My reception was at the seaside grill and my candles wouldn't stay lit. They were floating candals, and they were sitting near the top of the vase. If they had been lower in the vase (i.e. sheltered) I think it would have been fine. so if your votive holders are high enough maybe it will be okay. Maybe you could test outside on a windy day (or inside, in front of a fan) to see how your candles hold up in your holders? The LED ones are a good idea but definitely much more expensive.

Hi Ladies, just wondering, has anyone used the house band at Dreams? When my parents did the site visit Landy had said that they were very good, but I haven't seen them mentioned at all on here so that leads me to wonder. My mom is being pretty insistent that we have live music at the reception at DT, especially since a band back in NY for our home reception is like 10K!!! Has anyone used the band or heard the band? I don't want to agree to this and have it be a disaster!

Just thought I'd ask what everyone else is doing just in case I'm missing something! thanks

I had this same question before leaving. You pay a % fee whether it's traveller's cheques or cc. If you pay by cc, they charge you in pesos, so they will take the quotes dollar amount (in US$) and exchange it to pesos, and then your cc will exchange it back to US$. I was worried the resort would use a poor exchange rate to charge me for the wedding fees, so I decided to use traveller's cheques so that I was paying the advertised prices. But really, I don't know if that's better, that's just what I decided to do.

It was the standard 2007/2008 guide price. $50 each. I"m sure its more for the 09 pricing. Not sure exactly.
