Soon To Be Mrs. Gomez

Okay so I know that you didn't rave too much about dessert, but were you able to taste the cake flavors and did they tell you if you could choose a dessert along with your wedding cake?

I'm going to try and make this as brief as possible. Service A+ The servers were so incredibly nice and catered to your every need. I read on here that it's a good idea to take singles for tips. We ended up bringing $100 in singles and I'm glad I did. It's not necessary to tip, but we felt it was important to show our appreciation. Maid service was good and very loyal. I never once felt as though I had to hide my valuables or money. In fact one day I left money out and they came in for turn down service, the money was still there! Resort A- The reason I give the resort an A- is due to the amount of children at the resort. I understand we went during spring break and that may be the reason for all the families. We just thought since this was an upscale resort there would not be many kids. Boy, were we wrong!! After the first day of sitting by the pool and listening to all the screaming and crying kids, we decided to lie down by the beach (which was fabulous). The actual structure of the building and cleanliness was outstanding! I loved the architecture and layout of the facility. We were super impressed with the workout room! The resort does a great job with their entertainment and providing fun activities for their guests. For example, I did a yoga class on the beach one morning. The workers take pride in where they work and it shows! Restaurants/Food Tasting A+ We were so impressed with the food at Dreams! We loved waking up in the morning and heading down to El Patio! They have a great breakfast buffet as well as a chef making personalized omelets. Seaside also has a good breakfast, but better dinners. We were NOT impressed with Portofino at all! We were first seated outside and there were so many kids running around, which shocked us because this was the “fancy-dress code” restaurant. We asked to be moved inside and got our food, which was not good at all. We loved Himitsu, we really like sushi. It takes awhile to get your food so it’s a good idea to order a lot! Ha! Himitsu was my second favorite place for dinner. We loved Oceana for dinner, which is my first pick for din-din!! Yum!! We also did our food tasting there and had a great experience. Here is what we decided on for our wedding dinner (we’re doing A La Carte)… Starters: Puff pastry with Portobello mushroom and asparagus Snow crab cakes Soup: Tortilla soup with shrimp (sooo good, be careful we ordered it for room service and it was not the same as Seaside’s tortilla soup) Cream of asparagus Dinner: Sea Bass Beef tenderloin Penne pasta with shrimp and scallops Dessert: we were not impressed with desserts, not sure on these options Strawberry mousse Ice cream on in candy bowl Oh and having 24 hour room service was the best thing on earth! We would come in from a long day in the sun and order salads before going out to dinner (since it takes a long time to get food). We are big nacho kids so having this option for every meal was fabulous! Ha! WC Yesica B+ We met with Yesica and thought she was very helpful. We were able to get a lot of questions answered but many we did not get a straight answer. We are hoping to get the unanswered questions in an email soon. I’ve read some really poor reviews on Yesica and I truly have to stand up for her. She has so many weddings she handles and she knows what she is doing. Many BDW brides are upset that she is not responding to their emails timely enough, but what they do not realize is Mexico is extremely laid back! They are not on their computers all hours of the day like us Americans. My advice to other brides would be to prioritize your questions. Ask Yesica the most important questions first and ask her to answer those specific questions so you get a straight answer. The other option would be to talk with her via phone, I personally do not like doing this because you won’t have written documentation of your conversation. I like to print out my emails so I have them for my binder/files. Yesica is very knowledgeable and is good at what she does. I’ve never heard a bride disappointed with her after the wedding, which is a good thing. I’m planning on giving her a complete itinerary of my wedding day so she knows exactly what she needs to do on that day. I would also highly recommend a site visit if you are able to make the trip. It’s so worth it to know what you are going to get and to see the resort. For those who are unable, take my word you will have an amazing wedding! This resort is beautiful and your wedding will be unforgettable for all of your guests! Here are my Site Visit photos: Flickr: tara.krebs' Photostream

Oh Thanks Tammy! The idea of having a pre-party on the patios is a great idea!

Yeah I think there is a thread already on thsi but if you contact Dreams they will send you menu options so you know exactly what you can get.

Great letter. It has all the answers that guests would like to know!

I like Ana too because she has really helped out with all Dreams Cabo Questions. I also like Eika J because she seems so nice and always compliments everyone.

Nivea has one too. I like that one because it has a little bit of sparkle.

Great. I'm gald everything went smoothly.

Great choices. My FI loved the linen pants he bought too!

Very cute!

I'm sorry about this. It's terrible when you are trying to celebrate such a great event and certain issues come up. Please try to relax and like everyone has said, you do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

I love candy bars. Great set up with great colors.

Wow You have great details! Everything is going to be perfect. Can you tell me how you came up with the idea of theplace cards because I have the same situation with my guests picking their choice of entree.

All great. All your tags are great!

Those are great. Your guests will so love them

Nice. Love the Hammock pic!

So far, pics look great! Can't wait tos ee more. Congrats!!!!

I think people will like beach towels better.

Thanks for sharing. Your dress bustle is gorgeous. Congrats!!!!!

So I wanted my MOH and flower girls to have hair flowers. I originally thought of having real flowers but I saw so many fake ones and I just love these I found on Etsy by Banner Boutique. They look so cute in person and they have a strong clip that should hold.

Okay so I am a huge fan of Ana so I'm so happy she did my wedding invites. They went out today. I can't wait to get reactions from guests because they are truly beautiful!

I'm sorry about this. I would be so mad and stressed. I hope things work out.

What a great idea. Love the Mexican clip art

If you want something really creative , I recommend Ana De Roux. She is a member on this forum and she does great work!

Those are very cute. Great idea.
