Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
We love your kids! However, to give you parents and other guests the opportunity to celebrate without having to worry about young eyes and ears, we politely request no children at the ceremony and reception. That said, Dreams Natura is a family friendly resort and we welcome you to make this a family vacation if you choose. Babysitting services are available through the resort and the teen club is open late for ages 13 and up.
Question
What is the dress code for the wedding?
Answer
Semi-formal attire for the ceremony and reception is requested. The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will take place outside unless there there is rain. The events will be on concrete or wooden deck, so no need to worry about heels sinking into sand or grass. Note that while the ocean breeze should be lovely in the evening, while the sun is shining it could be hot.
Question
Can we stay at a different resort?
Answer
We highly encourage you to stay with us at Dreams Natura to enjoy all of the celebrating that will be happening! However, we will note that if you are not staying at the resort on the evening of the wedding, the resort will charge you a $75 per person outside guest fee for a 5-hour wedding pass or $120 per person for a full-day pass.
Question
What is the weather like that time of year?
Answer
The temperature during the day in June can get into the high 80s and humidity can be high. We suggest packing light and cool clothing along with your swimsuits and lots of sunscreen.
Question
Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?
Answer
We ask that the ceremony itself is unplugged. Please turn off put all phones and cameras during that time so you can enjoy the moment with us while the professional photographer does their job : ) We will happily share the professional pictures of those memories with you when we receive them. However, we welcome you to take photos during the cocktail hour and the reception and share those on your social media pages at any time! And we'd love for you to share them with us!
Question
Will I need a passport?
Answer
Yes- travel to Mexico does require a passport. Given the backup at government offices because of COVID, we recommend getting or renewing your passport if needed as soon as possible. And be sure to check the expiration date! Mexican and US Customs agencies recommend that your passport be valid for a minimum period of six months after your travel dates to avoid any potential problems at the port of entry. You can get all of the most up to date information on getting/renewing your passport at travel.state.gov.
Question
Are you taking COVID into consideration?
Answer
Absolutely! The safety of our guests and ourselves is our #1 priority. Laura and Scott have been extremely conscious of and closely following COVID safety protocols since the beginning of the pandemic. And we have been closely following infection rates and vaccine distribution. As of now, we are cautiously optimistic that we will feel safe to travel internationally again by June 2022. However, we will keep everyone up-to-date with any changes to plans or protocols if we experience another surge in cases. At this time we expect all guests to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by the time of the wedding. We expect ourselves and our guests to follow any and all CDC recommendations that may remain in place at the time of travel, including mask recommendations, particularly on airplanes.
Question
Are you registered for gifts?
Answer
Really, you sharing this moment and being in our lives is more than a gift to us. And we also understand the commitment that attending a destination wedding entails, so there is no need to get us gifts. We are however in the process of setting up a small registry for those who truly feel inclined.
