Married or going to be married at Grand Palladium Punta Cana?

Sounds like you are realising how non-stress free DW really are. I hope things work out for your guests booking online. The only downside would be that you won't be in nearby rooms, but my group was all spread around the Bavaro section even though we booked with a Travel agent.

 

Resort photographer info:

here is their website: JALU.US

if you go to the "about us" section you will find the prices for weddings and sessions, TTD is treated as a session. The most expensive package includes a video of the whole day. All the pictures you see are from the photographer named Peter Reilly. I had a fellow named Andres who I was very very happy with.

Another OOT bag question...I'm debating on whether we should write on the bag:

Carrie & Andrew's Wedding

Punta Cana - April 16th, 2010

 

or

 

"To Have and To Hold"

Punta Cana - April 16th, 2010

 

(kind of symbolic of the wedding and also that it's a bag "to hold")

 

The only reason I'm not sure is that I want people to use the bag afterward and I'm afraid if it's as specific as having our names on it, they might not be as likely to use it. What does everyone think? I asked a few friends and am getting different answers from everyone. Let me know what you all think =)

I like the second one better, for the same reason you listed above!! they will always remember it was your wedding, so the bag is just a nice extra and the saying is perfect!

Ohhh Danielle, that sucks!!!! We had guest book with our group later then the orignal date and they ending up paying $300 more per person. I was in the same boat as cherrybomb, we are booked through sunwing and they ran out of rooms, so they had to buy more rooms from other tour operators, thats why it costs more, because it actually costs them more. So stupid, as far as I'm concerned the price for group booking like weddings should all be the same as we make them ALOT of money!!!!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! This is our year!!! lol

 

I also have great news!!! we were able to book another week. So we are doing 2 weeks arriving the 10th and leaving the 24th. So the weddings the week after me I still get to meet you girls woooooohooooo!!! lol

We were only able to book the royal again as he said all the other rooms on the other palladium resorts are booked. ah well (cause I knew if we were on any other side we would have been upgraded anyways)

[sungoddess_08]

Yes I am very excited. Much better then getting married coming home 2 days later and going right back to work, At least we can some time relaxing and enjoying the fact we just got married. Plus we didn't have to sacrifice not having a legal wedding there.. we are still getting married by the judge and all.

We are getting married on the Tuesday april 13th same and Mrs Miltary. you?

[caribbeanLover]

Oh wait I see June 28th lol

[sungoddess_08]

That's great!! We are just going to do a ROV - and get married here awhile before, we have to figure out how much time in advance we should do that - I want to wait as close as possible to the date, but someone said paperwork takes awhile. Ah, that's something else I need to look into this weekend! lol...

 

But yes - we leave the 22 and get married the 28, with our guests leaving the 29. We don't have flight times yet, so I just hope everyone doesn't have to leave too early on the 29th. Then we move to Dreams also on the 29th! So excited.

Happy New Year everyone! Haven't taken too much time to check the site out and get caught up. Now it's time to buckle down and get the guys dressed as well as the girls. My dress comes in for a fitting at the end of March (nothing like cutting it close!). Got a treadmill for Xmas so now there are no more excuses!

 

How is everyone doing? I got great news over the holidays. My cousin is now coming to the wedding with her boyfriend Ted who just happens to be a photographer! We were not planning to get professional photos done since my brother in law is great at photography and my FI's daughter is studying photography now. However, Ted has offered to do our photos as a wedding present so that will be awesome! We can have guests take photos and he can take some too!

 

Is anyone doing the disposable camera thing? I still love the idea of guests snapping shots of each other throughout the evening. Anyone else thinking of disposable cameras on the table?
