Dreams Palm Beach Brides 2012 - w/pics

For all of you Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana Brides! Post your date and thoughts/ideas/issues.....

Destination Weddings are NOT EASY. At least the beginning stages.

I have reserved a date and time - unofficial still until my credit card gets charged.

Now looking at reserving the flight/hotel from Toronto for a minimum of 30 people. 

I just came back from visiting the resort and decided that it is where I want my wedding.

Now I just have to deal with the uncertainty of it all - im a little stressed. At least it makes you feel better when there are other people out there experiencing the same feelings.

p.s.

I will post some pics, and what I thought of the place later!!

Pictures would be great! FYI.....I booked through Air Canada vacations and you receive 2 upgrades to business class if 10 people book and 4 upgrades to business if 20 people book.

So, I just recently visited dreams palm beach. I was there the second week of April. I wanted to make sure that I made the right decision in choosing where to get married. After spending the week there, I decided to go ahead and make plans.

Before I go on, here are some photos of a beach wedding. At first I wanted the Gazebo, but this made me change my mind;

By mandys827 at 2011-04-28   The resort is just as beautiful as the pictures, and the people working there are even better! Excellente!! As they would say The food is amazing!! The place is very well run and organized. The only thing I won't give a 10 out of 10 are the rooms. They are very nicely decorated, but the hot and humid air is starting to have its effects. Minor things like peeling paint, little moldy spots in the tiling etc. Nothing major - these things are expected with the weather. One piece of advice - If you are not happy with something, make sure you tell someone - they will fix it and help you out with anything you are concerned with. Customer service is awesome.   I got a chance to meet with one of the wedding coordinators : Awilda. She was so sweet.    Beach The beach is perfect for the ceremony but it gets too windy(in my opinion) for the reception. The pool island is kinda cool. It is sheltered from the wind because it is protected by some of the buildings.   Gazebo The Gazebo is beautiful. Just as it appears in pictures.   I have learned to be patient while planning for this wedding.    If you have any questions, ask.....  

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

These pics are the best ones I have see yet for a set up on the beach.  My wedding is in November and I am very nervous too.

I really hope everything turns out ok.

Mandys - for some reason I can't view your pictures. Do you mind emailing them to me? Sarah.e.paterson@gmail.com

For the pool reception location was it on the little pool island like they show in the brocure? I totally want to have our reception on that island.

I wish I could get free upgrades for our flights! But everyone is flying in from different places so we're all booking our flights seperate.

Sent!

Hey ladies, I am planning my wedding for DPB also, hopefully May 19th, 2012....still waiting to get a definite response from the resort.  I would like to have a poolside reception, not sure about the ceremony, I know you can have it on the beach but is the gazebo the only other option for the ceremony?

I think the only other ceremony spot would be indoors in one of the halls....
