Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!


Recommended Posts

If you've been married at Dreams Cancun, or can provide help, I (and I'm sure many others) have some questions that I hoping you can answer!!

 

I'd like to hear some feedback on the Photography and Video services offered by the resort? Is it a resort photographer or do they contract an outside company? What's included...hours of service, digital/film, all pics on CD, etc.?

We signed up for a package that included photography/video but now I'm thinking about hiring an outside company to be safe.

 

How was the hair/makeup service?

 

How long did all the legal business take...blood tests, etc.?

 

About how long is the Civil Ceremony?

 

How was the Judge? Professional, easy to understand in English, etc?

 

Did anyone sign up for the stereo/speaker system for the ceremony (not the reception)? It seemed really expensive ($200) and I was wondering if it's worth it.

 

How is the Terrace for the reception? Good location?

 

Is there an option to have a bond fire on the beach with tiki torches, etc?

 

How are the Club Jacuzzi Jr. Suites? Good views of the ocean?

 

Any other tips or suggestions you can think of?

 

Thanks!!! :) popcorn.gif

I'm getting married here 2 in October....these are some of the same questions that I have!
The only thing that I can offer at this point is that Dreams is pretty open for suggestions and seems to want to work with you.....
I'll let you know if I can answer any of these questions at a later date!
Good luck Planning, and let me know if I can help!!!

Hi! I just spoke with Claudia on the phone. For reception the speaker, DJ, microphone, whole set up is $280.00/hr. I clarified with her if this will include speakers and she said yes. For ceremony, if you want speaker and microphone it is $180.00 for the whole ceremony. She said she will send me pictures of the hair and make-up and I will post them.

Hang, did claudia tell you that they use cancun studios for the photography?

 

I had asked if the photographer had a website, but she never said, and she didn't give me a name.

 

I did contact cancun studios for prices a few weeks ago, but they didn't mention that they are the photographer there.

 

I was just curious, sometimes it so hard to get an answer on things!

 

Thanks for posting that info!

Glad to see that there are more Dreams Cancun Brides

I hope there will be married ones on here soon so we can hear first hand experiences.

Let's be sure to exchange info....I haven't received info or pics on cakes or hairstyles....

however, I do have bouquets 1 & 2, centerpieces, site visit shots of gazebo and terrace, photo & video packages, ceremony vows (religious/spiritual ceremony), sample photos from photographer, & menus...

 

If you are missing any of those, let me know...I don't know how to post them here...maybe ill figure that out soon :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
