Well I was suppose to meet with Cecilia Dumas at 12:30pm on 11/26, after my meeting with Cecilia from Dreams. Cecilia from Dreams let me use the phone at Dreams to call Cecilia Dumas. When I spoke with Cecilia she sounded confused and said that she didn't understand how her assistant had booked her appt. to meet with me today if she had a wedding to do at 2pm. (Mind you I thought she was the one that set up the appt. over email. So I don't know if I was speaking to her or her assistant?) She had even told me specifically where to meet her at! So I was very happy Cecilia let me call her from Dreams. I asked her if she was available on Saturday (since my fiance and I had booked an excursion for Friday and Sunday) and she said she had a wedding on that day also. She asked me to call her on Sunday when I got back from my excursion and that she would meet with me at whatever time since she was free the whole day. We didn't get back from our excursion until late and frankly I didn't feel like having to go back to downtown cancun so we ended up not calling her. My fiance and I were talking and we will probably be going back to Cancun July of next year again and actually STAY at Dreams Cancun so we can see how everything flows? Anyway, we decided that we will try and meet with her again in person then. I was kind of upset that she had booked to meet with me on the same day as a wedding, but like I said she blamed it on her assistant and seemed apologetic. I'm going to try and not let this misunderstanding influence my decision on Cecilia Dumas, yet. -
I'm actually not sure who else is working there. I have been in emailing back and forth with Cecilia for a couple of months now and that was why I met with her. Cecilia actually also had a new girl there that I believe she said was an understudy. Those are the only two wedding coordinators that I met with. I do remember though emailing the main email for dreamscancun once and getting a response from Claudia so I'm assuming she is still there. I leave back to jersey today I LOVE Mexico!!! lol Talk to you guys when I get back!

Ok so I know this may sound like a stupid question, but here goes, How do you start your own thread on this website?

Hi Ladies!!!
Well I arrived in Cancun yesterday and went for my site visit at Dreams Cancun today. Let me tell you that I fell in LOVE with Dreams. The gazebo is absolutely beautiful and for the most part isolated from the other busy areas which was important to me. I did my site visit with Cecilia and she was awesome! Anything I asked from her she let me know that it was possible which I loved. She totally took her time with me and my fiance even though she had a wedding that day at 2pm. As we were on our tour several guests from a wedding party she had done the night before stopped to say hi to her and they seemed very happy. The resort is not too big, not too small, but perfect. It was VERY VERY windy when we were there. I am not sure if it is always that windy there since the whole day that day wherever we were was windy. Cecilia did say though that it is usually windy. I definetly think that for our wedding, my bridesmaids and I will need an updo. There was construction going on off to the side of the gazebo towards the beach area? Cecilia said that the goverment is working on making it a "better" beach and once it's done it should look wonderful. I had asked her if they had any other types of chairs for ceremony/reception. (The chairs they use now are kind of a dark purple color and actually need the white covers or else I don't think they would look as nice. Cecilia actually told me that they were thinking of ordering Tiffany chairs and that they will hopefully have it in the future. Cecilia showed us the Terrace in the back of the Spa and said that although they have not done many, there is an option to have a reception by the terrace in the back of the spa. She said the only condition is that the reception must be at 8pm, since that is when the spa closes. She said that this is the only place where you can have your wedding until later as it isn't really in the hotel and the noise does not bother anybody. Any other place she said the reception has to be over at 11pm. Also I asked her about the two DJ's, DJ Mannia, and DJ Doremixx. According to Cecilia the owner of DJ Mannia has moved to Dominican Republic and they have a new owner. She said that the MC is great but did say that lately they've had a couple of problems with the DJ? She didn't specify what but I believe she said that these owners were more unorganized. She gave good reviews about Doremixx. All in all I fell in love with Dreams. My fiance and I booked our date even though it's far away and I'm waiting on the proposal (July 23,2011) I am very much excited. As I am still in Cancun (I love free internet service and my laptop...lol) I will try and post pictures when I get back home Hope this helps!

I definetly want to do the legal wedding here...I'm scared my parents will find out though because they are just that nosy and will probably ask me what paperwork and stuff I would need to get married in cancun...Oh well worse case, I'll just have to tell them...lol
I can't wait for you to get engageeddddd!!!!!Hopefully Riley gets inspired now...lol...It's hilarious how we were talking about it and then BAM! he proposes! His ears must have been burning and he must have heard us..lol...I have to figure out how to upload the ring but if you go under Diamond Jewelry, Wedding Band, Engagement Ring, Stud Earring and type 497 in the search you'll be able to see the ring without the center stone. The center stone is a princess cut. It sucks because pictures don't really do it justice...It's a really pretty ring....
Ok so one down one more to go Jenny! I'm rooting for you!!!!lol -

Thanks! I'm sooo excited now!....wow You already have your date book? that is awesome...I hope that when I go down to mexico on the 25th I fall in love with one of the resorts because I really want to book a date...then I can start planning on the std's! lol....Yeah I'm also planning on ordering my own chair sashes because it looks like they are about $4 a chair if I order them through the resort....I'm not that crafty to be able to make my own centerpieces though I'll probably order flowers....who knows we'll see...maybe I'll get inspired once I have a date....lol
Splitting everything with everyone is definitely smart...I'm going to probably have to do the same.... -

As far as centerpieces and all that, I'll probably just order it from the resort. I know DW are suppose to be easier. For me honestly the reason for wanting a destination wedding is because I wanted pictures with the beautiful caribbean water in it. I also knew that I would not be able to afford having the type of wedding I wanted if I got married down here because my guest list would have been ridiculous. Doing the DW makes it easier for us.
I think we are getting legally married here first as well and not telling anyone. It's just cheaper and easier. I don't feel like going through the whole blood test thing down there either or spending the extra money.
You def look like you have everything planned out. When we go for our site visit on the 25th, my fiance said if we like the resort we can pick a date so we'll see. I want to pick a date so that I can send our STD's by january of next year...I'm going to try and figure out how to take a picture of my ring to send you -

OMG!!! You really DO have everything figured out!!!lol You are so lucky to be able to have Riley's mom as a photographer!!!You are also saving so much! I wish someone in our family was a photographer...too bad if I were to leave it up to my dad, half of our heads would be cut off the pictures! lol I actually emailed Cecilia from DReams Cancun and she claims that they can't honor the prices from 2010 if we book in 2010 for 2011 which I'm going to wait to speak to her in person about anyway.
So I've been driving my futere FI crazy because he sees me on all these wedding websites and he keeps saying "can we wait till we are engaged first?! jeez it's not even going to be a surprise when I propose!" lmao! but it's really hard because I know it's right around the corner so I feel like I at least need to look into things. I was looking at zazzle.com and I thought it was pretty cool how you can make your own postage....I might think of doing that....As far as everything else I guess I'm going to wait until my site visit on 11/26 of this year (and also thanksgiving and my bday!!! woo hoo!lol) I guess maybe then my FI will be more into trying to pick a date and location and all that good stuff....I've been trying to trick him into telling me what days in 2011 he likes but he just rolls his eyes...lol he thinks i'm crazy....ANYWAY as far as weight loss...you are SOOOO luck that you are tall...not only will weight look better on you but your dress will look amazing! I unfortunately am vertically challenged at 5'1"! lol sooooo I'm going to have to learn how to walk in realllllly high heals to make my dress look good. I figured I'll get real serious about my weight come january...i'm going on to cancun in november and christmas is around the corner so I don't necessarily see myself eating healthy then!lol but I'll try!...good job on the OOT bags by the way! I can't wait to get the green light from my future FI...lol Maybe he'll propose on vacation! -

Starting rates for 5 hours of service including lighting and a wireless microphone (as of 4/24/08 ) are $750 USD.
He also has a lighted dance floor and cold fireworks available for an additional cost.
His web site is: MANNIA - Audio, Video e Iluminación Profesional
His e-mail address is: [email protected] or [email protected]
The attached file contains a preliminary list of music that he provides when people inquire about his services.
I know several brides have booked him for their weddings, myself included.
I do not know of anyone who has actually had him for their wedding, but I'm hoping they'll chime in.
Hi, I was trying to open the lists of songs that DJ Mannia has and was unable to. Do you mind emailing it to me at [email protected]? Thanks! -

June 5 huh? That's cool! My FI wants a June 4th wedding date. I go for site visits to different resorts in Mexico in November, and am really trying to hold off picking a date until the site visit but it's hard!lol I keep thinking that when I find the "right place" (which right now looks like dreams cancun) the date I want will be taken! Oh well...guess I'll just have to cross my fingers!Good luck on your planning! -

BTW Congrats on losing all that weight!!!! I soooo need to start on my diet! lol -
Quote:
LMAO!!! OMG you sound like me!!! All my friends and future FI think I'm crazy because I have started planning location, what photographer I want, color scheme...etc before we are engaged!....lol I mean I know I'm going to be engaged by this year and I just feel like when you are planning destination wedings it takes sooo much longer to plan! I know we want to be married on a Saturday in early 2011 but are not sure of the exact month. We are looking at Dreams Cancun (fell in love with the pictures of the gazebo). We are going to Cancun from 11/25-30 this year and have already booked site visits at Dreams Cancun, Dreams Riviera Cancun and Moon Palace...jeez I sound crazy!lol -
Hi thanks so much for review from your wedding and your pics. You looked amazing!!! Can you please send me a copy of your estimate as well? I'm trying to figure out how much a wedding in Cancun will cost me. Can you email it to [email protected]? Thanks!
