Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!

[*JillD*]

I don't see why that would be a problem

[BRENDASTAR]

I was sent those same vows for the non-legal ceremony. However, I don't see that it includes the sand ceremony part. Where would that go? And i just asked if other traditions can be incoporated. Do I have to write it all out for the minister?

 

I was told that there would be no time to meet with minister. but there will be a dress rehearsal. I'm getting married in three weeks!! And I still don't have some answers to some questions!! I just hope it all pans out

Hi, we are bringing our own minister with us. He's known my fiance since middle school and we couldn't imagine our wedding without him. Claudia didn't have a problem with it but I didn't ask her about trying to get a credit for it -- good idea!! Let me know what she says about that!

Brenda- I got a different answer about the minister in an e-mail I just received today. I'll copy and paste below. Maybe it will be helpful to others. And just as a side note, I e-mailed these questions to her today, and received a response right away...WooHoo!


Claudia-
A couple of question for you.
1. Does Dreams allow outside vendors for flowers?
No I`m sorry.

2. If not, can you put me in contact with the florist
that you use? I have some very specific ideas of what
I would like for the bouquets that I will be needing,
and have not seen exactly what I'm looking for in the
bouquet options you have sent me. Can I e-mail
pictures of what I like for price quotes?
Yes please send me the options you want..

3. Are you able to customize cakes? What flavors are
available?
vanilla, chocolate, strawberries, 3 leches (only 2 layer cake)

4. Will we be able to discuss/customize our ceremony
with the minister beforehand?
yes.

5. Also, we would like to set our ceremony time for
4:00. Will that be a good time?
yes it is a good time in October

Thank you in advance for your help,
Susan

...So I guess I didn't ask specifically if we could meet with the minister beforehand, but I'm not sure how else we'd "discuss/customize our ceremony"

Hi Susan! I sent her an email this morning and I am still waiting! My wedding is not until Feb though...
She didn't say if the cakes are customizable... Glad to see there is chocolate because that is what my FI wants. Maybe we can do one layer of one flavour and one of another.
I'll be interested to see what she says about the flowers. I sent her a similar question and pictures.

Thanks for posting these responses!

It may be the time of year, that the minister is less available. I hear May is a busy month. I am still gonna try and see if I can touch base with him or her beforehand. We'll see

At least the prices are all fairly close, so it gives you an idea of what the BM prices will be.

the brides bouquet is, some of the packages include corsages/bouttenieres(sp?), but I don't think they include bm bouquets

Jilly is right, the Ultimate packge includes an upgraded bridal bouquet, 4 boutonnieres/corsages, floral centerpiece for the dinner table and one for the ceremony.

Too bad they don't allow outside florists because the BM bouquets quoted to me were about $50 USD.
