Never fear, I think we all have a little nervous ;-). We are getting married at DPB on April 14th. We thought about the different packages and after talking to our WC we pick the most basic one and had a lot of add ons, in the end you get everything you want and don't want -- plus the price is slightly lower when picking your own add ons (but you have plenty of time to choose that). Our WC told us they don't make changes on any packages above basic, as far as taking things off or subs. We don't know much about resort photographer, but reading reviews we heard good things. We decided to go with Jamie Dimitry - http://www.jamiedimitry.com/. He is a photographer that frequent travels to DR with 2 other photographers from Canada, because it's a busy season from them around that time, they don't really charge traveling expense. The other photographers are Phil Steingard (who we met in DR 3 months ago) & Michael Steingard - all 3 do really great work. We are also doing a Symbolic Wedding and yes the WC will perform this, it's just easy for us to doing all paper work in the states and just the symbolic ceremony there with friends and family. You'll be fine, just remember one day at a time and before you know it your day will be here and perfect. As far as time on ceremony, it totally up to you guys....most couples shoot for 5pm and go right into reception around 6pm-7pm sun setting time.

Hello All - First of let me say congrats to all brides to be and that I really enjoy the thread (very insightful). I confirmed my date for April 14th, 2012 and have been working with WC Mercy Aquino. I'm so excited, but kind of on the fence with ceremony being in gazebo or beach? Gazebo gives you a little bit of privacy but the views of the ocean are just amazing. Question: Has anyone been in talks or book a photographer?? Any suggestion on one? Thanks

We got a response within a week from WC Mercy Aquino, she has been great with the replies since then.

Hello All, I really enjoyed reading the threads on regarding Dream Palm Beach Brides (this new one and the old one) and congratulations to all the brides & grooms to be out there :-). We visited Dominican Republic a few times and heard nothing but good things about Dreams Palm Beach. We confirmed with our WC about a week ago (deposit accepted and all) for April 12th, 2012 at 5:30pm. Does anyone know of a good photographer in the area, or have any leads on a good photographer?? Right now, we are just going back and forth with sales department on trying to get a group rate on our guest. Thanks All, Vee
