Anyone have any info regarding this. I am also wondering about the option of hanging paper lanterns on the pergola above the bordeaux terrace. Thanks Ladies Hey SMTC they do allow you pick veggie options for certian guest , all you do is tell them in your planning meeting who those guest are and they will take care of it. they also allow you to hang lanterns on the bordeux terrace and the el patio terrace.

Misty, they still haven't responded to you? I'm shocked. Don't freak out love. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Toya, welcome back and congrats again. Is it a relief to have all your parties done? I wanna see wedding and AHR pics when you have the time to breathe. lol I just had my Lingerie Bridal Shower on Saturday and I must say, it was amazing. Decided to do the lingerie shower because tomorrow is my BD shoot with Jen (freaking out on the inside). I'll post pics of the shower ASAP! Cause we're all picture whores here. lol. And I say that with the upmost respect of course. It's now all starting to feel REAL. 1 1/2 months to go! Hey Jenise are you friends with me on FB ? if so I do have most of my pictures up there too, writing a review is hard work lol.... it makes me really appreciate all the brides that have wrote reviews for us. so I'm working on it ladies

Now with 1 month left to go, I thought they would have emailed me with a assigned coordinator and just confirm things. Am I being crazy I wondered if they have a lit up dancefloor or just a regular one and if we chose to go with the DJ there, can we just provide him with the CD's of the songs we know we want played. This was a main concern bc if it's not worth it, I was going to book DJ Mannia, but I'm afraid my date is probably gone by now with him. Did you use DJ Mannia? If so, how was he? I'm just stressed.... girl you have my number just call me lol....... and for any other brides that have questions I can answer them, just post or send me a PM and I can answer then quicker than I can get my review up lol....

I am damn nervous wreck right about now Hey Misty, what is that you need to know I can probably help you. after being there I really saw how busy they are and how hard it is to respond to all us brides. they run aorund like crazy. and just so you guys know Deyanira is pregnant also, so she may be in and out for awhile, she found out while I was there I'm still working on my review ladies, I want it to be good because my whole experience with DPC and the wedding was excellent. It has been soo busy and we are finally done with all wedding events lol.. we had our AHR last saturday.

Happy Wedding Day Nat !

I will be sure to write a great review for everyone. ladies please don't worry about anything when I say they have everything under control they really do.

Hahaha...I think I just chose to ignore them because the wedding took priority hehehe...back to reality :-/ I'm working on my review, but in the mean time, some of our photos have been blogged!!! Check out these awesome shots from Melissa Green!!! Melissa Green Photography | Utah Wedding Photography, Boudoir and Modern Photojournalist I was lucky enough to have Melissa and Summer photograph our wedding and it was THE BEST decision I could have made. The only things I got to take away are my husband, my memories and my photos. That's a LOT to trust with anyone and we couldn't have chosen a better team to work with. I'll write more in my review!! I promise!! Nat, as you can see from the pics if you get a chance to look at them, we got married in the gazebo. I was SUPER happy with that choice. The beach is nice, but I like the scenery and greenery around the gazebo more. I didn't want the audience that a beach wedding brings. We still had some onlookers, but not nearly as many as if it was on the beach. I took lots of pictures of Bordeaux terrace because that's where we were going to have our "dessert hour" with the fire dancers. When Sharron checked with the schedule of the fire dancers, they said "no way" to Bordeaux because of the wooden pergola structure. It's definitely got to be my favorite view, but we had to do Himitsu due to the fire hazard. I have family photos if you'd like me to send you some. It's the perfect place for lanterns and you can put tons of them up if you'd like! Christine your pictures are gorgeous and I love Melissa's work.

Helloooooo ladies...... I am knocking things off my list more and more and I am almost done with everything for the DW, still working on the AHR tho. My planning thread is coming along as well. I swear these next 2 weeks are going to be the busiest weeks of my life lol...

Hey Amanada, welcome to the forum and congrats, you may wanna check out the Dreams Punta Cana thread that is already established it has a ton of info and pics of everything. I am getting married there in 2 1/2 weeks and that thread has help me with all my planning. Im getting married at the gazebo because I want to wear heels lol.. however I have heard that some brides switched to the gazebo because the beach was kinda windy. I chose the free wedding package and will add on dinner and anything else I need. I hired Micheal Weiler for our photog and his reputation and work is great, there is a thread on this as well. Happy Planning Toya

Erin, where did you buy them from ? because Iwould much rather do that. Especially since I don't want to pay for 50 cigars when we only need about 20and thats prolly alot.
