I got married at Dreams about a month ago...the only things i had set on my contract before going down there was the time and the location. I didn't tell them how many people were coming until the day I got down there...just that i'd have somewhere between 20 and 50. I spent about half an hour with Cecilia (who is amazing by the way) on my arrival date and we got it all figured out. Since I was the only bride on my day, i could even have changed the time and location if i'd wanted to.

I was planning on doing my cocktail hour on the terrace, and my reception in the garden...but it looks like the terrace is bigger than I was imagining from other pictures I'd seen. Was there enough room with all those round tables to also have a dance floor/dj? There will be between 40 and 50 people at my wedding, I think.
Also, If I did do the reception in the garden, was it bright enough after the sunset with the tiki torches/lights that they put out? (If anyone here has done that...)
Which place do you think is more private? (I know that neither of them is terribly private).

Does anyone know what we need to do to set up hair/makeup appointments, and how far in advance? I want to get mine and my bridesmaids booked, because some other people are asking me if there is a salon on site...and i don't want them to take up all the appointments!
-
If Azucar is actually on Dreams, shouldn't the drinks be included anyways? I think i'm confused!
Also, does anyone know if you can bring your own minister? My Uncle is a minister and I would rather have him perform the ceremony, would feel more special than some random person I hadn't met before, but I don't want to ask him until i know they will let him do it, and I don't want to ask the WC, because i'm afraid if I ask them we will get wires crossed and they will think I have my own minister even if it doesn't work out with my uncle...the language barrier is a struggle :-/
-
This may be a stupid question...but what is Azucar?? I've been keeping up with the posts but maybe I missed it somewhere.

Hi Michelle, sorry you're having a hard time getting your question answered...it seems that maybe noone on here has gotten that dance floor, which may mean that it really is that expensive. You might want to check with the WC.

I got an email from her a few hours ago. She's seemed pretty responsive lately, so hopefully you'll get something back from her soon. I'm sure it won't be a problem!
Also, she seems to look out for that anyways...i originally told her i wanted a 6:00 ceremony, and when she sent me my contract she said "i booked you for 4:00 because 6:00 will be too dark".

Hey girls! I am a September 2009 bride, but would love to crash your thread if you don't mind! I started WW 2 weeks ago, and could use the extra support, you girls seem like a great support system!
I did well in my first two weeks, stayed on plan and lost 2 pounds the first week and 2.4 the second week...but since that last weigh in i have completely fallen off the wagon! I have 29 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight.
I need some movtivation!!!!! (as if a pending wedding isn't enough motivation...i dn't know what my problem is!)
-
I just booked them for my wedding in September 09 too I'm really excited. They were so nice in their emails, and were even able to keep up with my obsessive/incessant emailing! Not to mention the pictures on their website are gorgeous, and their prices are awesome.
YAYYY!!!!!
I don't know if they do albums or not, but i found this website
Wedding Albums: Professional Wedding Photo Albums - Storybook & Picture Albums Online
Where you can design your own flushmount album, for whole sale price. I'm thinking about doing that...we'll see.
-
Yay! I'm so excited! I now have a date booked AND I booked a photographer! I'm going with Moments that Matter Photography. I love the style of pics they have on their website and their prices are REALLY reasonable.
Next step...decisions about invites/save the dates/who to send them to....ahhhhhh.
-
I'm actually waiting to hear back from them right now, I can't find their packages or prices anywhere though...anyone know about what they charge for a full day package?
-
Congratulations! and Good luck in finding new ideas! this is definitely the place to find them!
-
Welcome to the forum! and congrats! You will find so much great information here, this thing is amazing!!
-
Ah, thanks for clarifying the weekend question. I guess that still leaves me needing a symbollic ceremony though. That'll be less stress anyways!
-
I understand how frustrated you feel! It's hard figuring everything out when all the information is in so many different places!
DJ: Mannia Cancun review
in Riviera Maya and Cancun Wedding Vendors
Posted
We got married a month ago at Dreams Cancun, where Mannia is the prefered vendor. I sent him a list of music i like a week before the wedding, and they did an AMAZING job. Unfortunately I do not know the name of my specific DJ, but I'm sure they are all very good. Kept the entire group dancing, was very responsive to requests, and as I changed my mind about the order of things as the reception went on, he just rolled with it and did what I asked as if it was the original plan. I was very very happy with the choice.
