Am I able to book my own outside vendors at Dreams or do I need to run everything through my WC there? I remember a statement on the Dreams contract somewehre that says "all outside services are commissionable to Dreams" or something similar

 

I set up the photographer on my own and she told me that the payment to him would go on my final bill to Dreams. Is she going to mark up the price?

 

I am working on my DJ right now, is she going to put that on my Dreams bill too? Firedancer's

 

I am doing a lot of the research and negotiating myself so that I don't have to have an outside WC do this for me and that so I can negotiate my own pricing. If its all going to end up being commissionable to Dreams, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

 

What has been everyone else's experience?

Hi Deanna!

 

With regards to your question about Dreams marking up the photographer fees I think it can go either way:

- It could be that the photographer offers a special rate to the resort so that they can mark it up and offer you the same price the photographer would give you directly, or

- The resort plainly marking up the photographer services.

 

The best way to find out is to ask the question directly to your contact at Dreams.

 

That way you make up your mind about doing the negotiations yourself opposed to letting Dreams do the leg work for you.

 

Wish you the best!

I negotiated with my own photographer, and he is billing me thru dreams. I plan on just keepin organizied notes of my agreed prices and making sure they match when I pay the bill.

 

But I had not thought of all the questions you asked.

 

Sorry I am not a better help.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
