I have actually emailed Dreams in Cabo to see if they can offer the same type of beach reception and the lit up dance floor ....love it!
I think Dreams Cabo has totally different prices than Dreams Cancun. if you still want it let me know I would be happy to send it to you. The illuminated dance floor is extra, that comes with the DJ

Thank you everyone for being sooo sweet on your comments.
I wanted to share what I got this morning from my photographer, Cecilia Dumas.
She sent me a thank you card to send out to all my guests, which I thought was super sweet...

Going to send these out to everyone...

can i ask one random question though, i remember you were originally going with claudia rodriguez (sp) as your photographer - can i ask why you changed? I've booked citlalli through claudia...
It was a hard decision, but after looking at Cecilia's work and her TDD shoots, I decided to just go with her. Her work seems like its more artistic to me and more unique. -
thanks StacieQuote:

When I went to Punta Cana a few years back I ate & drank everything & I was perfectly fine, until we got home..LOL but a friend of mine was sick the whole trip
I got sick one day and I had non stop bathroom issues but I think that was from the milky drinks so I stopped drinking those. Then my daughter got sick, she couldn't use the restroom for about 3 days and was cramping bad, shes 7. I had a few of my guests also complain of cramping and not being able to use the restroom for a few days so I purchased Mylanta from the store across the street XOXO and gave it to my guests to drink it. Seemed like it helped. My FI had nonstop bathroom issues too the entire time he was there, heehee but again I think its the milk in the drinks and all the heavy food. Dreams Cancun has a Dr. on call that charges an arm and a leg. My MOH was playing pool volleyball and broke her acrylic and the nail came off also. He was charging $150.00 to clean out the nail and bandage it up. Shes a nurse so she was able to do it in a few seconds just borrowed his stuff.

I am so excited to hear that she has a vase there. I will just bring the sand and email her and let her know I will be using it.I did see a picture of the vase in one of your pictures. PERFECT!
You make sure you ask the bartender to add extra shots. They use 1/2 shot of alcohol for a margarita. My father who was a bartender/bar owner told them that was not the way to make a drink, they advised him that they have to follow dreams rules unless the person requesting the drink asked for additional shots. So therefore, for one drink you need to ask for 2 additional shots or even three to actually be able to get a good stern drink... HAPPY DRINKING. Oh ya, and also.... all their alcohol is HOUSE alcohol meaning no name brand alcohol except for Kaluah. Their tequila is yellow and alright, their Vodka is like drinking acetone. hahah. The first night we were there we all asked for Vodka shots (Absolute or GreyGoose) and they brought us some type of acetone tasting Vodka (House) that sent my MOH straight to the bathroom to puke and then up to her room to shower 10 times and barf all night, she got sick off of it. So avoid the vodka, make sure its ABSOLUTE. Definately no shots of Vodka, and if you do then dont say I warned you. I recommend Absolute Mandarin with 7-up... sooo goood and not many calories!!

I didnt tip my photographer but I did buy her a beautiful Tiffany and Co. Necklace and she absolutely loved it. She wore it the following day to a wedding she attended.Quote:

I would like to know where you bought your TTD dress
It is gorgeous! Thanks
I purchased that dress at Nordies some time ago... I had an issue with my TDD dress that I originally had done, it was to big on me so I couldnt use it. I will be putting that up for sale if anyone is interested. It is beautiful and its white.
Ill be selling that for $125.00. (empire style)

OMG Lisa that is too funny. I had one of my BMs stay at Krystal and they were at Dreams all week. They crashed in my room, then in other peoples rooms all week. They didnt even use their hotel. They ate at Dreams, Drank at Dreams and used their pool. All they had to do was say one of our room numbers and they were in. hahah Too Funny. All they would do is go to their room to change at night. hahah
Claudia knew about my photographer and didnt bother to charge me a visitor fee.
How were your drinks??
