  1. I worked with her too. She was very nice. We had our reception at the Steakhouse. Now, once I arrived I was a little concerned since the Steakhouse is near the pool. But it was beautiful and private once they decorated it. Also, when we went on our excursion we saw some other resorts and by far the Iberostars were the nicest! We have stayed at this chain before and we were happy that we chose it for our wedding. Good Luck!
  2. I just got married last weekend at the Iberostar Bavaro. The hotel and the beach are beautiful! We have stayed at other Iberostars and that was the reason for choosing this one for our wedding. We had about 50 people attend. I met with the wedding coordinator the day after we arrived. We fianlized all of the details when we met. My only complaint was the miscommunication in pricing. I am extremely organized so I had been emailing with the wedding coordinator weekly asking many questions expecially about pricing. Then, during our meeting the pricing went up and I was not too happy. But I showed them the emails and they adjusted it! We started with a rehearsal dinner at the La Dorado. It was great! We rented it out for just our party that night. They have a great setup. For the wedding, we were married on the beach at 5pm, cocktail hour at 6pm, and then the reception started at 7pm. I would suggest not starting the ceremony until 6pm (depending on what time of year you go) and then not doing a cocktail hour and starting the reception at 7pm. The cocktail hour was nice but pretty expensive. While our guests were at the cocktail hour, we took pictures. We went through the hotel for the photographer. He did an ok job. We had lots of people taking pictures so we were not that worried. A quick tip....the total price for the wedding does not include the photographer. The are paid separate. The only thing that I would not suggest is the Saona Island excursion. So not worth it! Everyone talked it up but it is just another beach and a REALLY LONG BUS RIDE! The beach by the hotel was just a nice. I would not waste your time or money. All in all the wedding was wonderful and all of our guests had a great time!
  3. I am getting married at the Iberostar Bavaro in April. The WC has been great answering all of my questions and getting back to me in a timely matter. We have also stayed at one of the Iberostars in Mexico as well and had a great time! It took the Majestic over 2 weeks and a couple of emails to even see if they had anything available. Good luck!
  4. Hello, Does anyone know if the Iberostar Bavaro requires a deposit on the wedding before you arrive? Thanks!
  5. Hello, What has your expierence been using the DJ's that the hotel provide? Was it easy to communicate and let them know what songs you would like played and when? Thanks!
  6. we decided on the steakhouse...i think that it had the best selection of food!
  7. Which restaurant did you decide to have the reception in?
  8. Thanks! I will check the link out!
  9. Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for excursions or something to do the day/night before the wedding? We were not planning on having a rehearsal dinner. I am also looking for a reliable excursion place to book through. Any suggestions will be helpful! Thanks
  10. Hi Ambeato, I having been talking with Ivanova. She has been pretty helpful and usually gets back to me within 1-2 days. The email address is weddingsbavaro@iberostar.com.do. Good luck!!
  11. I am getting married at the Iberostar Bavaro in April 2010. They have been very helpful and nice. The Iberostar Grand looks so nice but I have kids coming to my wedding, thats why we didn't go with that one. I have also stayed at some of the other Iberostars and had a great time! The Majestic took over 2 weeks to respond if they even had the date available. I thought that was a bad sign. Good Luck!
  12. Hi Oryx, I am already booked there. I have stayed at the Iberostar resorts in Mexico before and had a great time. The food and the people were great so I am hoping that the wedding will be just as good!
