Hello Brides, I just returned from my trip! So excited to share that the wedding was more than I can ask for! From the attention of my wedding coordinator, Sahoni (who by the way is the best!! She is really great at what she does and made me feel like everything was going to work out great, which it did), to the decor, entertainment, and food, it was just perfect for my husband and I. Throughout the night, my husband had a personal waiter who made sure that his drink was never empty and Sahoni and the romance team constantly (every few mins) checked on me. I have to say there was so many things that I loved about that night, but by far the violinist was one of my top favorites. He played contemporary songs, Rihanna - Diamonds, Bruno Mars-Marry me, to classics like Vivaldi-Spring. He is great and my guests were so impressed. We then had the Trio (Perico Ripiao) for the cocktail hour, which was a hit for my family, my husband's family and ourselves, our families are Dominican. We used Abentos for our DJ. We gave him a list just a few days before the wedding and sure enough he had all the songs available. He played most of our songs and many of our guests were pretty much dancing the entire time he played. We can't complain. As for the food, we had a buffet (option #2). It was pretty delicious. I completely forgot to eat the desserts but many of my guests said it was very good. During the cocktail hour, we had three hot hor d'oeuvre (chicken, beef, and shrimp) soo yummy!!! My party was pretty large, close to 100 who stayed at the hotel and we had about 100 at the wedding. With that said, I highly recommend that you make reservations for the restaurants during the mornings. However, the romance department will hold about 14-15 seats for different restaurants for each day during your entire stay. Just make sure you confirm with your guests and the romance depart. I decided to use the bridal suite, which I was not thoroughly impressed with. It was the same room my bridesmaids and I had, just with the beautician chairs and large mirrors. The cost for that room was $350. If your bridesmaids are available for you to use their room, I would say save the cash and use theirs. Or ask your romance coordinator to show you the available suite during your stay and decide if it is worth the price. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.
