Dreams Cancun - Questions for those married here!

[NurseM]

Ok having another panic attack. Now my TA just emailed me and told me the resort is completely sold out from May 25th on over the memorial day weekend!! UGHHHH so now trying to tell people to book before our wedding instead of staying after. I thought this was all suppose to be easy. I am trying really hard to be laid back!!!

Two more weeks - exciting!!!!  Hope you have everything pretty much done so you can enjoy the excitement instead of being stressed.  And congrats on picking up the dress - that certainly has to make it more "real".

Try not to be stressed.  There is nothing you can do about the situation other than to tell any unbooked guests what is going on and encourage them to get their butts in gear.  And remember that if need be guests can stay at another resort and have a day pass for the wedding.  Just breathe....

 

One suggestion - can your travel agent check to see if there are any groups with blocks of rooms reserved for that time that may be releasing a few rooms?  For my wedding in early November, my release date for any unbooked rooms is mid-August.  So MAYBE ~ 2.5 months before your wedding there might be some rooms that open up.

Oh no! Now I am nervous too! Our party is leaving on the 25th of May.  Have you tried online sites instead of TA?  My family is booking soon probably this week so hopefully there is space and prices does not go up too high. Good Luck

Do you have a room block? If you do then you will be fine. Most of our party wanted to stay until may 27th that was the problem. Now I have extended our room block to include May18th to the 25th so we just have to convince everyone to stay longer before the wedding. Our TA was directly in contact with Dreams it just filled up really fast.

No we did not have any room blocked. I thought about it but we are not using a TA and everyone is booking through websites. I was hoping a little before arriving in Cancun, to inform the hotel the number of people in our party so they can have us close by.

Will you be using Dreams to create your centerpieces? i am planning to create my own but purchase flowers there

 

[NurseM]

I am making all my centerpieces and splitting them up among family members to bring down, it was just to expensive for flowers and centerpieces from Dreams. Really simple centerpieces are all i am going for. How many people are coming to your wedding?

[muitoquerida]

Im making my own centrepieces as well. Im going to walmart on the friday and buying 7 vases and taking the orchids from my ceremony decoration:
