Hi Ashleyloriann! This is what Cecilia gave me for pricing through dreams: $280/hr for the DJ, 9ft*9ft light floor $700, 9ft*15ft light floor $800. When you go through the resort, everything (individually) has 11% tax and 15% service fee- which is not included. So if you go with the resort DJ package for 3 hours, and the smallest dance floor, that's an extra $400 in fees. You can talk down the outside vendors (pretty easily). For example- DJ mannia quoted me $300 for a sounds system for the ceremony (which is ridiculous!)- so I told them it was only $180 to get in through the resort. So they offered it at $180 (and that is the final price, no extra fees or taxes, while the resort would charge a service fee + tax if you went through them). DJ Mannia gave me three hours with the DJ (includeds DJ/MC, DJ booth, sounds system, wireless MIC, robotic lights, white balloons, 4 cold fireworks explosions) for $800 (no extra fees). They also gave me a free bubble machine for the receoption just for booking them for the sound system for the cermony. Their light up dance floor prices are: 12ft*12ft= $600, 12ft*16ft=$800. They don't require the dance floors to be booked until a month before. Also, I am planning to get under the table lights through them because they are only $19/each, whereas they are $25/each +tax/service fee from dreams. The prices at first seem good at dreams, until you add in that extra 26%. So if I went through Dreams, a DJ+dance floor would be $1940 total. DJ Mannia would be $1400 (and this dance floor is bigger than the Dreams one). Does that all make sense? Hope that's helpful! Andrea

Megssweet1- that's a great idea for the trade! Let me know what your coordinator says about it. DJ Mannia said they don't need to book the dance floor until about a month before, and I'm planning on getting an outside photographer so I'd be totally into making that trade as well

Hi all- so my wedding is this December 12, 2013 at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa! I wish I knew this site existed when I first started the planning process! My name is Andrea, my fiance is Andy, and we are expecting between 40-60 people. Can't wait to read up more on the resort! Thanks <3

Hi Guys! My fiance, Andy, and I are getting married at Dreams Cancun on December 12, 2013 We are just getting ready to send out our invites now (http://www.invitationsbydavidsbridal.com/Wedding-Invitations/Neutrals/2947-DB8172-Shell-We--Invitation.pro)- there's a link to the invites we chose- they're pretty cute and very beachy. I just booked DJ Mannia as well for our reception. Their rates are def cheaper than the resort (yes, even with the $150 Vendor fee). They also offer cheaper rates for under table lights and the lighted dance floor. Hope this info helps- this thread has been a great resource for me!

Hi Courtney! My wedding is December 12th, and we'll be there the 7th-14th! We'll have time meet up!! Cecilia is also my planner, and I didn't do a site visit either- looks like we are in the same boat!
