Jellyfish Restaurant


Recommended Posts

Ladies I'm pretty sure there are no updated lists.  Some of the prices have changed, but mostly it seemed just by a dollar or 2.  The best thing to do is use the list you have to estimate, send her your choices and she will give you the actual quote.  You can always make adjustments to your choices once you know the cost.

I have a few questions - I was hoping you all could help me out with! :)

 

  • How did you pay for the wedding (bring cash on site; wire it down)? 
  • I won't be able to visit JF before my wedding - so those of you have who have gotten married there.... were you able to see a preview of the table decor? Like most of you, I know exactly what I want.. and I want to make sure Mayte captures it. Did you give her items that you're bringing for the wedding during that visit?
  • Did you have a rehearsal dinner? If not- did it go smoothly the day of the wedding?
  • How many people can fit on the bus? Did you have any concerns about your guests getting on the bus on time? That's my only concern.

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

 

I would appreciate your thoughts very much!

1- we wired a 10% deposit. We paid most of the rest in cash (US dollars), and some on credit cards. You can put food and drinks bill on credit, cash for decor, DJ, flowers, cake, etc. She will specify these items in your quote. 2- we arranged a meeting with Mayte at the jellyfish for after we arrived in Punta Cana a couple days before the wedding to go over final details, taste the food and choose cocktails. Are you only arriving down there the day before the wedding? If you have a day or 2 before, try to arrange to meet with her. If you're not getting there til the day before, youll have to do it all by email. Send her pictures and she will do her best to match what you want. My cake was EXACT to the photo, menu cards matched my invitation... She really does a good job trying to give you what you ask for. Send detailed photos in your emails! 3- we stayed at dreams palm beach. It was nearly impossible to get a restaurant accomodation for 18 people so we arranged with the person in charge of the buffet for a table for us all. We had our own waiter for drinks service and people could eat at will. It really worked out well for the dinner that way. Everyone was happy. After dinner we took the wedding party down to a quiet spot on the beach and did our own rehearsal. Our officiant was also a guest so I basically led the rehearsal and just made sure everyone knew what they needed to do. It was fine and everything went smoothly. 4- the bus comfortably fit approx 25, although they said it can hold i think 30, and she sent a separate van for me and the girls in the wedding party which holds 7. We told everyone to meet in the lobby ready to go at 4. The bus was scheduled for 4:15. Everyone was on time. If you know there are people who are habitually late, tell them to meet in the lobby for a drink a half hour before the bus is due and it should be fine. Hope this helps! Anyone have any other questions? Ask away or send me a private message if you want ;-) Happy planning!

Hi all!  I wanted to check in and let you all know that our wedding at the Jellyfish last Friday turned out AMAZING!  I know every bride that comes back says you have nothing to worry about with the Jellyfish and Mayte but it's absolutely true!  And I'm sure some of you remember the few freak outs I had ;)

 

Everything looked beautiful..even after the few catastrophes, Mayte (and I) held it all together.  I'm working on a detailed review and will post soon... I promise!  There are a lot of pics up on Facebook now from my photographer, but she will be adding more too...  If you would like to add me as a friend just message me or find me on the jfish brides group.
