Hell there was one in Nov in 2005. they are just educated guesser's with letter's behind their name!! LOL! All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and stick with the things I can control.

I sent mine to her back in March and still haven't gotten a first draft contract. So it will probably be a while before you get one.... And it does mean she is holding your date for you. I was stressing over reserving the date and not having a contract signed and Daniella assured me despite the lack of the contract the date was reserved for us. Plus TA Jennifer is helping me and she also got confirmation my date was reserved for me. You are an official Dreams Cancun Bride!!!!! March?? That seems quite a long time. I have received numerous revisions to my contract since then?? You might wast to resend. Just look'n out for ya!

The prices were on a excel spread sheet with the # that was printed next to the flowers on the other form on the excel form so you could see what the price was. If that makes any sense? She also sent you more flowers of pictures than me. Do you have any centerpiece pics from Dreams? No. I just found something I liked and she approved so I am ASSUMING that there is no extra charge?? There is plenty of samples at theknot.com you should check it out.

I received and email back IMMEDIATELY just yesterday. You might want to try and resend?? Of course MY question was a Money question..LOL! Can't hurt to try.

I figure Hurricane season gets roaring by July/Aug. I have to worry about not only Mexico but new orleans, too!

ITS OFFICIAL! I just sent my deposit.

My wedding date is June 13,2009. Almost 1 year away!!! yea!!!

Great review. Thankss.

The hotel is gorgeous!!!

Ideally I would love for them to be able to have a smoke somewhere, but I personally hate having my day at the beach ruined by someone smoking next to me, or the worst is having smoke from the next table waft my way while I am trying to enjoy a nice meal! At this point I haven't decided on a wedding location but am most interested in the Dreams, Real, and Sandos resorts. However, I'd be interested to hear about any "smoking" experiences in the area. Thanks! I don't think Mexico has jumped on the "clear air train" yet. They are a little behind the times. I am sure there is no smoking is certain areas but as for beach i believe it is fair game!

If the only thing you had to consider was Ceremony, not reception or rooms, would you still do a resort wedding? Why or why not? Thanks for the advice? Carla Definitely! I like the idea of a resort. I think it is all a matter of choice. My family and I have always traveled to resorts and we love the different activities all sewed up into one establishment. It keeps us all close together on vacation. Plus, I think that the coordinators are trained to put on a heck of wedding.

It's a long time from now... but it's definitely a huge relief to know that my date has been "confirmed". Now I'm just waiting to receive my contract. I can't wait to get to know everyone better and to start sharing ideas, I'm so excited! Congrats!!!!! You got plenty of time to freak out!!! LOL! You will love this forum!

Quote: Originally Posted by kellywinter1 Ok so I have been working with Daniella too and i also had requested pictures of flowers included in the package and those in the VIP catagory. She sent me the same pictures she sent to you in the first doc you posted and told me those were the flowers included in the package. Then she sent picture which appear to look similar to the ones in docs 2 and 3 you posted, but she told me that those were in the VIP catagory and i would have to pay more for those. The price range for those flowers were I believe $120-200! The docs she sent were in a different format and had prices with them, so I don't know if things had change from the time you spoke with her and then when I did but I am confused! First i don't understand why to upgrade my flowers that are included in a package I purchased I should have to pay an additional $120-200 just for my flowers alone! Plus why is it that so many people have been told so many different things?! There were no prices next to the original power point presentation she sent me. I only put them in a .doc in order to post them because the power point format was too big. I was told these were included in my package I am more cofused than ever!! thanks..LOL!!!
