Big, BIG thank yous!!!

 

Jen2011-Thanks for the info about the sand. That helps a lot!

 

Tifuhhknee-I'm looking into Octavio...Ivan was still high for us. Thanks!

 

klarson & mexico102-Thanks for the catamaran company info! I think it would be such a fantastic alternative to doing the traditional reception meal. I mean, we're in Mexico, right? Why stick with tradition?!

 

Thank you for your help girls! I'm finding that nailing down some of these details has gotten a little tough. Any help I get from you all is VERY appreciated!!!

No problem, oscar ernie!! Does anyone know how much of a deposit is required for the wedding packages?

Can someone tell me what you get in the preferred room as opposed to the regular room at DPA?

[klarson]

* Private Preferred Lounge

* Preferred Status and Amenities

* Concierge service

* Daily continental breakfast service in the lounge

* Afternoon hot and cold hors d’œuvres

* Exquisite desserts & fine liquors in the lounge

* Complimentary newspaper in room every day (English or Spanish)

* Free internet access in suite

* Free computer access in Preferred Lounge

* Upgraded mini bar service

* Upgraded bath amenities

I think the deposit is $500 but you don't have to pay it right away. I can't remember but I think it took them awhile to request it. So long as you are booked I think they trust you will be there.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself- I'm Jillian from St Louis and my fiance and I are getting married at Dreams Puerto Aventuras on November 10th, 2010. My fiance and I have been engaged for 3 yrs and while we were on vacay in Puerto Viallarta in May we decided to come back to Mexico in November and get married! Yay! But holy cow! That's not alot of time to plan a wedding! A beach wedding is what I have always wanted- low key and intimate. So far we have 20 confirmed and invites have been sent. And that is it!!!! I have so much to do! I wanted to thank all the ladies on this thread for sharing SO much helpful info. It has really helped me to get organized and start planning what I have to do before the big day! Dreams looks gorgeous and Jacy has been really sweet- I am really looking forward to the big day!

Thanks Klarson... What do people think of the upgrade? Is it worth the money?

I'm thinking about going for the upgrade for part of our trip- we are going down on Saturday and the wedding is Wednesday (so maybe Tues through to the end of our trip). It would be nice to have the extra space to get all my bridesmaids and myself ready on the big day! I read on here that one bride had a fairly small number of guests and after the reception, the entire group went back to her suite and continued the party! That sounds like a fun idea!!! I haven't even talked to my WC about it yet so I'm not even sure if it's available but I think it would be worth the extra $ for us!

As far as the deposit goes...we're doing the "free" package and our deposit was only $100. Jacy did request it pretty early on in order to confirm our date. Like others have mentioned, I'm pretty sure it's $500 for any of the other packages.

Welcome, Jillian! It looks like my fiance and I are getting married the day you guys arrive and then leave the day of YOUR wedding! If you arrive in time, feel free to take a peak at our ceremony in the gazebo. It's at 3pm. Our reception will likely be on a catamaran, otherwise I'd invite you to check that out too.
