Thanks for the info, MissJali!   Are you going with Tropical Pictures?  I contacted them for price quotes, but they said they haven't adjusted their 2014 prices yet. I'd love to find out what packages they have for 2013 so I have some sort of an idea what they offer and for how much.

Jamie, I am trying really hard NOT to go with Tropical Pictures. I got engaged in Punta Cana in April and my awesome FI arranged a photo session with them and they did a really good job! But it seems that the photo packages are very limited, ie like 75 pictures and i want alllll of my pictures. I don't want to pick and choose my photos, so I'm praying my family photographer can make the trip out there.

MissJali, thanks so much for the info on Tropical Pictures. Holy moly!!! $2000 is INSANITY for what they're offering!!! In that case, we will probably fly someone from here!! The cost would be about the same... Have you decided whether you're going to get the regular DJ, or the full DJ with MC?

Does anyone know what they're doing after the wedding reception? My wedding is at 3pm so I feel like even with an extra hour, it's going to be over early, Lianny said something about the Disco? I tried looking it up online but I don't think I found anything good. Thanks for all the help!

The disco is just the big club right on site at the resort. It would def keep the party going if you were looking to keep dancing/drinking and it's right there. and from what i have seen they have VIP areas so you could maybe even secure one of those sites for your party. 

 

We have more of a drinking/talking group than a dancing one so I plan to get the extra hour and then head to Strikers sports bar as a group where we can keep drinking, watch sports and have conversation....plus a bonus is they have american style bar food like wings/pizza/nachos that I know everyone will be wanting after four hours of dancing and drinking. 

My wedding is at 4 though, so reception doesnt start until 6 cause i also reserved a cocktail hour in between. So it will already be 10 by the time we head over to the bar. 

 

If you wanted to go offsite...you could look into the cave I think it is called. It is another disco type place that isnt far from the resort and they have hired vans that take you over there....it is an old cave turned into a club and they do all you can drink (it would be expensive if you plan to pay for all your guests though)...this is what my husband to be will do for his bach party while we are there.
