1) I think that having a beer and wine reception is perfectly fine considering that this is not the true formal event, and you are trying to cut down on costs. Open bar can get pretty pricey.
2) I would opt for a Sunday AHR because the prices at a lot of places are cheaper for this day, and it may just be me but the beer and wine bar option sounds really good on a Sunday lol.
3) Everyone should be able to understand that this is not the main event, but that you are still doing this for them. Maybe the invitations could be made to look more formal? I am having some issues with this as well. I want my guests to dress nice, but I don't know how I'm going about telling them. Maybe when my website is up I can mention something in there.
4) If a ceremony is included in the package I say go for it. It's free and your guests will get to view something they didnt the first time around. I have heard of some brides going as far as wearing their wedding gowns at the AHR. Personally, I would just opt for a nice reception dress.
I noticed that you're getting married at Jesus Maestro, have you been able to get good picttures of the church? What are their requirements?

I was wondering the same thing, but after giving it much thought we decided that we would like to do something like a couples shower. I know that not all of our family will be able to go to the wedding, but I would still like them to be involved in our day somehow. We are thinking that we are going to have a reception when we get back for our family and friends that wont be able to attend the wedding. I didn't think I had anything to put on a registry since my fiance and I have been living together for a few years, but turns out that there are a lot of kitchen gadgets I don't have! Either way it has been fun putting the registry together.

meekins - Last time she contacted me was last week. At first I was getting responses quickly and now it's taking longer. I think she might just be busy. Maybe if this upcoming week you don't hear anything, you can email her again.

sdj327 - I am still working on the menu options. I have read on a few posts that if you don't have too many people you can do a la carte for the menu. We are considering this option, because it might be cheaper than going by a set menu.
Did you choose your own travel agent or is everyone shop around for the best deals?

Thank you ladies for the responses. I was worried about not having enough confirmation in case something went wrong. So I guess I will just do a transfer, like you ladies said.

Ladies,
When sending payments to Mayte, can I just deposit checks into the bank acct that was given to me rather than using a credit card?
Thanks,
Madeline

What photographer are you using?

kalinyc,
I'm talking to Mayte right now about booking my wedding sometime in November of 2013. I'm not sure what their wedding schedule looks like for the Fall/Winter so I figure there is no harm in booking things early.

Hey MissBubbles205,
What is the website for Phil Steingard? I'm having difficulty finding creative photographers, and whenI thought I found the one I wanted, turns out they will not be available for my date.

Hey everyone,
We are thinking about having our wedding in Nov. 2013. Majestic Elegance caught our eye, and I have sent them an email regarding prices. I also like the look of Jellyfish. I just received some information from Jellyfish, and I wanted to know if you have to get the flowers through them, or if you can find your own florist in Punta Cana. If so, does anyone know of any good florists in that area?
Thx!

Thanks for the pics! Did you ever speak to them directly? The wedding coordinator for my reception said she could take care of it if I want. Also, there is another church that said in their requirements that you need to bring the copies and the originals of all the paperwork, rather than sending it by email. Are they doing that there too?
