Hi Jaymielee

 

Not got a date fixed to go over yet the flights aren't out here until the end of April so its a bit of a nightmare and the hotel wont give me prices for rooms either lol

 

Nope still not got my contract but she has asked me to pick a menu!! I refuse to get stressed about it now as its too far away and the FMIL doesn't know yet and that will be really stressful lmao

rockbride...

the surf&turf is really good, we had it at seaside grill [its on that thread] its presentation is different but the taste is the same or better for the wedding.

 

im sure that whatever menu it will be fine cause your guests are going to be having such a good time... we were upset that we didnt get a tasting as well and thats our reasoning behind it... make sure no one has allergies

I dont understand if your going for a site visit already, why they cant have a taste testing for you? thats a little ridiculous and frustrating if you ask me.

 

we are going down in june, and i was hoping to be able to taste the things we choose to have for our reception. im also hoping to talk her into getting atleast 2 choices for my guests. im having about 75-100 people.. no way everyones gonna want the same thing... we'll see how that goes...

our site visit wa last minute so we understood but maybe if you plan ahead of time you can set something up with claudia but we did ask when we were down there and she just directed us to what restaurants served what items we wanted to try.

I don't know if this has already been asked or not... but, how handy are the travel mugs that people insist on putting in OOT bags? Does Dreams skimp on the drinks you order? Are the mugs a must? Seems like if you were drinking beer they would bring you a bottle... or is it like small draft cups?

[tlomlad]

kathi... dreams def does not skimp on the drinks... at all!

[Michelle&Steve]

does anyone know if the carpet dreams has only comes in red? i was thinking of ordering a white one , but im still undecided.. and is there even a point of putting rose petal on the carpet, or will they just all blow away... i keep hearing how windy it is there..

 

thanks!

!st about the drinks again like i said they def dont skmip on drinks all mosr beers come in cans except in your room where they are 7 oz bottles and for the most part drinks come in 12 oz glases but if you get say a frozen or specialty drink it will come in a hurrican/martini/or margarita glass, i think we are going to use 20oz hibiscus flower sports bottles with lids.......... i think they wil be nice for the beach and we are not customizing them so it will save on cost, and with the lids it will not let sand in your drinks at the beach and it will provide a bigger cup so you can get more booze in one drink and not have to worry about another trip to the bar, even thought the serverers are so good there that they are always on top of it if you need another drink, these bottles are from Oriental Trading and i think are 14.95 a dozen so not to bad price wise they also have alot of other options if you wantedto make them more with your theme....hope this sheds some better light on the subject.

 

2nd i did not see any other color beside the red carpet at first we did not like it at all but as we look back at our pics it does look really nice and stand s out but it also will not work with our color scheme, as for the rose petals i think it will be a crap shoot there were def times when they would have stayed but for the most part they def would have blown away soif you can go a cheap route where you will not mind to much if they blow away i say go for it but if not then you might want to skip them but you will see when you do your site visit.

Thanks. I am debating on passing on the cups. We will see though. Seems kinda silly if they don't skimp on drinks. I like the beach idea though with the lids on the cups.
