I will write a full review later this week but, I just wanted to send over my slideshow so you can see my pictures. My wedding coordinator was Veronica. She was amazing to work with and easy going. I got to work with Anel at Adventure Photos who works at the resort. LOVE LOVE LOVE her. If you are getting married at Dreams I highly suggest to work with Anel!! Not only are her pictures good she is amazing to work with. She has so much energy and really made our day fun.

Will your travel agent make adjustments if prices drop. I've heard that they most will reimburse the difference if prices changes. I do agree about the "group rate." It's not really a discount at all. I found our exact quote "group rate" prices on bookit.com! I think the only benefit to groups is the whole "6th room booked free night" promo.

Ashley,

 Your wedding was sooo beautiful. I think those are the best pictures Ive seen yet from the resort photographers!!! I do have a couple questions....Did you get your cake from the resort too or did you use an outside vendor? Also, what time was your cermony? Seemed like perfect weather!

 

You looked amazing!

[sarcrook]

Oh...YEAH!!  That is so fun!!  I'm so glad they like them!!

I also sent them to all my bridesmaids and they loved them. My color is teal/tiffanybluish color and it has been pretty hard finding a color that is right and not too blue.

 

So we are going to be exactly one month after you February 24, 2012!

Your wedding was beautiful!!

 

Can't wait for your reveiw..would love to know what Photo package you got - also which DJ.  The dance floor looks a bit small to me - did you feel that way?

 

Thanks in advance for your review!

We are getting married in July too and was wondering the same thing.  I was in Cancun in July once and I know the weather is bearable at night but I hope it's not too hot and wonder if I should get a short dress for the reception as well.  Let me know if you find out anything else.

We are coming four days early to explore Playa Del Carmen alone:)  Thinking about staying at the Royal Playa, we stayed at the Royal in Cancun before and we absolutely love the resort, so beautiful and food was just incredible.

Brooke,

 

That's what I am doing too.  Been going to the gym more than I have for the past year lol.  I am also doing the P90x.  A month before my wedding I am also going to do a 20 day master cleanse.  That will get me all skinny and my skin will be sooo glowy.  I've done a 10 day master cleanse in the past so I think this time I will try a 20 day:) 

 

My sister and aunt both dropped so much weight before their wedding and they didn't even diet, they just said it's from stressing but my problem is that I do not lose weight from stress lol.
