getting more and more interested in doing it.. if i slim down enough hahahha.. so just wondering if anyone has a good photographer in philly.. and how much this whole thing costs as well... oh, and how long before your wedding are these usually done.. Thanks!

does anyone know if the carpet dreams has only comes in red? i was thinking of ordering a white one , but im still undecided.. and is there even a point of putting rose petal on the carpet, or will they just all blow away... i keep hearing how windy it is there.. thanks!

I dont understand if your going for a site visit already, why they cant have a taste testing for you? thats a little ridiculous and frustrating if you ask me. we are going down in june, and i was hoping to be able to taste the things we choose to have for our reception. im also hoping to talk her into getting atleast 2 choices for my guests. im having about 75-100 people.. no way everyones gonna want the same thing... we'll see how that goes...

Becky, your pictures are beautiful!!!!! I booked Elizabeth for my weddign and now im even more excited if thats possible! Im doing the TTD shoot the next day too :-) what time did you do yours? i dont think ill be able to get up early the next morning to do it at sunrise.. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by dc22173 Does anyone have pictures of the ballroom that they can email me? I have seen some of the ones posted here and I think I got some from Daniella. I just feel like I am not seeing the entire room. Most of the pictures I have are of the decorated tables and the dance floor. Is this a large room? I am trying to decide what kind of decorations other than the centerpieces, I might need. hey! im having my reception in the ballroom.. dunno what pictures you have and if they are any different than the ones i have, but if you give me your email ill send you the ones i have... ill be there in june for a site visit and make sure to takes tons of pics

im a little worried that there might be quite a few people who are gonna try to stay at a different cheaper hotel.. i dont know how im gonna be able to pay for all those guest passes.. how do you guys deal with people telling you i might just stay at a different hotel.

wow.. those were amazing!!! where is that spot!? for those of you that have done the TTD already, do most people do it at dreams, or are there places close by to do pictures like these?

Quote: Originally Posted by SIMBASIM Awesome. I am hoping to get down there this summer also but if not I will have lots of requests from you...just kidding! thats no problem at all!! :-) ill def let you guys know before i go ! keep a list of your requests.. lol

yey! im soooo excited.. we scheduled our site visit to dreams cancun for may 31--> june 7!! cant wait.. ill make sure to take tons of pictures and let everyone know before we leave to get any specific requests :-)

Luckily I don't have any papers yet (except for one that isn't a big deal) so changing now won't be a problem professionally. its not hard to change.. my problem comes in as far as when i apply for residency.. between transcripts, papers, rotation recommendations, and just docs getting to know me as one name, i worry that if my application comes in under a difference last name, they wont recognize it.. i have to find out more about this before i make a decision

I booked Elizabeth Medina as my photographer and I'm using the videographer from Dreams. Elizabeth is wonderful.. Her work speaks for itself, and she's super nice! she is doing our wedding day and a TTD sessions! I have heard from several brides that she is great to work with! heres a link to the videographer at dreams: his work looks good, and brides who have had him said he did great work! Cancun Wedding Videos | Mayan Riviera Wedding Videographer | Miguel Cantarell - Wedding Videos hope that helps! good luck with choosing.. we're lucky being on here bc there are so many great options... my advice is figure out what you want for photography/video (in terms of hours, etc..) and your budget, and then go from there...
