Welcome and congrats on your engagement. The toughest part for me was choosing the location, first the place and then the resort. But thankfully with the help of this forum and all the advise from the BDW brides I was able to make my decisions. Research the locations, pricing, resorts and make sure that the location you choose has EVERYTHING you want. I ended up choosing Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana and to date have been extremely happy with the service from the WC there. We have 44 guests coming and can't wait....20 days to my wedding. Good luck in your search.
