StarlitK Congratulations. Thanks so much for posting, your pictures are stunning I love them all. So much love and energy. You must be thrilled with them and the memories of your wonderful day. Just wondering if I could get your input... We are getting married on the same night the firedancers are performing. What time approx do they start? For how long do they perform? Do you think it would be possible to move our wedding celebration after our meal to watch the fire dance performance. There will only be 13 of us in total, we have planned a private meal on the beach and then just dancing in the sand to our ipod. Would love to hear everyones opinions of how or if you think this would work in terms of timing, logistics and ambience. Both as a bride and if you were the guest. Many thanks

Ballet : Graceful

Hiya ShellK, nice to see a fellow "BRIT". We are getting married 26th March 2010 at Dreams Tulum. We also booked early ( 2008 ) and every day I tell myself if we'd waited we'd have found a better deal, gone with a different travel agent, decided on a different venue etc... but the truth is Im pretty sorted with my planning but still freaking out so if I hadnt sorted myself out early I'd be even more stressed at this stage. So far I've designed and launched my wedding website, chosen my dress and found a dressmaker, sent out STD'S, designed but not printed my boarding pass invites and Hubby 2 b has bought his suit. Out of curiosity how have you found your booking experience? We went with Thomas Cook cos they were the best price by far at the time but to be honest I think they are actually really pricey and couldnt care less about our wedding. Our TA is not getting involved at all with any of our wedding plans, they wont even help us get our official paperwork in order cos we didnt book the wedding direct with them... even though we qualify for the free package so we wouldnt have had to pay them anything for the wedding anyway!! Hope your experience this far has gone well. Good luck for the rest of the planning.

I have finally found "THE DRESS" which is sliiinky and unlike anything I ever thought would flatter my ample hips but somehow it works!... However its just the kick up the butt that I need to stop procrastinating and get myself in better shape for the wedding.

Friday 10th july. 9.53pm. Getting excited for trying on wedding dresses tomorrow and hoping to find "THE ONE"

Jerzygirl85 thanks for raising this question, starlitk based on your recent experience his is possibly something else thats changed recently. Pretty sure I remember past brides saying they had chosen a number of drinks to be served at their cocktail hour (including corona and cocktails from the regular bar menu) and others also had been allowed to serve a signature cocktail in their chosen wedding colours for which they had supplied the WC with a recipe at their planning meeting. Sorry but I cant remember who said this but I know I've read it several times. Please post when you get a definite answer cos if its champagne only i'm gonna drop it from my package and just get people to go to the nearest bar. None of us are big champagne drinkers so its not worth the extra $$$

I will be posting a review, will try to do this weekend but ideally was waiting until my pro photos came in. We had a few minor glitches (and I mean really REALLY minor) and were overall very pleased with the wedding and the entire experience. I am really sorry to hear that not everyone had the same experience as we did. I am wondering if the size of the wedding increases the possibility of issues? We were only 13 (including a 1 year old baby) and our 2 photographers (as a side note - I'm sad to see that there is a change in the 2010 guide RE:outside photographers, we LOVED them!)... I'll do my best to write my review ASAP!!! Chantal Congratulations Chantal, Great to hear you had a wonderful experience. I am also having a party of 13 (inc me and FI) so im interested to hear how this worked out for you on the day. Eagerly awaiting your review to ease my nerves.

Congratulations. Many Thanks for your detailed review. So glad despite the hiccups you had a wonderful day. Looking forward to pics.

Thanks Jerzygirl85 thats so helpful. Just read the 2010 guide and they kind of have their backs covered with the wording..."On Average, dreams hosts 2-3 weddings per day." Kinda blows the petition idea out of the water!
