We are renting the sound system for $198--The paperwork states that there is a "music technician" to operate it if you bring an ipod of Cd. I just want to make sure someone is ther to change the music.

We had our own photographers too, but I really loved the pictures the resort photgraphers took. The videographer was great too! I didn't even think I cared about a video, but they did such an amazing job and I cherish it. One more important thing I must mention. Ana was the best! She works very hard and she went above and beyond to make it the most special day. More on that later. But remember, with a destination wedding, you may not be able to finalize a lot of details until you get there. But once you are there, she will sit with you and take care of it. Ana was terrific! Enjoy the slideshow... Ari & Carina Thank you so much for the review and pictures!! Your wedding was beautiful!!!!

More wedding photos. There are some really beautiful places that I haven't seen for some of the shots---like the green garden area! This was posted on the Dreams facebook page: Black Dog Studios | Kate & Nick Destination Wedding

Who will switch it from lower key music (dinner) to the Party music? Who will switch our 1st dance, Father/Daugher, etc dances... and so on. Having a DJ will just make things go so much more smoothly it seems. Thoughts? In the wedding info on the website it states that you're paying $180 per hour for Cds with music technician that will control all of it. I wish I could get ahold of Ana to confirm this but she hasn't replied to my emails for over a month now......

Ashlynn: We were going back and forth about the Dj vs Ipod also. We're going to have around 15-25 people and just can't justify spending the money on it. I would rather have photography that we can take back with us and the upside is that we can pick all of our own music. I'm not sure if I should bring Cds or an ipod though. It says cds on the wedding extras page for Dreams Cancun, so that might just be easier.

After looking at Adventure Photos website, I'm 100% happy with using them. I'm just going to make sure I bring photos to show them some of my must have pictures.

I'm so glad I found this forum!!! All the info is great! We just got our contract for our wedding October 8th, 2010!!! From all the info we're doing a beach ceremony at 2pm then a cocktail hour at 5pm, dinner and dancing on the pool deck at 6pm and then we will probably continue the party in the resorts club. Does anyone know how late the club stays open?
