I am having drama with all of my family too! They were so excited to have a dw like you said and now everyone is throwing it against me that I am "FORCING" them to pay all this money to go there. Which is not the case at all. Anyways, Does anyone know if you have to pay for your cocktail list for your 1 hour cocktail party? We are getting married in March and everything is paid for and I feel like daily I get an email saying that there is more random things I have to pay for that are coming out of nowhere.

Hello Ladies,
I am truly sorry that you are going through tough times. But remember this is your day. No one has the right to ruin it for you as some of you mentioned before. My problem is inviting more people just because my family wants me to. Why should i do this when we are actually trying to cut down.
It's nice to have brides to share this with since we are all going through the stress around the same time.
I will be traveling to PPR tomorrow so I hope that it meets my expectations. My fiance and I have been waiting for this moment for months. This will determine weather or not we will continue with the wedding plans at PPR. I'm so nervous!!! I have so many questions i am going nuts...lol...
Question:
For those brides that have traveled before...how safe are the taxi's at punta cana? I understand that PPR does not provide airport shuttles so we have to figure out how to get there...
Thanks a bunch
Can't wait to marry my best friend and love of my life...

Ok, ladies I'm having another panic attack, please bear with me.
I have recently paid the deposit for reserving the date of October, 26, 2013 for our wedding day. After doing average weather comparisons for that time of year I began to think I just planned the worst vacation for our guest.
So, ANYONE who can shed some light on the weather at the end of October PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know what to expect.
When doing my research it indicated that the average weather was 50% overcast and between 79-88 degrees and rains 49% of the time. I hope we able to enjoy the weather, pools, beach and golf and hope that I didn't just pick the worst time of the year to go:(

Asia, thank you, thank you, thank you! Your review and expertise was beyond helpful and reassuring!Hi Katie83, My partner and me have great experience working at both hotels, PPC or PPR, and we have a few friends that are travel agent representatives directly person to person at the hotels so what exactly makes you feel nervous about your decision? maybe we can give you some opinion that could help you. Best Regards Asia Pimentel

Thanks for the review Ana- did you not go to the other restaurants because they were closed? Ugh rain- I hope that doesn't happen to us that's certainly every brides nightmare. How was the crowd? Did the resort seem full? I guess its hard to measure when its off season.
What were your complaints about the room service? Did you take any pictures you are willing to share?
My biggest regret is the date we selected. Initially when we looked flights for fourth of July weekend weren't high and our travel agent said it wasn't a major holiday because it wasn't long enough. Now the flights are astronomical. I'm afraid some people will not be able to join us. I've already had my father and my sister tell me they most likely won't make it.
The group air was the best decision- we locked in $500 round trip per person with taxes included- but they wouldn't give us more than 15 seats and people have to agree to depart and return on the same exact flight. We had people who initially thought to stay just for 3-5 days switch to 7 just to get on the group air because the price was so good. Now we are referring our friends and family to travelocity, cheapcaribbean, cheapoair and other booking sites to try and find packages that are cost effective.
Bottom line- a wedding around ANY holiday is a terrible idea. We did it for that weekend because we figured people wouldn't have to take time off because they already had the fourth of july weekend off but in retrospect- people will take the time off regardless- go for the cheaper times to fly. That is what we should have done
