  1. Hey Everyone!! I got back about a week ago from my wedding trip to Dreams Huatulco! BEAUTIFUL RESORT! We had our wedding on Jan 26th at approx. 5:00 PM on the beach by the rocks. Gaby did an amazing job setting up the area for our ceremony, as well as the Terrace/Gazebo area for our reception & dance. If you're anything like I was, you are probably panicking because you haven't heard from Gaby in awhile and your day is getting nearer and nearer. But believe me, she's just very busy. I snuck a peak at her wedding calendar and there seemed to be a wedding almost everyday the week that I was there. Our day was absolutely perfect! Only downside was that a lot of our guests were sick that week and two of them couldn't even make it to the wedding. We know this was not something brought on by eating the food or drinking anything, as the first person from our group to catch the flu was my 6 month old nephew. One of our guests offered to take pictures for us on our big day, so we did not pay for any extra photos from the resort. We just stuck with the 36 pics included in the Dreams of Love pkg. We also purchased the video, which shows the preparation of the ceremony area, all the guests arriving, and of course the ceremony itself. Very nice to have the video! The videographer was able to add a song of my choice to the video which was a nice touch. If anyone has any questions at all, send me a message and I'll be happy to help!! Happy planning!! Bri
  2. Hey Andie!! Well congrats on your upcoming anniversary! Gaby hasn't responded to my emails in awhile, which is understandable. She seems quite busy. But I have discussed the reception meal with all the parents and they said they are totally fine with simply taking their kids to the buffet before the reception starts. So that's good. Hooray for saving money!
  3. Nadine, Your pictures are amazing! Makes me so much more excited for my big day! Thanks for sharing
  4. Hey Nadine! You look gorgeous! Sounds like you had an amazing wedding Oh sweet, so they Do credit you if you're not doing the cocktail hour. Was hoping they'd do that. Good to know about the florist in town too! Thanks so much for all the info!! I'll send you a PM about the FB pics Bri
  5. Hi Everyone! I leave for Huatulco on Jan 22nd and our wedding is on Jan 26th! Our symbolic ceremony is on the beach and the dinner/reception is by the Gazebo. Can't Wait! But am starting to get a little nervous. I didn't think everything would be so pricey, considering it's an all-inclusive resort.. We are going with the Dreams of Love pkg. I was told it's $55 per person exceeding the 20 people the pkg covers. Our group is 42 people (36 adults, 6 children aged 3 and under). I can't really see any of the children actually eating the whole 4-course meal! haha Has anyone heard if there is a cheaper "kid-friendly" meal? Also, does anyone know if there is a florist in town nearby that can be utilized? Finding the prices for bouquets, centrepieces, etc a little up there... ALSO, looking over the list of extras that I have, it says "Sound system (speaker) for ceremony - $80"... "Sound system for reception - $150"... Can you not just pay for one and it can be moved to the reception area?!? I probably sound like a cheap-o, but the whole reason I wanted to go away for my wedding was because I thought it would be a lot cheaper.. Any info that anyone can give would be very appreciated!! Congrats and happy planning everyone! Bri
  6. Hi Ladies!! My name is Brianna, I'm from Winnipeg, MB, and my fiance and I are getting married at Dreams Huatulco in January of 2010!! Wow, This forum has been extremely informative and helpful. Hope everyone's planning has been going well. In reading all the posts, I was Very relieved to find out my wedding can be on a Wednesday if I arrive the previous Friday. Phewf! When I read at the site that you must wait 4 days before getting married, I thought it wouldn't include weekends or arrival dates and my wedding would be on Thursday, meaning most of my guests would be flying home the next day. So Wednesday sounds better to me. Hope to get more info from all the brides out there. Happy planning!! B
