And do any of you ladies know if it's extra and how much? It looked STUNNING. But I know everything comes with a price. Hildrabranda sent me the list extras, and I know for the draping is 1800, everything is separate... it could get expensive quickly lol...

I've contacted a couple people including this couple at Katya Nova that travels all over but will actually be in Punta Cana for the date of my wedding. I wonder if they'll still charge me the outside vendor fee for them... I know they don't charge the fee for an outside officiant like Pastor York. I've asked him to officiate my wedding and as per my WC, there is no additional vendor fee for him. When I spoke Marlene, she did mentioned if the person taking your pics is part of your wedding group then its ok, you don't have to pay the fee. Bc I am bringing my own photographer, I am just paying for her room and flight so I am making her part of my wedding group...

I would recommend you make your plate choices before you send out your invitations, so you can ask your guests what they would prefer, especially if you're expecting at least 50 guests. And that way you'll know which dish to make your main dish and how many you will have to pay extra for the second choice. I wish I had done that with mine, my invites already went out and my WC just told me I would need to let her know everyone's food choices at least 1 month before I arrive! I guess it's because of the size of my guest list. Now I have to backtrack once I get all my RSVPs and ask them individually what their entree choice will be! Thanks a lot for that information, we were thinking of sending invites next month but now I think I will wait. I just send my WC an email asking about the menu and food choices.

Hi Ladies, At what point do we start working on menus for the reception?

That's awesome, we will def. see each other there, I am having a catholic wedding and we using the Bar higuey for our reception.
