I'm having a hard time posting pictures...this is my 2nd attempt Snapfish link Snapfish: Share:Registration_Opt1

Hello everyone, I just want to share the great news. I just got married in punta cana at excellence punta cana resort and spa. It was great! The WC did everything i asked for. The photographer was wonderful. I am going to attemp to post some pictures. Review: There are not enough words to express my feelings about Excellence Punta Cana. This was my second time staying at excellence and it was great both times. Ana Luisa Rivas is the best wedding coordinator in the whole wide world. She went above and beyond my expectations. The day we arrived at the resort Ana welcomed us and surprised us by giving us a private checkin at the excellence club. She immediately took my dress and my husbands tux and assured us everything was going to be fine. Our room was beautiful...there was a flat screen tv...stocked up bar with international drinks...fruit basket and welcome letter. The next day we met with Ana to go over my options. She covered all of my questions. Ana scheduled our romantic dinner and made sure everything was going well...she frequently made phone calls to our room whenever she needed me. Ana also reserved seats in Tuscana for a rehearsal dinner. The night before the wedding the groom was provided with his own room which we didn't turn in until the next day. The day of the wedding I went to the spa to get my hair and makeup done. There was ana making sure everything was going well. Her assistant was great also...i had forgotten my hair flower and she went to the room to get it. My hair and makeup came out just the way i wanted. When it was time to go..There was ana to escort me to the horse and carriage. She would inform me about anything that was going (including the fact that my mother in law still was not ready). The ceremony was beautiful. My cake was just what i had asked for ....it was perfect. The cocktail hour was beautiful. Ana included details here and there that i would not have thought of. The reception was by the pool because my first choice was not available for the amount of people that i had. Everything was beautiful. I provided ana with the chair bows, centerpieces name holders and candles but she added the flowers to the chair bows. ...it was a beautiful touch. I just want to than Ana Rivas for the great job she did for my wedding. She deserves the best. Love you Ana and everyone at Excellence Punta Cana and some more

lol....I'll do that. Thank you

I just got an email from TSA and they basically are saying the same thing...it depends on the officer that checks my bags. I hope they are nice. Thanks

I am really worried about taking my flowers as a carry on in a shopping bag. Does anyone know how strict they would be? I have to take my flowers and the bridesmaids flowers.

I am not sure if they can. I'll be sending you the pictures soon

I am getting married there in August. I went there last year and everything was great. The WC is so helpful and responds to emails quickly. I have recent photos of renovations that went on in the hotel this year. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thank you girls for all of your help...I should be sending my papers this week.

Is anyone using WEDO to translate and legalize documents? I am planning to use them but I would like to know your experiences with them?

Welcome...you are going to love it here

Excellence definitely has it avaliable....I am not sure what happens when the wedding takes place on the beach. I personally don't like the way the excellence h&c looks I would prefer not to have it.

I went to Excellence last year and used them for a private photo session. The pictures were beautiful. Arturo was our photographer. We are thinking of booking him again. I was thinking about the reception package...i'm still not to sure.
