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


Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for your sweet compliments!  I will be posting my review soon, probably this weekend, trying to make it very throughout and match up good pictures.

 

Ashley- I got my chair sashes at http://www.weddinglinensdirect.com/8xorsatu.html

They are 8x108 Organza Sash -      50585                    8 x $5.90
Turquoise50585(10pcs/pk)

Super great deal!

I actually don't know the beach name of where we did our TTD pictures. I'll have to ask our photographer. But I do know it was a cenote/beach about 5 minutes north of Dreams Tulum. You pay a small fee to use the beach and cenote. It was super gorgeous.  The sand was craaazzzzy soft. Loved it.

 

DanniS- I actually requested the canopy to be set up like that :) A little difference than their usual fare. My flowers were part of the package (I think usually they do these very tropical flowers/lilies x 3), but I'm super allergic to lillies and I wanted something different and more classic looking. The tulle setup was $60, since they had to wrap it around the legs. Chump change! And then I had 2 bags of purple rose petals thrown down the aisle, and those were $18 each. I think I would do 4 bags if I had to do it again (my wedding coordinator said the standard was 20 bags!!! boy am i cheap!).

OceanWonderland and barbiegirl... you both look fantastic!  Less than a month to go for us... 10 Mar cheers.gif

 

I was wondering if any of you (at DT now or fairly recently) could shed some light on questions are guests are starting to ask.  Most of us are coming from the UK and will need to exchange currency.  Some of our guests are being told not to get dollars as it's more encouraged and preferential to use pesos.  We were there in 2006 and found that just about everybody accepted... even preferred dollars.  What would you recommend?

I have traveled to the area many times and have never exchanged money.  They gladly accept the US dollar everywhere we went--most even preferred it.   I'm not sure about UK currency.   When down there, if you do decide to go with pesos, be careful where you do your exchange at.  Maybe google current exchange rates first--have heard of many people getting ripped off.

For any past brides....do you have a link to your wedding video you can share?  I contacted the videographer for a sample video she said they only have one and the link she sent me doesn't exist....her response was oh sorry.  Wow thanks that helps a lot, lol.  Just trying to see what it's like we are thinking about hiring Mike Cantrell instead for our video also so we can have more than just our ceremony and possibly do a live video feed for our family that are unable to attend.

Hey Veronica,

 

A friend of mine just got back from her wedding there and I saw her video that they did.  It was much longer than I thought, about 30mins.  The first few minutes were just shots around the resort followed by them videotaping the photo session she had before the ceremony.  Then they did the ceremony and then just had video of them while they were taking pictures.  And that was about it.  I'm wondering how it's going to work if you bring in an outside photographer though.  Is he still going to follow you around and videotape while you take your pictures?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
