Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

[ap070680]

Still on my honeymoon, but just wanted everyone to know that words cannot describe the experience we had at Dreams.  It was the best time of my life.  I will write a detail review when I return.  I got married on October 19 and already have my slideshow and pics.  I will share the slideshow with you.

Oh I know I just got FI's card and gift (I splurged!!! but figure hey we get the big diamond they might as well get something too!) and also took myself on a bit of a shopping trip and got earings for TTD and candles for the room, ha ha! This planning by now is all over the place! 3 weeks till we leave!!!

I want a long reception as well...I know I won't want it to end and even if it was 8 hours long, it'd be over too fast!

Other than the DJ, what else do you have to pay for with the extra hours? The bar? I'm forgetting if 3 or 4 hours is included in the package already...

I narrowed down my top resorts based on which had after-hours bars! Desires at Dreams in Cabo was a lot of fun at a wedding last May. We thought it was funny to pronounce it like the "Desiree" woman's name. Now it doesn't sound quite as hilarious...

 

By the way, I love your website, what service did you use?

As per Ana - 3 hours are included, and I argued with her, that our guests after 3 hours can go get their own drinks and so no need to spend another 2 hours * USD 15 per hour * 50 guests... Well the new coordinator is going back on allot of stuff! I have been assigned a lady but we arent getting anywhere!! At this point I just need to find a night to compile all emails and prices and all details from the last 12 months of planning and just email it to them for now final confirmation!! Sorry way off topic, but basically nothing beyond DJ will be paid for extra time. We also have fire dancers - so hopefully the 4 or so hours of dancing will be a good time!
