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

HI girls-I just posted some pro pictures from Erik Rodriguez. If you are looking for a photographer I would definitely look at him. My husband and I are literally blown away at the pictures.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm about to book my photographer (Citalli from Claudia Rodriguez photography), I inquired about doing a TTD session the following day and she quoted me 1000$ USD for about 2 hours of work. Is this the going rate for the TTD sessions? I thought it was a bit pricey considering I am paying close to 4000$ USD for the previous day...plus I am canadian and our exchange rate sucks so $4000 USD for me is 4500$....

 

I have already asked her for a package deal...still waiting for her response. Otherwise, does anyone know who I can book for a TTD session only at a cheaper price?

 

Thanks!

Hi again,

 

My FI and I would like to have a horse (preferably white) at the end of the ceremony for us to exit on. Does anyone know where I can organize this? Either through an outside vendor or via the resort?

 

Thanks

 

Jessica

I had a TTD with Erik from Claudia's team and I will tell you that he was amazing. Yes, you might be able to find someone cheaper but you will also not get as great quality. I just got my pictures back and we were blown away by how amazing they came out.

Hi Girls! Had a quick question for you all...I have a laptop I'd like to bring to Tulum but Im not sure about the security in the rooms. I read somewhere on here that the safes are kinda small....does anyone have more information on keeping laptops in the safes? (size of safe?)

 

Thanks! Leaving in 3 days!!!!

Does anyone know of any xel ha discount tickets? We really want to go and take the kids and our group but it's $75 adult to get in ($37.50 kids) and I'd love to find a discount of some kind.

 

Also I remember reading on here of someone who order sandwiches packed to go on an outing ... does anyone know more about that? I'd love to take lunch and eat on the beach after touring the ruins.

 

I'm down to the wire ... we leave in 11 days.

 

Thanks for all of the help ladies! *SmiLes* Suzanne

both Jay and I put our laptops in the safe and we were fine. A few times we left them out and they were fine also.

I believe our reception is 7 to 10:00 also, but I have heard that other brides have successfully gotten it extended a half hour or so.

Has anyone else who is getting married at the end of June had really slow communication with the coordinators this month? We emailed Aurora on June 2, 8, and 11th and have not gotten a response from her. This is so frustrating because we leave on the 24th, and need to wait for her response to finish some stuff - including a mass email to our guests who have been asking us questions we don't have answers to. Plus, they have STILL NOT confirmed whether we have the Seaside Grill, and now we are less than 2 weeks out. Ugh.

Our reception is the same length....and I am sure I will see you in the Disco - because 10PM is way too early for some of our friends and family to call it quits )

Yes, I have had the same problem. I have asked several questions...three different times starting back on the 2nd of June as well. I really need to know the conformation of our menu so I can get those printed up since we leave on Saturday...

Also does anyone know if we can pay before we go down? One of our family members who can not go because of work wants to pay for the wedding as our gift...so I REALLY hope that he is able to do that...

I am also bummed because we are not allowed to do the bonfire as of two weeks ago because of sea turtle nesting season. I have asked how to set up a privite event/ make resv. in one of the resturants and still haven't heard a word...STRESSED!!

Lindz when are you leaving, I know we are getting married on the same day (So Exciting) did they confirm your reception location?
