  1. what outside wedding vendor are you using? or is it because it's at the jellyfish restaurant? We hired the dominican trio for our cocktail hour. We didn't even get to see or hear them as we were taking pictures on the beach during the cocktail hour. Also, none of the guests really mentioned the dominican trio so I think you could do without. We also bought our portable bose stereo to use during our welcome cocktail party, so you could do something like that. We didn't want to pay for renting their sound system.
  2. Congrats Eveline!! My dream resort was the Paradisus Palma Real but it wasn't affordable for my family or guests. So we got married at the Paradisus Punta Cana - it was AMAZING!!! let me know if you have any questions!
  3. Ya i did alot of research before i booked a photographer. At the paradisus punta cana, there is a $1000 fee if you use an outside vendor. But you can waive this fee if you pay for them as a guest at the hotel for 3 nights, which was $600, so i saved $400. Other resorts don't have this fee so i believe you would have to cover the day/night pass. The package I booked with them was for 6 hours and I also chose to have the videographer for the ceremony and during the cocktail hour. So they were there until the reception but I wish I would've paid them more to stay longer! Hope this helps Joseen
  4. We had our ceremony at the romance foyer and then the cocktail hour was in the lobby area in front of the ballroom. We didn't partake in the cocktail hour since we were taking pictures on the grounds on the resort and at the beach. My mom insisted on a 3rd tier so she paid for it. I wouldn't have gotten it, but if definitely got eaten!!! Let me know if you have any other questions!
  5. I'm from Edmonton! And I was an early bird as well, I booked our resort in August 2012 which was way over a year from the wedding!
  6. Hi again Lisa, We went with the Aqua package...allure was a bit out of our price range. The cake was awesome, we added a third tier and alternated chocolate and vanilla! If you ask your wedding planner, they can send you a list of costs for all of the things mentioned and also ask for the wedding calcluator. It really helps to give you an idea of what things are going to cost! My hair and make up were included in the package, the girl from the spa was fantastic!! I think it was around $100USD each for my mom and aunt to get hair and make up done. I also recommend the bridal suite, they provide snacks and mimosas We ended up hiring the DJ, I didn't want to worry about someone manning the ipod or speaker system. The DJ was great, the sound quality was alright but at least they had lights so it made it more fun! After the reception, you can always hit up the lobby lounge where there is dancing and drinks. Or hit up the Red lounge which is the disco. We had so much fun at both of those places!!! Joseen
  7. Hey Lisa, I just got married November 19, 2013 at the paradisus punta cana. I hired HDC photography because I wasn't satisified with the resort photographer/packages. They were amazing, the pictures were breathtaking and all of our guests couldn't get over how awesome they all turned out! The only thing I regret was not hiring them longer to stay for the reception! MIlan was our photographer, he was great and captured all of our precious moments! Joseen

I will say I've heard Arnaud and Milan/Miljan's name float around a bit but haven't heard of Charly. Anyone had any experiences with Charly? Thanks in advance. Milan photographed our wedding and Charlie did our TTD. Both of them were amazing to work with!! Me, my husband, and all our guests in stunned by how beautiful our pictures turned out. We met Arnaud two days later in the lobby of our resort and we chose the pictures we wanted printed, they delivered the prints, DVD with all the edited pics, and video that evening! They are bloody efficient. My only regret is that I didn't hire Milan to stay longer for our wedding!
  10. Here are some pictures from my wedding!! HDC Photography was absolutely amazing! I don't regret a dime I spent on them
