I booked it while i was there cause i loved it so much. I just submitted a deposit once I got back. My cousin is actually a travel adgent. She is AMAZING! And I am not just saying that cause she is my cousin. A number of friends of ours use her now too cause she is great, She works for Rosenblues Travel Agency, they are located downtown and in Cherry Hill. She is doing all our booking through Apple as well, thats how it works. I just have all my guest contact her and she DOES EVERYTHING! She has been the TA for a number of weddings. If you would like to contact her here is her info. Sharon Gallo [email protected] 1-800-233-3158. Let me know if you need help at all or any information

Here is a link to a website that sells the startfish already painted pink. Finger Starfish Might save you a lot of time so you don't have to paint all of them!!! Plus they are only 75 cents plus shipping. I can try and post of picture of the box/tray when I return from traveling.

We have a place in North Wildwood, but she took a ride over to the Cape May Whicker store. They are white starfiish that came in a pack of 6, perfect size and the best price by far! I searched the web for whole salers and this the best price we found

I think they are so freaking cute!!!! That is such a neat idea! Very unigue, I am doing the starfish, but love the umbrellas. I think i am going to use limes, but have them in the vase w/ water annd then flowers on top.

We are doing the Starfish with the Place cards!!! I got my starfish for only 60 cents each! My mom got them down the shore and i also got two brown wooden trays from TJMAX, they are awesome and were only $10! so don't order them from the shore chic, you can find them cheaper. Although, that is were i got my idea from! What is everyone doing for thier OOT bags? I was going to do towels that say, "Dreams 11/13/2010", a personalized mug, a just in case kit and then just a welcome note with the wedding details. How about everyone else?

Quote: Originally Posted by pbjwed are you all ordering lounge chairs and for cocktail hour? and how much is it costing you?? Hey I am ordering the Lounge furniture. I got it through EW Cancun. its going to be set up on the beach from 4-11 so our cocktail hour will take place there and then people can go chill or smoke during the reception on the beach with the lounge furniture as well. I think we are spending like $2,100 or something like that, i would have to go back and look. And its for 100 people.

The ceremony only lasts for 20 mins if you are just doing a symbolic. Here is word for word the email I got from my wedding photographer, who does a ton of Mexican weddings: “3:00 pm ceremony start is PERFECT!!!! if you want to be at the cocktail hour to relax and mingle with your friends & family ( we can also get some nice candid shoots at this time) then I think 5:15-5:30 to start the cocktail hour will be good :-) “ I personally won’t push it up any earlier. I think 3 is the best time. I was there in late October to visits and at 1:00 it was pretty Hot out, it was the peak of the Sun.

Thats way to early for the ceremony. I was hoping to have it later,? I was hoping for more of a time flow for the ceremony, pictures and cocktail hour, and reception with the reception being around 7. Does anyone know how many weddings a day they do? what should I do?? I believe they have two weddings a day. I am getting married at 3:00 in November. My photographer, Claudia Rodriguez, said to do this so she has time to capture some nice shots while it’s still daylight. The sun starts to set between 5-6, so we figured we would have our cocktail hour when the sun was setting. Figured that would just be awesome for our guests! We rented this lounge furniture from EW Cancun http://www.eventsweddingscancun.com that will be setup on the beach for the Cocktail hour and during the reception, figured people could smoke or just relaxing on there if they would like as well. It’s going to be setup from 4-11. I think having your ceremony earlier is totally fine, this way you can get really nice photos and then just have fun during the ceremony and reception without having to run off and get your photos taken! Just my opinion….good luck

Those were awesome...but now I need another option!! Thanks everyone! Believe it or not, i am doing OOT Bags as well and I got mine from Marshalls! They have them all hanging as soon as you walk in the door. I got really nice colorful ones, that are the exact colors I am using too! I am putting two towels in them (cause i will have two guest to a room), a really funky drinking glass/ mug to keep guests drinks cool during the day at the pool, and a few other small things......haven't totally decided that yet. I only paid $1.99 for two. So a dollar each and they are awesome! looks like i spent like $8.00 per bag! And i figured people could use them again when they get home as well as for the beach while they are there!

Hey Everyone So Vista Print has become my best friend. My colors are brown, green and a touch of purple. I sent out a message in the bottle as my save the dates, with these colors and have made my invations along the lines as well. I also made my Place Cards on Vista Print. I got 100 of them printed (not with the names or seat numbers yet) for only $10.00 and that included shipping!!! so if you don't feel like taking the time to do it on your own computer or buying just plain ones I recommed Vista Print! Attached is the photo of Mine, front and back.

So since I haven't been on here I will let you know the few vendors we are using. We have hired Claudia Rodriguez for our Photographer. I met her and she is amazing if anyone is using her! We have hired EW Cancun for the lounge furniture on the Beach for our cocktail hour and we have also hired the DJ doremixx. I have an email into Fernando to do hair and Make-up, has anoyone ever used him or heard of him I have read some wonferful reviews and am awaiting to see his availablity and pricing. Also does anyone know if the DRC is definitely looking to move the gazebo? I heard they might. I do think it is a little close to the pool, but aren't to concerned.

Hi Everyone! I am and have been a member of this website but have no idea how it works! I am getting married at the DRC on November 13, 2010 so you can add us to the list

That is great to know that she is so nice...I got that feeling from her emails. Thank you, congras to you as well. We just went for a really quick weekend, a Thursday to a Sunday and that was perfect to check it out. Claudia is awesome. She is so nice and made me feel so comfortable about everything. She gave me the recommendations on the time, she talk to the wedding coordinator for me too. She is so helpful and i really trust her opinion.

The pictures are exactly how the resort looks, if not better. My parents travel a lot and my mom said it was one of the nicest she has been to. the staff is so friendly too!!!

Hey!! I just joined this site and am still learning how this site works....But i visited the new Dreams is October and it was incredible. We are getting married in November 2010. I meet Ana too, she is really really nice. Anyone having their wedding here will love it!!! I visited a couple hotels and nothing compared to the Dreams. If anyone is looking for a Photographer I am using Claudia Rodriguez. She has a website and her work is amazing!! I met her in person and she is just awesome. She made me really excited. She is cool and so nice...my mom and I were so impressed by her and her work.

It is a bit confusing but I hope to get it all straightened out in the next few days!!! can you email me these documents as well?? at [email protected] for some reason i can not view them.....this website won't let me. If you don't mind sending them that would be awesome!!! thanks
