  1. I think the Aqua package with the upgrades will still end up being cheaper than the Tailor Made. The Entice Me rate starts at 4K and with the welcome dinner at $35.00 a head, including many upgrades, still ends up only being about 10k. Has anyone discussed the centerpiece options/decor and pricing with the on-site WC? One thing I feel this resort lacks is a "Whole Package" approach. How many differrent lists, calculators, packages, prices are out there? Does anyone have the budget calculator to share?
  2. LL117- Can you also email me any photos and pricing you have for reception sites? swatts000@gmail.com If anyone else has photos or add on costs please share! I've had a hard time getting complete answers from the Miami office and it's been 20+ emails for all of the details but still unsure as to what hte reception options look like. sarah
  3. If you go to the website you can email a request to the WC department and someone will contact you. I haven't had the best luck getting all the details from them. After 10 or so emails I finally was given attachments breaking down every cost that could be associated with the wedding day. This was only after I gave the 20+ questions pertaining to every detail. I still have no idea about the wedding cake and set-up etc. Maybe I ask to many questions!!! The venues they offer are not specified online and when I asked where the reception is being held at La Perla they said poolside pavilion. There are no images (that I know of) online to show this location. Decor, flowers, table settings (upgraded) are all at an additonal cost. I ended up contacting Wright Travel agency (this sites TA) and they were very helpful and quoted cheaper rooms that the resort. I ended up going back to the Punta Cana resort after being told the Tailor Made package still only offers the poolside pavilion for the recpetion.
  4. EmilyT- I can understand your friend issue....I've had my own. I suggest being the bigger person and recognize she is acting out becuase she feels like she is losing a friend. I would show maturity and send her and invite with a little personal note saying you hope she changes her mind and decides to join you for your big day. Even though it's time to celebrate you and your fiance, if you really want her there, invite her and handle her responses with grace and let her know she will be missed but you understand if she can't make it. I wouldn't discuss anything with her after you mail her invite unless she brings it up. In the end she will probably join and if not, move on from the friendship or forgive her for not being there.

LOL its a joke really.. i also thought id share that originally my date as 2.22.13. it ended up being presidents week and the prices were out of control- everything was almost doubled. i didn't know this originally because presidents day is the monday before so i thought we were safe. Long story short for the good of my guests i went through the trouble ( it was not easy ) of changing the date & notifying everyone etc and some peopel are actually using the date change as the excuse now of why they can't come. "Oh we were coming during Presidents week but now that you moved it we can't"- umm hello we changed the date because the price was doubled, and if we kept it that date the same people would have said "Oh sorry I cant its too expensive" LOL so point of the story-- people who always truly wanted to come are coming no matter what, and the others will find any old excuse. for a best friend to know 6 months in advance she cant come up with $1300 is a joke, and she could have asked me for a loan and offered to pay me back if she really wanted to come. where theres a will, theres a way! my question though since im so annoyed about this is that now that i know already she doesnt plan to come, can i get her back by not sending her an invitation !?!? opinions please
  5. Can anyone share the $ amount they were budgeting for their guests to spend? I was thinking airfare/hotel for 4-5nights was going to be 1500.00. In my opinion this is affordable. Thoughts?
  6. Hi Rola, Do you think it was still worth doing the Tailor Made package over the Aqua with all of the additonal costs? Would you happen to have a breakdown of the additonal options and costs for upgraded decor etc?
  7. Hi Rola, Can you recommend a TA in the PA/NJ area? I'm looking to book my wedding and need someone to go through from the Philly area. Thanks. s
  8. Hi, Your info on the resort is very helpful. If you don't mind, may I ask how many guests you had and if you had to pay anything outside the Tailor Made price?
