Hi Vancouver bride, My wedding is 10 days before yours!! We fly back home on the day of your wedding! Can't believe how soon it is all coming around, so exciting!! Although I feel I still am a bit in limbo with a few things. We have booked garden gazebo but still need to sort out options for cocktail and evening reception. Gemma x

Hi all, I'm due to fly out to La Romana in 7 weeks for my wedding Just had a few questions I wondered if anyone could give some advice 1. What are the location options for the reception I know there is seaside deck (which I believe you have to pay for) and like beach or pool. Is there anywhere else?? 2. Do they do a buffet/BBQ option and if so does anyone know how much pp? 3. Has anyone used the resort for hair and makeup? 4. Do I need to send translated documents out with me prior to arrival or do I just take them with me? I think this is all for know if anyone can help that would be great. Its getting so close and I feel like I have little information to what I should be doing. I'm getting nervous I will not do something! Thanks in advance Gemma x

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me!! I'm due to get married at Dreams in just over 4 months and just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction of where I go with sorting out all the legal side of the wedding. I have spoken with a company that do an all in package but this was alot more than I was expecting to pay so was looking a doing all the legals myself but don't really know where to start with this. Any help from previous brides that has done this themselves would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance Gemma

Hi Amurka, Thanks for the info. I may look into doing that also as it is such alot of money to spend. There's so many things I need to find out don't really know where to start lol. This forum has been a really good starting point though. I'm really grateful of all the info and help :-) We are from Hertfordshire. Thanks again

Hi Ladies, Can any brides from the UK recommended anyone that does all the legal stuff and like the translations bits and bobs? Had a quote from the company that Thomas Cook recommended and was £1200 which I thought was really expensive is this about the right price or is this way over the top? Thanks x

Can anyone recommend a professional hairstylist and make-up artist other than the resort one. I have found some that will travel to the Dominican but think this will prove quite expensive after accommodation and travelling costs so one based in DR would be better. Thanks

Lovely pictures I love the idea of coloured shoes looks amazing x

Hi Miss Sunshyne, I'm getting married next October in Domincan Republic and as hair and make-up are very important to me I would be willing to pay the extra to have a professional makeup artist and hair stylist as i'm concerned about the stylist within the resort. I have contact the artists you have spoke about but if you could give me anymore information that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
