I am doin the symbolic ceremony at the Melia on November 16, 2013 but doing my reception at the Jellyfish restaurant....I am having an issue within the photography. The Melia apparently has a contract with Arrecife Studio but I found a better deal with another company BUT Melia charges you a fee of $1000 to use another company!!! That is just ridiculous...has any one else had any issues or suggestions...

I am getting married at the Melia on November 16, 2013 but just doing the symbolic ceremony there and the reception at the Jellyfish Restaurant. I am having difficulty w the photographer situation. Apparently melia has a contract w Arrecife studio but I found a better deal w an outside company...yet Melia would charge me $1000 to use someone other than Arrecife!!! That is just ridiculous....anyone having any issues w the same thing or any other suggestions :/...??

We paid the $1,000 copyright fee but maybe if you use their provider and your outside vendor they might waive the fee it doesn't hurt to ask...

[ggarces717]

That fee is crazy...I did contact the WC and was told my other option was to book a three nights stay for the photographer...I feel like its a scam

Unfortunately this is a common practice in the Dominican Republic, even well know American Brand Hotels (i.e. Hard Rock) charge a copyright fee for an outside photogrpher.  It is upseting I guess if you don't want to pay the fee you can have your whole wedding at Jellyfish, but there is not a dressing room there. Money grabbing practice, maybe you can tell her that due to the fee your are considering moving your ceremony to the Jellyfish unless the fee can be discounted.  That might help them change their mind..... Good Luck!
