Thanks CC! =)

Thanks Mel2010! I bought it from H&M then added some sworvski crystals in the middle for some bling

LOL, thank you. I woke up at 4am! ahh! It was most definately worth it though

our bridal party came out to "bringing sexy back" by Justin Timberlake and we came out to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica since we are HUGE NY Yankees fans :)

Plamento- I hired DJ Mannia outside of the resort but if you get the upgraded DJ package through DPB, they do use them. I got a better deal doing it this way. I shared my opinion a couple posts ago about hiring a DJ over using an ipod..but maybe this will change your mind. I freaked out when i saw this video. You do not want to have to worry about this stuff on your wedding day! it should be smooth with out any effort on your part! Disaster Ipod Wedding-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFlwAl5nhLQ pnavaretta- my photog's name is Bailly Photo and they are from Albany, NY. This was their first destination wedding. the pool reception is awesome, so I hope you get the chance to do it. I dont think alot of brides were interested until recently. I was the only poolside reception in the 9 days I was there.

I used DJ Mannia and he was fantastic...definately recommended! I wanted my reception to be a non-stop dance party, so getting a DJ was important to me. DJ Mannia was worth every penny. I highly suggest getting a DJ so that you are not worrying about an IPod or anything like that during the reception. Too many things can go wrong or not smoothly and you dont need to be stressed out! I was so care-free and it was a great feeling!

We brought our own photographer down with us to Punta Cana and he is amazing! Check out our awesome wedding pics and breathtaking TTD session!! Wedding photos: http://baillyphoto.com/blog/?p=3201 TTD Photos:http://baillyphoto.com/blog/?p=3294

Here is my review ladies... I will also post it in the review section! PM me if you have any questions =) and check out my pics! Wedding photos: http://baillyphoto.com/blog/?p=3201 TTD Photos: http://baillyphoto.com/blog/?p=3294 Dreams Palm Beach Review - Allie.docx

Jenleah...the poolside reception was alot more private than I had thought it would be. There was a flea market going on near by and still I hardly noticed any people. Even if there were onlookers, you dont notice them, because you are on this island and in the moment, nothing else matters except your wedding. It's like being in your own little world. 50-60 might be too many though, I would check with Melanie. We had 9 at the head table, then 4 tables which could fit 8 people at them, but there wouldnt have been any room for dancing with more tables.

we had 40 people and it was perfect. I highly reccomend the pool reception! it was amazing! I will be posting a review within the next few days.

You too Elizabeth!! =)

Yay! Welcome back! Was the are by the pool well lit at night? Do you have any idea about noise control (the DJ) since it's at the center of the resort?

We werent thrilled about those choices either, but have decided to get legally married at home. We're looking at it as a "technicality" and more like signing some papers then actually being married. We arent considering ourselves married until the symbolic ceremony at DPB and only a few close family members know the truth.

Elizabeth, where are you! Come share your DPB experience with us! I've been dying to hear all about it!

Welcome Paige! I'll add you onto our list =) chelymo 05/2010-congratulations=) MysTea 11/01/2010 - Congratulations!!

FUN!!

I searched for any threads on this already & didnt come up with anything. I'm surprised! I have been racking my brain trying to come up with fun & different songs for the bridal party to come out to, as well as my FH & I. It seems like every wedding I go to, either "Lets Get It Started" or "Tonight's guna be a Good Night" are the main songs played for the entrance. I want something different. What song are you & your FH being announced to? How about your bridal party?

I have seen pictures mostly on the facebook page, Dreams Palm Beach Brides. (if you havent checked it out yet, you should! there are a ton of pictures!) and from what I heard from Yeisy, you do not get your choice of ballroom, so I cant be sure I wont end up in that room. I wonder what the are by the pool is like. Do you know which pool it is? I would be concerned about the lighting mostly. Do you think a dance floor would be needed? I am trying to avoid having to rent one since they are so expensive!

I am bringing my own photographer from home, but I would say 90% of the brides use HDC photo and are happy with them. I also booked DJ Mannia and am super excited about it! Their reviews are unreal. As for flowers, I am using angelsaccents.com. They are "natural touch" flowers so they arent real but you would never know. They look beautiful & are more practical for the whole destination thing. A ton of brides go this route, and angelsaccents has quality stuff. I should be getting my proofs from them sometime in the next few weeks. i will make sure to post a picture so you can see!

maybe you could "accidentally" spill a nice neutral color paint on one of the walls while you are there & force them to paint the rest LOL. Let me know what they say about taking the art work down off the walls too. I think what would be perfect is a terrace or something, But i havent heard of anything like that at this resort. If you see or hear of anything like that when you're there, please let me know!

Oh & we have 43 people total =)

Elizabeth, I WISH I knew!! I have everything taken care of EXCEPT this! I originally wanted to have it in one of the ballrooms but I am getting so discouraged by all of these pictures I am seeing. Purple walls, really? Its seems like everyone that has their reception in the ballroom, gets the one with the purple walls (which I despise). I really am not that picky, but I hate the way it looks in all of the pictures. I'm hoping to get some feedback from MysTea & maybe you? (you're visitng soon right?) what are you planning to do for your reception?

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to MYSTEA, who was married yesterday at DPB! Cant wait to see pictures!

MysTea!!! 4 days away!! Good Luck!!! Cant wait to hear all about it & see lots of pictures! Have an amazing time!!

I have also e-mailed Jellyfish... if anyone hears back with prices and other info, please share! =)
