my heart aches hearing this... I am leaving in one week and they are saying that if this raises to a 5, nobody will be able to travel out of LAX into MX for three months or until the virus is cleared.. Im devastated and praying that this wont happen.. Best of luck..

Im so sad and going crazy.... I have heard that we are at 4 right now on a scale of one to 5. If this warning moves up to 5 they are not allowing anyone to fly out into Mexico for three months or until the whole virus clears up.. I am planning on leaving after Mothers Day and Im completely freaking out now. No stress up until now. And whats most annoying is everyone emailing me about this like I dont know its soo annoying~!!!

Has anyone heard back on the dance floor? ugh-- Im leaving in 2 weeks and still nothing back!

Any of the brides who have gotten married at Dreams and rented the illuminated dance floor, what was the cost on it.

Ours worked great and everything but I would have rather bought the bose one, how do you like yours? I broke a piece on the one we have now, it still works, but eventually I want to buy a new one and thats the one I want. The discount is only for new bookings. It's worth a shot if you already have him booked, but Claudia told me specifically, just new bookings. We took travelers checks, I didn't want to take a lot of cash either. I also didn't want to use my debit card to pay the balance of the wedding because our daily limit is low and it would have been a pain in the butt! Hi girls, I emailed Claudia and said she would honor the 30% discount to all BDW getting married starting June

Hi girls... I have a very important question... are you all taking all your cash down there to pay vendors, photographer, dj, hotel, etc.. Im scared to take cash. How can I work this out?

Thanks, you just freaked me out.... now I have to get on the VOWS! hahaha Not going to do a wedding program, I seriously dont think its necessary, I am going to do fans though and just attach a little thank you note to them. Will you be doing candle or sand? Now sure if its going to be windy. I just dont want to deal with taking so much stuff with me that Im also considering just a candle

Doremixx is now an allowed vendor. He is going for $280 + 10% usd per hour. Same as Mannia's price.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jenn3878 Hi ladies, how much is everyone paying for the DJ?? My contract says 3 hrs $ 280 usd + 10% tax per hour =$924.00? Is that right?? Your missing your 30% discount-- and the cost for the dancefloor

Quote: Originally Posted by zorlack76 OMG That is so awesome!!! I am working with Cecilia now because Gaby was let go, so I must ask her about that discount. Thanks so much for letting everyone know. Just to make sure I understand correctly, you are having 3 hours and the illuminated dance floor...all for $880? Or is $880 just for the cost of the dance floor? I wish the dance floor was included, lol its a total of $647usd for 3 hours of DJ plus an additional cost for the dancefloor

Quote: Originally Posted by Kate82 What! does this mean we can't take advantage of the discount and we have to use their prices? I thought when you hire a DJ, it comes with the illuminated dance floor. No? No Kate the dance floor is separate, its running about 800+. Dreams went ahead and honored the discount for me at 30% so Im pretty content with that.. yaaaaaaaa

Quote: Originally Posted by DJMannia Hi Cancunbride, Dreams Cancun has their own prices , you better ask your wedding coordinator about it, Hi Carlos... Ive been emailing you back and forth through my yahoo... what is the size dance floor I need for about 40 people? Also does the dance floor come in different colors I love that blue color.

Quote: Originally Posted by Kate82 Can someone tell me how much he charges per hour with the 30% discount? Thanks! It would be a total of $647.00 total with your discount not including the illuminated dance floor if you want it at $880.00

Hi Girls... Just wanting to let you know that I emailed Claudia regarding the 30% discount for Mannia since I couldnt book Doremixx on time. She graciously granted me the discount, so for 3 hours I will be paying $647.00 plus the cost of the illuminated dance floor of $880.00. Im not sure if this is the small dance floor or the bigger one I must ask, but it seems a bit pricey. Anyhow, I had inquired previously about Doremixx and she had told me no and that he was not an authorized vendor. Now he is, his price is the same as Mannia at $280.. Here is her email... Yes now we can work with Doremixx, heis now an authorized vendor for Dreams Cancun, we had a formal meeting a few days ago The price for DJ is $ 280 usd + 10% tax per hour The price for the dance floor (wood) is $ 450 usd + 15% set up + 10% tax Doremixx has a beautiful lightened dance floor, maybe you like it, if you do I can send you price NOW THE EMAIL ABOUT MANNIA Yes when you asked he was not an authorized vendor, and beacuse all those brides asking a lot for this other company we invite him to have an appointment in our corporate office to make sure that he offers a great quality in service, all vendors for Dreams has to be carefully selected in order to avoid any inconvenience may cause to our clients, we don’t reccomend what we don’t know, that’s why we just offered the Mannia Services. If you decide to work with Mannia we will honor the 30% discount he offered to all BDW. It will cost you for 3 hours $ 924 usd Less 30% YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:sh ots: Total will be $ 647 usd for 3 hours

Quote: Originally Posted by Michelle613 I think I saw a thread about this before but I can't find it..so here goes. I really want to hire DJ Doremixx and Claudia emailed me back saying Dreams does not accept outside vendors. What's the deal with that? I said we'd pay his day pass and I know brides have used outside photographers. Any advice on what I should say to her to let me use him? He is actually now an approved vendor and I think his price is $250 an hour plus 10% tax

I went to try my wedding dress on for the first time. It is a separate and I tried to pull the skirt up and it stopped just at my theighs. We looked to see if it had more zipper to pull down but no luck. I then attempted to pull it over my head and still it would not go around my big butt! I have lost 20 lbs since I tried on the sample skirt which is the same size as the one I ordered so I figured it would fall off me. Well to make a long story short...after some careful research by my bridesmaid (who was livid by the way) noticed that the sample on the floor was labeled wrong and I ordered 2 sizes too small. THEY DID NOT EVEN MEASURE ME! I was not aware of the fact that wedding dresses run so small so when I ordered a 10 I figured I would be fine as seeing I am now in a size 6-8. They then had to take the seam out on both sides (about an inch total) so it could just barely fit! It is a trumpet (mermaid) skirt and I am quite endowed in the butt area so I am a little concerned about the whole "splitting" issue! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THE A-LINE!! Guess I will eat again in 2 months and 1 day. I guess if I did not lose it at that point I am free and clear not to freak out for the next 2 months!! OMG Jen, eats lots of steamed vegetables for dinner and lien cuisines for lunch, this is how my friend lost 30 pounds before her wedding

Has anyone tried this: Dreams Trilogy Steak Fillet, Shrimps and Fish, served with gratin potatoes and steamed vegetables or Duo Dreams Shrimps and Steak marinated with Port Wine and fine herbs, mushroom ragout and lime Risotto and Grilled Sea Scallops Accompanied with a Lettuce Bouquettiere and Two Citrus Sauce or the dreams cancun salad?
