    Hi Vane23!

    I LOVE your video. Who did you use for a photographer? I'm planning my wedding for 2014 at the hard rock but I can't seem to find good pictures of each private party location (pools, terraces, etc). Do you have any advice or pictures?

     

    Thanks!! :)

     

    Hi! Thank you! I actually brought my own photographer, should be getting my pictures by the end of this month, but if you want to add me on Facebook I have some pictures there!

    Here's my page:

    Hi Vanessa! I love your video! Who did it? You looked stunning!!

    Hi! My video was  done by Mibsan Espejo, I originally hired Jochy Fersobe for video and photo and turned out to be a complete disaster, I hired him to do my wedding and last minute I was told his crew would be doing it, finally they cancelled on me last minute after much arguing and I was able to find him last minute! I couldn't have made a better decision, he was less in price and did an absolutely amazing job! I should have my whole video this month:)

     

    Here's his Fb page & email

  3. Do not use Jochy Fersobe! I contracted him at first and they gave me a whole run around after I gave them a deposit, they told me it was one price at first and then they said that he would not come himself but he sends his crew. If I want him to do it it's wayyy more! I had a feeling that he had booked two things on the same day, and I was being stubborn and I got annoyed at them so still said I wanted to use his services but with him attending the wedding because that is what I requested since the beginning and I even forwarded them emails saying that  specifically. They gave me the run around till about a month before my wedding where I had to call them numerous times and actually send a family member that lives in Santo Domingo to their office to get an answer. They basically cancelled on me, 3 weeks before my wedding my cousin found me this amazing videographer for wayyy less!  I loved working with him and he is on point with everything, he even send me a few pics he took that day.
     

  4. Beautiful Pictures!!!

     

    Question Did HRPC provide the cake? Did you bring your own decor for the cake? They are telling me they can only give me a plain cake with white icing? Were you in contact with Creative Punta Cana yourself? Or did you go through your WC?

     

    Thank you so much for you review! So helpful! I'm getting married on October 12, of this year and the communication is horrible!!

     

    Thanks again! :)

  6. Hi!

    Is your quote $250 per night for double occupancy? Or is $250 per person /per night? I was having an issue when first booking because it was a little unclear.

Im so excited about the resort credit being extended

     



     

  7. I'm confused, being that the Hard Rock is no longer with Palace Resorts, is all the information that we are getting from Renee & Maylen (our WC's from Miami) not accurate. It's so annoying that they don't even email you right away, they wait sometimes weeks to do so.  Should I just wait and speak to someone directly from the hotel? This all seems so absurd to me.

  8. Thanks! This is so helpful

    Would you happen to know Nancy ( the onsite WC) email? I just want to confirm with her that I am able to use Caribbean Celebrations for decor. I've been emailing them back and forth and they are so quick to respond and easy to work with, unlike Maylen and Renee. I really do hope I can use them for decor because I'm getting no where with these 2.

     

    Thanks again,

    If you want any other colors or a special type of linen, you'd have to pay extra.

     



     



     

  9. I chose the complimentary package, so I'm adding all the additional decor.

    With the reception, being that I'm requesting the ballroom, do they include tables and chairs, glasses, linens, etc. or is that all I have to add on and pay for extra? Just wanted to know because they tend to charge for basically everything and I haven't heard from renee or maylen in regards to this only from caribbean celebrations.

    I'm only asking because my friend got married in DR last year and had to pay for every single item rented.


  10. I also wanted to know about the plated dinner menus, that does sound absurd if you have to choose the same dish option for all your guests. I just emailed her and I got an automated response saying she won't be returning an email back till after a week??

    Also, does anyone know how the plated diner menu works? Do I have to choose one main dish option for everyone? That sounds a bit absurd...

    Yea I know most resorts have more than one, so I did think it was weird when they only put "ballroom" in my proposal and since I haven't gone to the actual resort I had no clue, now I have to stalk Renee and my new WC Maylen to try to get this info :/ It's so frustrating that they don't get back to you right away or at least in a timely fashion.

  12. Does anyone know if there is only one ballroom in the resort? I'm working with caribbean celebrations for my decor and they need to know size of the ballroom I reserved. Renee and my new WC have not gotten back to me and it's been a week, and in my proposal all it says is requested, element terrace for cocktail hour and ballroom for reception, it doesn't specify which one. I was under the impression there was only one ballrrom??

    So confusing!

     

    Thanks! :)


  13. LalaJ,

     

    Are you going through the resort for decorations? Or are you going through someone else, or  bringing your own?

It was very easy, I was transferred to her and we started talking right away about the wedding plans.
