Hi Ladies,

 

I am recently engaged and looking at Dreams Punta Cana for our wedding.  I have a few questions for those brides out there who have had their wedding there!

 

1)  What was the process for reserving your ceremony and reception locations?  I am hearing they dont confirm your location until you arrive at the resort. This makes me nervous

 

2)  Has anyone had a band?  My fiance is set on a band and NO DJ! 

 

3) I may be paranoid but should i be worried about the Cholera outbreak in haiti? 

 

4) I am having over 50 guests, can this resort handle this capacity without major chaos?

 

Thanks for your help!!!

I just got married at Dreams Punta Cana about 3 weeks ago....it was perfect.  Here is what I can tell you about your questions.

 

I had 43 people attend our wedding, so we are somewhat close in numbers.

 

Reception location - I booked this with my WC (wedding coordinator) months before our wedding to ensure we has enough space for dinner and reception/dancing etc.  I would recommend the Himitsu terrace.  I loved it, it was spacious and I found it private enough for us.  The terrace has a nice breeze and washrooms are close by.  I would not have wanted anything smaller for our group.

 

Band - I did not do this as I would not know what kind of band.  The only band I am aware of, is the Caribean Trio - and I was only considering using them for the Dinner/Cocktail hour - but changed my mind and went with something on an IPOD for our music and it was perfect and more cost efficient.  I made my own playlist on my IPod for the first dance songs as well as the receptions songs and made sure I had over 3.5 hours worth.  I wanted music that people would know and would get up and dance to.

 

Cholera - I don't think you should be too worried, at each restaurant that you go into at DPC, including the buffet - there is staff that is squirting your hand with sanitizer.  There is also a product - Dukoral - that you may want to look into.  It helps with the issues that can arise with travelling into other countries.  I have used it before with no problems and it says that it helps with Cholera as well.  I have also heard that the Dominican is taking efforts to ensure that Cholera is not an issue.  Also, Punta Cana is a significant distance from Haiti.

 

Group Size - I had 43 people and they may it look very easy.  I loved the resort, and my guests loved the resort and I did not receive any complaints.  The food was decent and in some cases excellent, the resort is beautiful, and clean.  The drinks are great and service is fantastic as well.  I loved every minute.

 

You should check out the forum called Dreams Punta Cana brides you will find tons of info there for you.

 

I would keep in contact with your wedding coordinator and ask her about the reception locations and tell her about the things that you would like, she will be able to help you.  My experience with my WC is fantastic, she replied fairly quickly and did an awesome job for our wedding, I would not have changed a thing.

 

Happy Planning

Carol

I have booked my wedding at DPC for ~50 guests.  Himitsu terrace is the location for large groups.  These forums do help in visualizing how the various location sites look like.  I don't believe you have to be at the site, but im sure it wouldn't hurt.  I booked a trip to go the DPC beginning of april to arrive end of may for a low cost (about 850 with flight pp).  It helped us meet with the WC who showed us around the property.  Now if you are not able to arrive there, you can certainly search this forum.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
