Welcome to the forum, it has been a great help to me, i hope it will be to you too. The wedding in Paradise package is free if you have booked 5 rooms. My travel agent sent all my room confirmation numbers to Tiara. Then I am just adding extras I want, and using a different photographer.

I resent it 2 extra times before I finally received an email from tiara saying my deposit went through and she would be sending a written confirmation that same day. I believe she means via mail. However, when she sent the email confirming my deposit, she didn't say the date was confirmed. I am assuming the date I requested is confirmed as I want to book my travel arrangements. Good luck. I think she must just be overwhelmed with the paperwork. I keep trying to remember they are living "Island time" Ya mon, no problem mon. Everything is in slow motion. Liane This Island time thing is going to drive me MAD. I'm a bit of a control freak and like to know whats happening and when and I think someone is going to have to slip a valium in my wine when I get there lol Tiara confirmed our date in an email but that was it. We have booked and paid deposits for 17 people so far but heard nothing more. I forwarded our wedding reservation form and asked her to let me know when she needs anything else ie deposit. She sent me a very short email saying date is confirmed to you already. But when I read that you have all paid deposits I worry I'll get there and be told its not booked!! VallieR I'm so jealous your getting to have a look :-) Would you let me know how private the beach location and gazebo are? I was at Punta Cana Majestic last year and saw a few weddings from my sun lounger but people were able to walk right up to the wedding in bikinis which I'm really worried about. I was talking to a girl on facebook who told me that she saw a wedding on the pier at la romana and people were swimming up to the pier and crowding round watching!!! Not what I want Thanks can't wait to hear your opinions, when are you going?

Look forward to it. These forums are great its brilliant talking to people going through the same process, and delighted we'll be there at same time :-)

This free wedding package just gets more and more expensive lol

I'm thinking Seaside Grill with the Silver package, which (when you add in gratuities, etc.) comes to about $39 US per person. It kinda sucks to pay for food when there will be free food all around us. (for 20 guests, that's 800$). What are you ladies doing? Brilliant, we'll arrange to meet and I can let you see pics and any insight I've gained, I'll be married by then :-)

I have already asked about that, after looking at wedding photos and seeing the bands on peoples arms....... No way :-) and apparently because there is not another resort within walking distance we do not need to wear arm bands. I am just havin my reception meal in the seaside grill, my h2b refuses to pay for food when we have paid to stay at an all inclusive resort. I would have argued this until I saw the menu and we have some real fussy eaters with us who would not like anything on the silver meal list. At least this way we will have money to spend on something else and everyone can order the food they like, so I'm happy. Our photographer (hdc) has said that we will have to pay for a day pass for him, does anyone know how much this is? Also I'm now torn between getting married in the gazebo and on the beach. What scares me is last year we were in Punta Cana and saw a few weddings, some people have no respect and at one wedding in particular there were people in bikinis ( one one woman without a top) standing at the gazebo watching and taking photos!!!! They even managed to get themselves into some of the photos!! Does anyone know is the beach location private or beside the sunbathers

Anyway, looks like I'm getting married July 14! YAY Ladies, what time are you getting married (ceremony)? I am thinking around 5 p.m. so it's not too hot. I looked up the sunset times for that time of year and sunset is scheduled for 7:20 so that gives us a bit of time for photos? What time are the rest of you thinking? Congrats on getting it booked. When are you arriving? I have opted for 5pm as I want photos of sunset in background too. I go home on the 14th so I'll be picked up from hotel at lunchtime, but I'll see you there :-)

Hi Nicole I booked hdcphoto.com today, and i told him how you have been drumming up business for him, thanks again xo

I would really appreciate if you could send me his price list, thanks xo [email protected]

I think they do that to try and hurry you, my TA did the same so I went round a few more and got a better price...believe me he was soon able to match it!! We're paying for7 people so any money saved is really needed, I'm staying until the 14th so I can meet up with you if you want and tell you what I thought and let you see pics xo

Just waiting to see now if it will be the 6th or 13th for arrival. I want to do a beach wedding and then a reception at the seaside grill. Tiera sent me a few emails with photos of cakes and flowers so if you (or anyone else on this forum) wants me to email them or post them, let me know. that would be very kind if you could send them, all i could get was photos of the gazebo and i had to get the TA to get those!!!! What time you arrive on 6th? Did she send a picture of what the setup was like at the seaside grill as thats where I'm thinking of having mine. Do you know if we pick a beach wedding will there be a stereo for my music?? Sorry to bombard you with questions xo [email protected]

So we suggest you to confirm this with the hotel, they will be able to tell you. It does not have to be working days, as long as the judge is able to make sure that the documents are in order"
