Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana/Bavaro Wedding Packages??


Recommended Posts

Natasha,

 

Thanks for your reply. Do you know if you have to reserve the Garden Grill terrace? I am asking because the resort could have 2 to 3 weddings in the day and if each group has chosen the Garden Grill, could there be a conflict for using the terrace.Have they said how long you are able to use the terrace before being told to move to another location. Have you considered taking an Ipod docking station rather than renting the sound system equipment.

hi girls, i got married there in may

click on my wedding review link for lots of pics of the resort and our wedding.

 

we had a private reception in Picsas restaurant next to the pool. dinner, waiters, drinks, and cake. then we hooked up our ipod to the sound system for dancing after. our dinner was at 6:30pm and it took until 9:30 pm to finish dinner, speeches, and the cake cutting. so there wasn't a lot of time for dancing. i'd definetly go the ipod route instead of paying extra for a dj.

 

we just had whatever music they gave us to play during dinner, nobody was really paying attention to the music at that point anyways but if you're willing to put together a playlist for during dinner then you can ipod it. a microphone would be nice though, we just talked really loud but it was raining the whole time so i'm sure everyone could hear us but a mike would have helped.

 

we didn't have a rent a sound system but maybe it varies depending on which restaurant you use? we paid $600 for our 24 person reception. our WC told us to ignore the extra per person charge. not sure if it's cuz we were only 24 people but you might want to clarify that with the WC as i balked at that charge when i first saw it too. sounds like the prices went up a little bit from last year

Hey calchic!

Just wondering how you hooked up your IPOD for the recption??
Do you need a specific cord/attachment to do this?

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

 

Our wedding date is July 7 and our reception is at the Garden Grill. Good question about the cord and hook-up needed for the IPOD! I'd love to know as well!

 

Also, I was wondering about the music during the ceremony. My FI has been putting together a list of tunes and the music that we'd like to be played. How did the music go during your ceremony? Were there speakers? Could we just create a separate I POd list?

 

Thanks for the advice!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
