Dreams Punta Cana Brides

[Carolina13]

Natalie; So I emailed the WC to let her know that we were going to go with July 20 (ceremony at 4, cocktail at 5 and reception at 6) And this was her response:

I have scheduled your ceremony on July 20^th, 2013, please confirm if you want a Catholic ceremony and also note that the time will depend on the Priest availability.

 

On the 20^th we already have two more weddings scheduled, and we must book a location for each one, I have attached the two locations available but you can just pick one.

 

First of all I thought the priest was available at 4 because she told me that the only time available was 4. Im so confused. And second, I thought I had the option to have the cocktail at one location and the reception at another.

 

Can someone please clarify this for me please. Im going nuts!!!

Carolina13 - my WC is Carolina and when she told me the time I wanted was available, she told me that it is based on the priest availability - first come first served. And also today she told me that cocktail hr and reception have to be in the same location.

 

A more general question: for all those brides that are about a year out and have travel agents or not, have your guest started booking yet? I thought it was too early but many brides seem to already have travel agents and packages.

For those who have gotten married or who will be getting married at the gazebo, did you decorate the gazebo for your ceremony? If so, how did you decorate?  With 85 days til our ceremony I am starting to get stuff together to decorate both the ceremony and the reception.  Thanks!!

Msvasq- thank you so much! Here's my email [email protected] so you can send me the TA's info.

Natalie, what location did you choose for the reception? I'm going with portofino

I went over everything with my TA, she contacted DPC and got a group rate. All I had to do was tell her how many rooms to block. She said to block more than I think I'll need. My family have already started paying on their rooms. The air fare is not out yet so that will be added as soon as its I pray it's not to expensive. No worries for me at all she is taking care of all travel arrangements.

My Wedding is also on Jan 30, 2013 @ 5:00pm!! Where are you having your reception "SKYY" and how is the planning going?

[LisaRN]

Hi! Just wondering if you are bringing your own decorations to decorate the gazebo with? If so, what are you using? I really don't want to pay $500 for the drapes when we will only be there for 15mins or so!

[msvasq]

same question as LisaRN --- not sure i want to dish out $500 for decorations especially b/c my ceremony is going to be so short. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of what previous brides have done in the past?

 

btw i confirmed my date yesterday June 21st 2013
