Hi Girls! I am sorry... my intentions were not to discourage you. Dreams Punta Cana is a gorgeous place. You're right, you are not in your rooms often enough to let the rooms bother you. I just wanted to give you a heads up and make you aware. We stayed in building 7. Our guests were scattered. Talk to your wedding coordinator about having all of your guests in the same building or at least next to each other. When my cousins door frame fell off, she immediately called the front desk and they came to repair it- there wasn't an apology or anything. But, that is not a reason to be worried- the resort is amazing. When my uncles room flooded, they did move him to another room but that is because it was obvious he couldn't stay in there. It was nice of them to change him although I wouldn't expect anything else. I just am not happy that he was inconvenienced. Most importantly!!!! Book your spa appointment NOW for the day of your wedding. When we arrived, I went to the spa to book my hair and makeup appointment and all they had available for the day of my wedding was 11am and we werent getting married until 4pm. Luckily someone canceled and I had my hair and makeup done at 2:30- which was now a little too late. As far as the ceremony music goes, have it on your ipod and the wedding coordinator will play it during the ceremony and switch the songs when necessary. We had the Ultimate Wedding package. Our dinner was the fillet and lobster. It was delicious and all of our guests raved about it! Dreams Punta Cana is a beautiful place to have your wedding. You will not be disappointed. Just take my advice and get the room situation figured out now. And, the spa appointment.

Hi Girls! I just got married at Dreams Punta Cana on December 19th. I agree that it is important to know that what one person feels about something may not necessarily mean the same for someone else. Overall, when we arrived at the resort, we were thrilled. The atmosphere is gorgeous. The resort is truly beautiful. However, I didn't expect our rooms to look like the Ritz Carlton. However, I didn't expect our suite to have mold on the lampshades and window curtains. I can handle the few bugs here and there. But, to have stains on our sheets and comforter was disgusting. My cousin went to her room one night and the door frame had fallen off. That same night, my uncle went to his room and it was flooded! So flooded that their was a few inches on the floor. Its a good thing he has a sense of humor (and had some drinks in him) that he was laughing about he could surf in his room. Their was water pouring from his bathroom ceiling. To me, this is unexceptable- especially that we pay to stay in what should be a nice resort. The outside of the resort is simply amazing. The pool is spectacular. The food is to be expected- nothing amazing but nothing awful. Our wedding coordinator was superb! She was right on top of everything. The only thing we wish we would have done is visited the resort prior to going so that we knew what to request and what to say we didn't want. We had 26 people attend our wedding. The resort is huge! All of our rooms were all scattered so it made it difficult to keep in touch. It would have been very nice to request to have all of our guests in a centrally located building. If we had to do it all over again, I would have chosen a different resort. Possibly Dreams La Romana- we have heard it is gorgeous. Good luck! I hope this helps!

I just got married on December 19th at Dreams Punta Cana. I had to get on here to let all of you getting married in Punta Cana know that if you want your wedding reception to be incredible, you need to hire DJ Mannia. The contact person is Carlos and he is nothing short of amazing. The communication with him is superb. I gave him a song list before we went to Punta Cana. But, even if we didn't, he is so experienced, he would have done a wonderful job. He met us the day before our wedding to go over some details. I felt so secure and knew he would make us very happy. After our wedding, our guests were raving about him. If you want your wedding to be a night people will never forget, hire DJ Mannia! If you have any questions, you can email me at [email protected] WE LOVE DJ MANNIA!!!!!

I am assuming you have no more post cards. How can I order them? What website did you go through? What else did you put in their OOT bags? I am getting married at DPC December 19th. Thanks! Caryn

I am actually getting married December 19th of this year and am using photosouvenir. I faxed over our booking form and have heard from Severine but she said that she would email me soon (that was 2 weeks ago) with information on how to get the 25% to her through paypal. It makes me a little nervous but EVERYONE says that the communication when doing a destination wedding isn't great but at the end everyone pulls through. Ahhh yaya!

Wow! Funny that I am from Chgo too! I have been on this site for months now-looking for a DW location. Ahh! I think you found my dream resort. It looks beautiful. However, you beat me to it. My FI and I are looking to get married in Tulum December 19th- how ironic. The place looks so perfect, we are willing to have our wedding in January. Lets chat- my email is [email protected]. I live in Oak Park.

Ooops! Thanks Kelly. How do I read posts that are only current? Do I go to the last page?

Can you also send me pics to [email protected] Thanks!

Hi Margaret! You took the words right out of my mouth when you described what you were looking for. I have been on the forum and researching places for months! Ahhh! It's driving me crazy! I am definitely set on RM. What resort did you end up going with? Any details would help. You were looking for everything that I am now looking for. Thanks!

My name is Caryn. Our wedding date is set for December 19, 2009. We are hoping to get married at the Dreams Resort in Riviera Maya. However, it won't be open until the Fall (2009). It might be cutting it close.
