Glad everything worked out! You mentioned that Lorena went out of town, does anyone know if she is back or if anyone is checking her emails? I have sent numerous emails lately with no response (not uncommon I know, but we leave in 2 weeks!) Does anyone have the email address for the videographer that is included with the Ultimate package? Lorena had sent me another wedding planning form to fill out listing them as [email protected] http://www.videowedd.com/ but when I emailed them to confirm that we wanted to upgrade to HD quality and did not want additional music added over our speaking in the video I was told that their contract with Dreams ended in February??? Does anyone have a different contact?

Another question, we are planning on paying for the hair, makeup, and a mani or pedi for the bridesmaids the day of the wedding. We are supposed to get a 15% discount on services with the Ultimate package. Shouldn't this appy for all of the services for the bridal party since it is being billed to our room and not theirs? We have stayed at other Amresorts before and whenever we did ANY type of service at the spa or salon we were allowed to use the hydrotherapy circuit. Dreams is telling me $43 per person for us to go the day of the wedding even though we are spending so much money there! What are the rest of you planning on doing the day of your wedding? We were planning on the girls spending the day at the spa. I'm starting to feel so ripped off with things!

Is anyone using a different photographer than Adventure? We are booked with Juan Navarro for our pictures and it was my understanding that since we don't need the pictures that are included in the Ultimate package that we could not exchange it for anything else other than photos. We are planning on doing a meet and greet at the lobby bar with our guests and decided to use our included photos and album then. I emailed Adventure and the response was that we only get a 30 minute shoot and we were told "Keep in mind that when you decide to use the package for a different time other than the ceremony the amount of images delivered could be less than 50." How is this fair??? If we have already paid for a certain amount of pictures and photographer time, why do we get less just because it isn't during the ceremony?? I am so annoyed by this. Has anyone else been told this?

Regarding the video, we booked the ultimate package which comes with a video, but we are upgrading to HD quality for $324. Just thought I would mention that it is an option. We have booked Juan Navarro for 8 hours of photography, and I'm not sure what to use our included photo shoot for. I was considering using the included photo shoot when we do our welcome gathering. Anyone else booking a different photographer? If so, what are you doing with the included photos?

Is anyone planning on doing a welcome get together? I really wanted to have all of our guests gather at the same bar just to meet the rest of our group. I don't want to pay an extra fee to close down a location. Does anyone have a suggestion for a location? We thought it would be nice for everyone to have other friendly faces from our group during their stay.

We are getting married at the gazebo and having our reception on the pool deck. I'm not crazy about the jacuzzi areas for the cocktail hour and was thinking of someplace air conditioned if possible. We will have about 30 guests. Does anyone have any suggestions? We were thinking about inside desires lounge.

I may have pushed the DJ issue a little with them. I had wanted to use Doremixx but Lorena told me he was prohibited and AVI or Visual sound were the only authorized vendors. I am having a bit of a problem getting a quote for the dance floor though. AVI said I needed to get the prices from Dreams for all of their services, but AVI also told me they would give me a discount on the lighted dance floor since I was booking so far in advance. When I continued to question the DJ services and prices with Lorena I have been told multiple prices. I'm very frustrated with the whole DJ and dance floor issue. It seems like the more I question and push an issue though, the more options I get from them (and the more things are included). The contact info I was given for AVI is [email protected] and [email protected]

Hmm I'm really not sure if we got an early rate or not. We did block 30 rooms and had to pay a deposit to hold them. Our guests need to pay 50% by Dec. 14th and we need to drop any un-booked rooms by then or we will lose our initial deposit. We haven't seen great prices for flights yet. We usually fly Jet Blue to Cancun but they haven't posted their schedules yet for April. They do run fare sales though for cheap non-stop flights to Cancun periodically so we are hoping to catch one of the sales and let our guests know. We will be there April 3-10, and our wedding is on April 6th. Sounds like you got lucky with your room rate. Unfortunately for us Dreams extended their peak season for 2013 and we ended up right on the end of the higher rates. Have you sent out invites yet? We sent our save the dates a year in advance, and I'm getting ready to finish up the invites, but I can't decide on an RSVP date. Since we need to drop our unbooked rooms by Dec 14th I'm thinking about that for our RSVP's but it seems so early

I am trying to figure out our times for the wedding. I was thinking: ceremony: 5 cocktail: 6:30 reception: 7:30-10:30 I was considering bumping back the cocktails to 6:30 instead of 6 to allow us more time for pictures and hopefully we would be able to actually make it to the cocktail hour to spend time with our guests and enjoy it too. I know there would be a gap in time for the guests but we were thinking they could go freshen up or head to the lobby bar. Thoughts?
