The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

I'm with you ladies on the menu thing.  I agree with a previous comment that we should expect to pay... which is fair.  But when we're paying more per person for dinner than we would have paid if we stayed local, I would at least expect to be able to have more say in the menu!

 

Does anyone know if the buffet would offer more choices?  Plated service is nice, but if the buffet would offer more options I'll probably go that route.

I did enquire about the buffet, I remember reading the choices somewhere, possibly on here....anyways, they told me they only do a buffet if it's over 50 people.

I need some advice on hair and make-up.  I have it included in my package but I'm considering using someone else, the woman that is doing my centerpieces also does hair and make-up including a trial.   Based on experiences anyone has had would you recommend to keep the hair and make-up included in the package and just schedule a trial or to use someone completely different and just have it done in the room?

Hi V!

Is DT requiring you to pay an outside vendor fee for the women who is doing your centerpieces?

If they are I would probably go with the same lady for your hair/makeup...as they can't charge the same person an outside vendor fee twice. That way you could also consider doing the free package as you aren't using a lot of the perks included in the package!

True if I'm already paying for her to be there I might as well get my full $90 worth! I've thought about  switching to the free package and just adding stuff on, but I totaled what my cost would be with doing the free wedding and it's a lot more expensive than just keeping the package with the extras like my photog, DJ, and an outside florist.   Which is kind of sad, but this woman has been great she's doing these centerpieces for $45 each where DT quoted me $240 each!!!

vlynnw where did you find the flower lady from, and if possible would you be able to give me her contact information please.  Is she doing your bridesmaids flowers as well?

I actually found her from another bride on the forum. Here is her website http://www.floresjulieta.mex.tl/217534_rental-centerpieces.html   she is willing to do whatever you want and can do a lot more than just flowers too if you are interested in anything else.  She does bouquets, but I had already ordered real touch bouquets a few months ago from Angel's Accents. I sent Julieta the pictures of my bouquets as well so she had a clear idea of what direction I was going in.

sorry forgot to add her email [email protected]

Vlynnw - thank you so much for that information.  I had been looking for somone to come to the room for my bridesmaids and I did think that the prices for flowers by dreams were a little pricey.  For some reason I am having trouble viewing the website you posted...do you know where else I can see pictures of her her work - either flowers or makeup?
