I stressed for months prior and worried for nothing. I am thankful for the words of encouragment! I am hoping that it all goes as smooth as your day and that I will feel the way you felt when you said that you worried for nothing. The thing is that they should tell you these things in the beginning so you don't stress about it for months. Thanks for the info and like I said I am hoping all these thought's are just for nothing.

Is anyone else feeling this frustration? I was feeling your frustration I have been there. I was getting very frustrated with Claudia because it would take forever to get a response and when she finally did I had more questions. It would take weeks at a time. One time she emailed me a form to fill out and then weeks later when I asked where the reciept was or when they were going to take out the deposit for the wedding she said she needed somthing else so I sent that and still no reply. Very frustrating!! It had been 3 to 4 weeks since I sent that info and still no reply even after I emailed her 3 weeks ago to see if she got the info and when the deposit would be taken out no reply!!!!!! So I know how it is very frustrating to communicate with them. I am praying that when my wedding is in Febuary that everything will go smoothly. Anyone else had a problem with giving a deposit? Fine I guess you don't want my money!

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. That sounds frustrating! Glad to hear your not taking it that way and your going back in July to find out the Flow. Thanks for the info!

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! Great information! Thank you! I want to see pictures when you get back if you can post them that would be great. I have a question is Claudia still working there or did you only see Cecilia?

I agree time is flying! We are getting married at Dreams Cancun. So maybe Claudia will have a little more time on her hands if she's not doing both places. Thank you for responding. Congrats on your wedding.

I have 14 people booked and 4 more for sure that need to book. Dress is getting altered and I pick it up next week. The only real thing that I have left to do is jewlery not qute sure what I'm going to wear yet. I do need to get one more pasport though which won't be a problem. One irritating factor is that the coordinator is still very hard to get a hold of many time's and I need to talk to her about this dam deposit other then that things are going very well. Bridesmaid and Junior bridesmaid have their dresses.

Hello everyone thanks for all the info I couldn't quit read all of it but what I did read was very helpful. Febuary is right around the corner and we are so excited. Feb. 12th 2010. So I hear a lot of talk about Ana is she someone new or is she someone you have been working with for awhile? I was talking with Claudia back and forth and as many of you may know who have worked with her it takes forever and a day to get a response. Is anyone else having that problem? Great picture's by the way they were very helpful.

So I finally found the Febuary 2010 thread Glad to finally find it!

Thank you to all of you! I am looking forward to our big day as I am sure all of you are looking forward to your's. Thanks for all of the info now I just need to figure out where everything is. Thank's again.

Hello all we are getting married at Dreams Cancun in Febuary 2010 and looking forward to it. I can't believe I didn't find this site ealier it would of helped in the planning. Is anyone else getting married at Dreams Cancun in Febuary?
