Thanks Patty!!! I wish I could see the pics...darn attachment rules! Lol

ohh didn't realize that was for DJ Mania...I will be using the Jellyfish DJ...but thanks CFK for the reply! I was pretty sure the Jellyfish DJ included an MC as well but just wanted to make sure...does anyone know if the Jellyfish DJ uses lights or anything?

SOUND SYSTEM

ROBOTIC LIGHTS

WIRELESS MICROPHONE

WHITE BALLOONS

 

I did not ask for anything special or for any add-ons. This was just the basic package. 

Perfect!!! It's pretty good they give you all this for $600...can anyone who had a wedding here advise how the MC was? I'm assuming we would just give him a timeline of what we want going on throughout the night & he just does it?

Can any past brides answer a question I have about the DJ? I think I am going to go with DJ Mannia... Is an MC included with the price they quoted or do I need to ask for this separately, or get someone from my group to MC?

thats a good question MissyBee! Can anyone who used the regular Jellyfish DJ advise if the MC was included in the regular cost?

i'm having trouble with wording for my website. i want to let guests know that are coming to the wedding that they don't need to bring a gift since they are already spending so much to come. however, for the other people who can't make it and friends/family who want to get us something, i need to put the registry up. any suggestions on how to explain this situation? Thanks!!!

Here's what we put on our wedding website:

If you are traveling with us for our wedding, your presence is the absolute best gift we could ever ask for.  Some who are not able to make it to the wedding have been asking about giving a congratulatory gift and we are appreciative of that, but it is certainly not expected. We are grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful people, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you all!

Then underneath that we have a link to our registry...

our wedding website is www.weaverandoostyen.ourwedding.com if you want to check it out! I looked up some wording for some other sticky situations and I think it turned out well...

Wow love those pics Matt!!!

I was thinking 3?? Hopefully thats enough

Ladies I know I asked before about round vs square tables and we established that you can either...I'm probably going to go with round tables so does anyone know if they seat more then 8? I'm working out a seating plan and it would be sooo good if I could squeeze in 9 at a couple tables..thanks!

It is included
 

some lovely inspiration for us coral brides

I agree Aynat!! and besides...we are gonna be in the Caribbean so I'm gonna roll with it! We ended up getting the guys ties from tiebar.com....pindot coral tie...at first I thought it was too pink but I had a couple of the bridesmaids bring their dresses over and it matched almost perfectly so we're good to go!

I've been to 4 resorts in the Dominican and none of them serve American Beer...I'm pretty sure dreams doesn't either...he should embrace being in the Dominican and trying something new..Presidente is delicious!

Hey ladies! Just found this thread...Coral is my main colour with tan and pops of turquoise...my bridesmaids all purchased dresses from regular stores that are all different shades of coral and they did an awesome job!! They look so good together!! They are going to be carrying all white flowers..in my opinion that looks the best..and I am hoping to have white and as close to coral flowers as they can get for my bouquet ..i have a couple questions for you ladies...I am having the hardest time finding nice coral decor....it's either way too pink or pretty much straight up orange...did anyone find nice umbrellas for the guests, chair sashes or mens ties??? I appreciate the help!!

Awesome! That is pretty much what my colours are as well..coral tan & small pops of teal...I just haven't seen pics of anyone who has done coral...are you finding it hard to find good coral colours? I'm trying to find mens ties, chair sashes for our resort ceremony, paper umbrellas etc and I find alot of the coral colours they are offering are either way too pink or pretty much straight up orange...it's driving me nuts lol
 

Has anyone done coral as their colour??

Awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know that...I feel so much less stress knowing she is going to be doing my hair/makeup...you're making a good decision going with Jellyfish...we had dinner there last time we were in Punta Cana and loooooooved everything about it! Fiance wasn't sold until we went there then that was it..it wanted as bad as I did...good luck with the planning!

Caitlin were the round tables included at no extra cost instead of the square?
 

hanalulu - I actually recieved an email from Indira last week after emailing her months before! I deleted it because I booked with Krystie Ann but she was VERY expensive..something like $300 for hair & makeup & she will only come to Punta Cana if she does a minimum of 5 people...and you have to pay her travel costs as well....sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Great news ladies looking for hair & makeup services!! I just found out about and booked with a Canadian professional make up artist who also does hair styling and is going to be in Punta Cana doing wedding parties from January-April 2013!! I think she is also there in November as well...you do have to pay for her day pass & taxi do the hotel but I think it's totally worth it to not have to worry..you couldn't sign me up fast enough!! Here is her info:

Also can anyone give some examples of what some of the dessert options were and what the cost per person was to add it?? Thanks!

li282, do you think there would have been enough room to do the dance floor inside if you had 60-70 guests?
