Ocean Blue and Sand Questions

Hello! My fiance and I (I'm probably the only male on this site, haha) are very close to booking our destination wedding at the Ocean Blue and Sand resort in the Dominican.  Jessi, (my fiance), is nervous about a few things and I was hoping you all could help us. 

 

First, we are concerned we won't like the wedding reception meal.  We're very boring eaters (steak and potatoes. haha) and everything listed in the packages sound way to exotic for us.  Is there any way we could get a steak and potato option for the bland eaters like ourselves??

Next, Jessi is worried about her flowers.  Being in a different country with limited communication with our wedding planner - she's afraid she'll just get a generic flower arrangement. 

Finally, her hair.  She doesn't know if the stylists at the resort will be good. Has anyone had a good/bad experience with this?

 

Also -- in general, what's everyone's wedding experience been like working with Yinette and the Ocean Blue and Sand wedding staff?  I look forward to hearing back from you all! 

 

Thanks!! -Chris

Hi Chris-

 

I got married there a few months ago and had a WONDERFUL experience at Ocean Blue & Sand. We actually had the steak & potatoes meal and it was phenomenal...several people told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. (We did a private reception at La Brasa.)

 

Ocean Blue has a package of optional flowers that should give your FI a better idea of what's available. In all seriousness, though, the setting is so beautiful that flowers are just a tiny part of it. (This coming from a florists's daughter!)

 

I didn't use the salon for hair services, but I've heard good things about them.

 

When communicating with Yinette or Ada, patience is the name of the game. They are the only 2 wedding coordinators and the resort usually has 2-3 weddings per day, so you'll frequently need to wait 24-48 hours to get a response...that's where these board come in handy! However, Yinette is great and everything came together beautifully.

 

Also, there is a pretty active board of Ocean Blue brides at http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/52713/ocean-blue-sand-punta-cana . I would totally recommend checking out the page to find out more about what people are doing, etc. Good luck!

      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!
