Hi,
I had the same dilemma a few weeks ago. I'm getting married at Dreams Palm Beach in November 2010. We have to pay everything in full by March 18. Everyone also had to make a deposit by February 11. My travel agent tried to push the early deadline for may, but couldn't do anything since Dreams is offering this promotion.
All of our guests were aware about our destination wedding before Christmas. However, no one was prepared to pay everything this early. It's mostly our family members who decided to book now and not wait for better deals. Four of our guests decided to wait and see if the prices would go down closer to the wedding.
Personnaly, I didn't want to wait and knew we might pay more for booking this early. I wanted to make sure that we would get married on the day we picked.
If you are willing to wait and want to get married on a specific day, contact Melani, the wedding coordinator at Dreams, in order to make sure you can get married.
Hope this helps a bit.
Cheers
