Dreams Punta Cana Brides

I am beyond pissed about these changes... the set-up fee is the one that really gets me!! If I were getting married at home, I would have had my friends and family do it, so why would I pay a bunch of Dominicans $15 per person to do it? Doesn't make ANY sense! Toya I thought of you when this started coming up, since you have so many people!! I'm really feeling bad for the girls who are close from their wedding date... this is absolutely ridiculous.

I am going to have to print off the new pricelist and go through everything to highlight my concerns. Then email the WC. How can they make changes this significant when we have already agreed to previous pricing And it's not like I have the option either to change hotels...wtf.

Tam I said the same thing my MOH and family can set up, sh*t I don't need to pay $15 per person to do that thats really ridiculous. Deyanira and Sharron are gonna be getting so many emails from us, cause I am drafting mine right now too and I'm going to ask all these question and get specific answers cause this just doesn't make sense to do that. and they always add that clause about **prices are subject to chaneg anytime** to cover there asseesss

Hello, everyone. I have been following yalls thread because this is one of the places I had thought about getting married at, but I pick Palma Real. We had something happen like this too. I was freaking out because I would of been unable to have my wedding there with all the changes that were made, but I contact my WC and ask if all the change that had been made applied to me since I was book before they happen. I was told they did not apply to me because I was already book. To take a little bit of stress off I would get in touch with your WC and wait to see what see says. Then if she comes back with yes it does apply then I would freak out, because they just dose not seem fair. I am sorry this is happening to yall.

That's what FI said... he said that there is NO way this could apply to us, since we are already booked. Although I have seen stories where the w/c says that its all good, nothing applies and then you get down there and they try to charge you anyway. I am going to make sure to bring anything and everything in writing when I go, because otherwise it is a "he said she said" event.

Anyone have any news?

Yeh Nat, that would $1200 freakin dollars in set up fee for me thats just ridiculous, I could see if it was even $5 or something but $15 thats a freakin meal. I don't know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna send my email to Deyanira see what they say, and then go from there. I really don't want to have to switch places it took me forever to narrow it down to DREAMS I really don't want to go thru all that again.

Thanks Jennifer, I hope this applies to all of us as well, because this has truly just shocked all of us to take so much away and then to charge so much more. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for all of us.

Just patiently awaiting someone from Dreams to respond...

That's a lie...i'm not being patient at all. I'm refreshing my email inbox every 10 seconds in the hope that Carolina e-mails me and puts my mind at ease!!

Toya thats what I mean... it took us a lot of debating about hotels, we were stuck between a few but narrowed it down to Dreams because their prices were reasonable and I didn't feel like they were trying to gouge people... now, even though MAYBE this won't apply to us, future brides are going to pay through the nose!! So muchg for simplicity in a destination wedding... holy cow!!
