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

[*Krista*]

Okay, to anyone who has been married/been to Dreams Tulum, can you tell me if the ipod docking station is removable? I'm thinking we could take it down to the pool to do a first dance after the ceremony, but I'm not sure if we can. Also, what batteries does it take. A while back someone mentioned AAAs or Ds but I don't think anyone confirmed it. Help?

 

Thanks!

I think the Ipod docking stations USED to be removable, but they must have been stolen quite frequently because I hear they are bolted down now. I've read what girls commonly do is bring down their own Ipod station from home (you can buy them from anywhere between $100-500) or most likely borrow one from your friends or family. They aren't very loud though, so hopefully you have a small wedding group (<20).

Sorry to ask this once again..but to any of you recently married brides (who seem to disappear after getting married forever!) - did any of you inquire about the $20 restaurant menu for your reception, instead of the silver or gold?

I will keep asking this question until it is answered My wedding group is already 70 people so the meal costs are very significant.

Can you guys help me with the following question…

 

1-If I rent chair bows from the resort, do I still have to pay a set-up fee for them to put them on?

 

2-For the cocktail hour the ultimate package comes with a mexican trio can I use a Caribbean trio instead?

 

3-Does anyone have the schdule for theme nights?

Hopefully the white options will stay free and my only charge will be the $150 setup fee. To have an orchid in a vase, I was quoted $30 per stem. Anyhow, I'm working on other options...just wanted to let y'all know. tt

Tara I think that this is the first time anyone will be charged for the white tablecloths and napkins unless other brides just haven't mentioned it before. Do you think it is b/c you are using the free option? That could add several hundred dollars to some of our tabs. Aurora definitely does not seem to want to give any freebies away but it seems like white should be free. Please keep us updated on what you end up working out.

I won't have 70 people, but will definitely have over the 20 that are included with any of the packages so the $20 option would be really helpful to me too. Hopefully someone is able to take advantage of that and let's us know!
