Kelly, Did you receive an answer about the buffet instead of a plated meal? I'm getting married at Dreams in less than 2 weeks and I think I may choose the buffet to save time. Also, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to post to this thread. I've been using many recommendations over the past year to help my wedding go smoothly. The detailed responses have been amazing! When I get back, I'll post as much info as I can. One bit of news I would like to share, the resort is no longer allowing the Preferred Tower Terrace for receptions! There was a rule allowing the terrace if 70% or more of guests were staying in the tower. I recently received an email from Claudia stating I could not use the Terrace for my wedding (one month before!). Needless to say I was distraught! My mother-in-law (who is from NY and doesn't take no for an answer) called and talked to Claudia and the hotel manager. She explained to them that is no way to conduct business and to go back on their word was just bad business. That day I had the Terrace back! If something is promised, don't let them go back on their word. I believe the resort should honor all brides they promised the Terrace area. Has anyone on here hired an outside photographer and if so, what were you compensated for not using the resort photographer?
