La Barcaza Wedding Reception?

[Danz]

We are paying $60 per person for the Chicken/Beef grill option. It also includes "National" open bar, which looks like pop, water, rum, and beer.

Thank you.

I'm taking my guets on a day cruise with La Barcaza and going snorkeling, its costs us 50 pp for snorkeling and open bar for three hours.

Hi ladies,

You will find all of the pricing listed on the website:http://weddingboatpuntacana.com/en/weddingsreceptions-menu-budgets-puntacana-5.htm

 

The boat holds 100 people.  You need a minimum of 20 people to reserve it for a private reception.

I was also told by Flori that we could bring other alcohol with us.  I will probably buy some bottles at duty free (vodka) and get some wine in DR.

 

I wouldn't bring candles, as they will blow out, but I am thinking of bringing some battery operated tealights and just placing the bouquets on the table.  I also found these foldable bouqet vases that I might order and then weight them down with some sand?  I cant seem to find the link for them right now, but they are basically a base you can pop the bouquets into.  i am also considering paper lanterns to string up along the edge of the boat. But not sure about that yet.

 

We are getting married at 3pm at Paradisus Punta cana, and then our cruise is at 5:30pm.   I plan to book the extra hour, but I am leaving that until the day since I want to ensure all of my guests are enjoying themselves!

Hi ladies,

 

We are considering using La Barcaza for a day trip excursion the day before our wedding.  Can anyone who has used them tell me about what the 3 hour tour includes.  I keep reading about the "Natural pool" - are the guests supposed to get out and swim around, so we should advise people to wear their bathing suits and bring towels?  Or is it more just everyone enjoying a boat tour and eating & boozing??

 

Thanks!

Hi Sunny, I am doing the same thing as you but we had snorkeling on for 10pp extra which give you a little bit more time on the boat. But yet what I have heard is that you swim in the natural pool...when I've done things like this before people always bring a bathing suit

 

Hope that helps!

Just wondering if anyone has got married through La Barcaza on the beach. Flori e-mailed me and told me that the service is now performed on a beach in a national park and chairs are not allowed. I was wondering if anyone went with this option and if they have any photos of the set-up.

How did you guys pay for the deposit and balance?  I have Bank of America and they charge a $45 wire fee to transfer money to an international bank.  Did you guys do this?

Thanks!

[britb618]

Yes unfortunately it did cost that much.

 

[Lasallebabe]

Yes, I also paid a fee for the wire transfer.
