AMEN SISTER!

Hi ladies! I'm back with the answer after chatting about this with Mayte Here we go! The option of offering your wedding guests full Jellyfish menus is only available for small weddings, 20 people or less. I put myself through university serving tables - and can tell you first hand, if the kitchen at any restaurant receives more than about 20 different orders simultaneously, mistakes are bound to happen!! It's much better to have a customized menu, so that Mayte knows just how many fresh lobster tails to bring in specifically for your wedding… or request fresh organic arugula from a nearby farm. Another reason - it's really great when everyone gets a starter, followed by a main course, complete with sides that compliment the entire meal. Mayte is so great at helping you create a varied unique menu that will reflect your personalities, culture, etc. that will undoubtedly impress your guests! Mayte also mentioned that since the regular menu doesn't include 'side' dishes like the wedding menus do, and this always creates confusion with final prices. Having been a Jellyfish bride … and having been a part of so many amazing (and different) weddings there, I say - trust Mayte's process! ))) Hope this helps you ladies a bit. I'm here for you if there's anything else! Sending sunshine from Punta Cana! xoxo

Thank you, love! Sending you a PM with the details

I'll ask Mayte next time I see her, if there's no online version, we can probably just scan it. They really should have the menu on the website, shouldn't they! That's in the works for their new website... who knows how long that's going to take though. I've seen a few weddings where the guests ordered off the regular menu - this is usually okay for a smaller wedding, so that the kitchen isn't swamped and everything comes out on time. Once you do a tasting at Jellyfish, you might change your mind - I think there's something really cool about a personalized, customized menu from the B&G - it really doesn't have to be what Mayte outlined in the packages. Either way is great because the food is AMAZING! xx

High five, Dee! Sending you a virtual hug from sunny Punta Cana It's the little choices we make that indeed make a huge difference! xoxo Katya

CONGRATULATIONS on locking down your date, lady! The hard part is over Hope these pictures help you, here are a few of our latest weddings that we've done at Now Larimar... http://www.katyanovablog.com/now-larimar-punta-cana-wedding-taylor-scott/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/secrets-royal-beach-wedding-photographer-laura-jeff/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/tamara-jeff-now-larimar-wedding-punta-cana/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/samantha-travis-now-larimar-engagement-punta-cana-dr/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/now-larimar-punta-cana-wedding-jen-jack/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/now-larimar-punta-cana-wedding-lindsay-marko/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/now-larimar-punta-cana-jellyfish-wedding-megan-tey/ Let me know if you have any questions about the place! xoxo Katya

Of course love! Sorry for the delay HURACAN CAFE contact is Amore (amoreweddingspuntacana@gmail.com). I'm putting together a separate post so that I can start a new thread for them, but for now - that's all you need! Without this super talented wedding planner, they are just a restaurant. It's a fabulous alternative, although let's now discuss it on this thread too much, hehe! If you have any specific questions, shoot me an email! katya@katyanova.com xoxo

You got it, lady!! I'm the luckiest and happiest girl in the universe. I guess that's the magic in the images we produce, hehe! xoxo

He's THE BEST. Behind those 10-15 minutes are hours and YEARS of polishing, love & heart. Worth every penny. Promise!!! No one comes even close to him.

Hmm... you might want to reach out to brides who got video coverage of their full ceremonies done by him... Post something here or the Jellyfish facebook page. Any finished videos you find online definitely won't have full ceremonies, just snippets, if that. Sorry that's not more helpful, love! We've only done stills (photos) of ceremonies with him so far. xx
