Rebeca must of gotten a ton of emails- I also emailed her and I am so glad I booked early and in 2009 so the fees do not apply to me either....that made my day! What a relief! Now we just need to make sure to save all our emails/correspondence with Rebeca... just in case. =)

Hi- what a great thread.... I can totally relate with so many of you! I am pretty tall and a curvy size 10/12 and like many I am trying to tone up and lose some weight before the big day, but because of my muscle/bone structure-I will never be "stick" thin or come even close. I was curious if anyone found a great dress yet? If so what style/designer worked well for you? I just started dress shopping last weekend. I know I have to lose weight, but I figured it would be fun to look around and try some on. What a frustrating experience! Dresses run sooooo small! Most of the stores I went to only carry up to size 12/14 to try on so it would fit below, but once it hit the bust/mid back area there was no way it would come close to zipping up!

It's so funny that you mentioned this because I just got the same attachment from Rebeca last night and my FI almost flipped out! We are expecting to have between 80 to 110 so our fees are going to go through the roof. We are talking between $1,000 to $1,500!!!!! Looks like we'll be using their DJ and Photographer.

I have to agree that it would be really cool to have your wedding on a private beach and the boat ride over would be so exciting. Plus when looking on the internet- it is absolutely gorgeous! However, we ended up going with Dreams PV because although the boat ride seems fun to me, it actually was a deal breaker. We were worried some of our guests would get sea sick (especially if alcohol was involved) and when mentioning it to some of the older members of our family- they were not to keen on the idea. Trust me if it was not for the hour long boat ride... I would have it there too. =)

Sorry I forgot the "/" So the first amount is for the 3 nights and the second amount is 4 nights

We are doing our wedding in October (which I think is low season) Since it will be over a 3 day holiday weekend and most people will be coming from west coast we are doing mostly 3 and 4 night packages and it include airport transfers, and $200 resort credit/coupon (and of course kids are free) 3 nights 4 nights Deluxe Oceanview w/balcy $267 per person $352 per person Preferred Club Junior Suite $369 per person $488 per person

I would check out rates going through the hotel directly, but you might want to look into using a travel agent as well. Sometimes the travel agent can negotiate with the hotel directly to give you added discounts and upgrades. I personally found going through the travel agent was less expensive and easier in general. Especially when communicating back and worth. Dreams PV does a great job communicating and getting back to you, but I found that a travel agent is more accessible for our guests (to contact/ get questions answered) and more in line for what services we needed.

I contacted so many coordinators and after all the research I am using Mishka- I actually found her through the forum and she has been so helpful and great to work with. She has a website and blog...

This is kind of random, but when booking our wedding, Rebeca indicated that there would be a chance that more than one wedding would be taking place on the same day. Is there any brides that had to experience this? If so .... Did you notice the other wedding party? Was there enough rooms for your guests? Did everything turn out ok?

Welcome and Congratulations- you will find so much great information on the forum. Happy Planning!

Thanks so much for sharing-they look great. I think I am going to order my invitations through them.

Congratulations. I went to two weddings in Vegas recently and both were fabulous, but inside. One was at the Paris and the other was at MGM. Happy Planning=)

Love..especially with lox Breakfast for dinner?

Congratulations.... I think you made a great choice. You really can't go wrong with any of the Dreams resorts. With regards to contacts...I found that hiring a wedding planner helps and acts as another "go to person". Also they work closely with the resorts coordinator. The planner will be able to give you tons of contacts and recommendations of local vendors that they have relationships with. Makes the planning process so stress free.

Welcome and Congratulations.... I am also getting married in October 2010! You will have so much fun going through all the threads on the forum...Happy Planning

We are getting "legally married" the week before our trip. Our ceremony in Mexico will include the exchanging of vows and rings. (Most likely everyone will think this is the legal ceremony) But one thing I have learned from reading through tons of threads.... is anything really goes.

I love your colors... You did a fabulous job and it looks so professional! I know your guests will love them. I only wish I was creative =)

This is really good- I also just saved it! OOT bags can be so fun, but can gets so expensive so quickly. Thanks for all the great information.

I love the dress and shoes, just not together. But your the bride and its your day... so if you want to wear the shoes than I say wear them. =)

Like better than orange juice coffee in the morning?

Wow so much good advice- thank you so much! I am going to now search for the boudoir poses thread. =)

Your finds sound great- your guests will love everything!

Welcome and Congratulations...Happy Planning!
