April2013

Hello Ladies! We finally got an email from our wedding coordinator. We have a very long form to fill! We have our guest count up to 60 and as we were looking at the costs of the Silver and Golden menus the total cost is outrageous! (Considering this is an all inclusive!) Let's not even talk about the extra charge per person-per hour for a reception lasting more than 3hrs. Has anyone heard of someone hiring the services of an outside caterer? Is it even allowed? Or has anyone recently done a set menu option in a ballroom? I've been trying to ask about the set menu but I don't seem to get a straight answer or the actual menu for that matter. Any information will be greatly appreciated!

Tulumbride2013 and BeaBride, Thanks! Are you guys getting a DJ that will be setting up the lighting and audio by himself? I'm just curious how you guys are working this out. I would agree...if the there is only one DJ (i.e. only one vendor) it should only be one vendor fee or a day pass. Have you read anything suggesting otherwise?

Tulumbride2013: When I first got this information it all seemed clear to me. I don't know what I was thinking. I did a quick search online and I believe this is what Natalia and maybe even Anabel meant: Diameter: 1.8m (approx. 5.9ft) Width (maybe thickness of the table top?): 3.6 cm (approx. 1.4in) - I'm not sure why this dimension would be useful. Height: 80cm (approx. 2.6ft) These seem to be reasonable for 8 - 10 people. I hope this helps!

Hi, When I asked about the dimensions this is what I got: Round Tables: 3,60 Length/ 1,80 cm Width/ 80 com high. I hope this helps!

Hi Everyone! We will be getting married at Dreams Tulum on April 20th,2013! I've been reading many of the comments on this thread. Thanks to everyone since all of them have been very useful! Before I start looking for outside vendors...I was wondering if someone could help me understand how do the outside vendor fees apply in the case of vendors that work with a team? From what I've been reading, photographers usually work with an assistant and I would assume that hiring a DJ implies hiring a team of at least 2 or 3 people because of the lighting and audio setup. Do you know if there would be a fee for each of the members of the team? Thanks!
