First, here are some of the question and answers: What size tables do you have so that I can plan out the seating chart? In a round table you can accomodate 6,7,8,9, or 10 people Can you give me the typical timeline of the ceremony / reception? ceremony is @ 20 minutes, cocktail 1 hour, reception 3 hours Also, is there a tour booth at the resort to help setup excursions? What would be the best way to look into excursions in Cancun? please contact: dreamscun@amstarmexico.com (assuming she means dreamscancun@amstarmexico.com, but haven't tried it yet) Can you give me a quote for the tiki torches for the beach reception? no charge for this Also, I recall reading there was a discount for the price of the sound system if you book it for multiple hours. I would like it for the ceremony and the 3 hr reception. Can you confirm the pricing? sound system for 4 hours $ 700 usd (not DJ) Will a webcam be available by Oct 26th? unfortunately we don`t have available this project for weddings yet

These are very helpful, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for letting me know, since I don't go on their site that often. I'll see if I can make a bargain to pay $500 instead of half of the package. BTW, I am using the Ultimate package as well.

I emailed her, and she said she has to get it by that time. Sigh...

They have a new WC? Claudia is gone? I've been trying to e-mail Claudia for months now and no response..do you have the new WC e-mail? thanks~

Claudia isn't gone because I just received an email from here a couple of days ago. I think another WC by the name of Gaby replaced Cecilia.

Hey girls question I am planning on getting married at dreams in oct 2009 but i can not set a date till after the first of the because of FI job so i was going to send a lil something to let people now are plans and then tell them that a formal save the date will follow after the first of the year do you all think this is a good idea. Also if i book in Jan is that enough time for the resort?

Now I feel like the package and fee isn't the biggest problem, the air fare would be! lolz... I am going to use most of the stuff included in the package, so I will stick with it, and hopefully won't need to add on too much other stuff!

Is a program even needed for a sand ceremony? Great, now I have to get on the ball for that........
