Budget

Juan told me he was impressed with himself on the Trash the dress shoot. :-) It was his first one.. So I'm sure you'll end up doing it. :-) Hopefully we'll see the pics this week.

HI I am looking at either the Dream Tulum or ERD for 25-30 people with a reception - and was wondering what others budgets look like for these resorts? I want to stay between 10 and 15K?? What do you think? Also what is the best time of year for these resorts?? Best meaning - No hurricanes and cheapest??

Damn, these budgets are scaring me. Will need to look more into this when I have access to my files...

[Sabrina]

Thanks for the budget! Did this include a photographer, video, and a reception?? How would you rate the Dreams?? Anything I should look out for? Any tips??

Hi there,

Check out the weddings section on the Dreams Tulum Website Dreams Resorts & Spas for the full package details.

The Dreams Ultimate wedding pkg includes some photo & video as well as a reception for up to 20 people.

I'm not getting married until this November so I can't say how it was quite yet. There are some other people on this forum who have already been married. Just do a search for Dreams Tulum & you'll find lots of info.
