LCBride2007

i would doubt it because they have the day trips planned and they time it accordingly, but i was married there almost 5 years ago so maybe that has changed

The bus that picked your guest up at the resort to go to the marina,  was that the same bus that picked you and your guest  up at after the wedding-?

Thanx

ps.I think its pretty nice of you and all the other past LC brides to keep in contact still for us future LC brides!  Mucho Grasias!!!

 

 

 

I can't promise it was THE exact same bus since I didn't take the bus over, but it was the same service.  I had my Caletas coordinator set it up.

as a side note, and a personal favor ... if you haven't already can all of you that have been married at Caletas please PLEASE post a review here ... http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/las-caletas-adventure-weddings

thank you!  it will help future brides so much if we have all of the reviews in one place.

I arranged a bus back to the resort - well, the WC (Kelley and Nicole at the time) did that for me, it was included in the price.  i stayed at Dreams too!

yay, carly!  i can't believe baby D (i almost said baby X to indicate no name, but i changed it!) is almost here!  i feel like the pregnancy went super fast but this whole journey of getting prego and staying prego ... FOREVER.  i am over the moon excited for you and i can't wait to meet this little guy!

and joanne ... YAY, a girl!  i actually think margaret is pretty cute, but i kind of like those older, traditional names.  they're really not for everyone though.  what's your #1 name, i forget?  (i wil try reading back)

Dominican Republic Wedding Forum | Dominican Republic Resort Reviews

welcome!  have you given any thought as to where you wanted to get married?

I didn't do one, I just didn't want to deal with it - it defeated the purpose of getting married away for me.  There are lots of conversations about this in the AHR (At Home Reception) sub-forum ... here it is ...

its in the header above every post you make

well, the deciding on where was the hardest part for me, especially since it was sight unseen!  a TA will really be able to help you narrow down the choices based on partical things like ease and cost of getting there, resort options based on what you're looking for (AI, kid friendly or adult only, things to do off resort, etc.).  so i'm glad you contacted someone.

once you decide on that, the rest should fall into place!

my friend had her baby this morning and named her Jacquline Olivia.  very pretty, though I keep calling  her Jacqui O in my head!

Welcome, Jennifer!  No worries, we all started out that way.  But if you find the right "team" in Mexico, they can make it really easy.  There is a ton of info. on this site and it can be a tad overwhelming at first, but here are some threads to start you out ...

If you want a TA, you might want to try one of the BDW Travel Agents.  They Specialize in Destination weddings.  You can contact them HERE!

If you do not know what TA you want to work with, just fill out the form Contact a Destination Wedding Specialist HERE and Tammy will direct you to the best agent that fits your needs.

i will say, my subscriptions changed recently too, even though i didn't make any changes.  i get some, but not others.  i'll bring it up with administration.

don't get caught up in the "beach wedding" thing, this is your wedding, end of story.  i've seen women get married in a sundress to an all out wedding gown w/princess flair and detail.  honestly, this is more about what YOU want and feel comfortable in.  don't think about what you SHOULD wear but what YOU feel good in.

hmmm, i can't help much because i was the same way.  there was no "this is the one!" moment for me.  and while i loved my dress i spent waaaayyyyyy more than i wanted and in the end i would have been just as happy with a much cheaper dress.  but i'm not a fashion girl so that stuff isnt' too important to me.  but to me it doesn't sound like you should get the dress.  are there others you like as well?

omg, so friggin' cute!

I don't know any out of Chicago, but I would STRONGLY recommend one of our BDW Travel Agents.  This is what they do, they help plan destination weddings.  I used Tammy, and she rocked and honestly saved me a ton of headaches.  Since you really do it all over the phone anyway, I don't think the location of the travel agent really matters.  You can contact them HERE

ooohhh, there's a contest!!!

http://www.facebook.com/BDWForum

it works for most, and if it doesn't you should contact administration and they will get it to work.  we can't help if we don't know there's an issue!

welcome to the forum!  not sure if you've had a chance to look around yet, but i'd suggest starting here ...

Dominican Republic Wedding Forum | Dominican Republic Resort Reviews

wow!  my guess is that you don't have many guests to invite.  people will definitely remember these invites!

it was such a hard decision for me too!  have you read all of the reviews on them here?
