Absolutely beautiful! Is this a public site or do you have to book?

Thansk Shayla! Wow, a group of 40! That sounds like a lot of fun. We're hoping we can get at least 20 LOL! The renewal package sounds good for us especially if we can make it look as "real" as possible. Awwh MyTye I would def pick where your nana would be...I'm sure that would be so special for her. We're planning to do a quick city hall wedding ourselves. Not sure who we would invite yet. I would invite everyone if it were me but my fiance doesn't like a lot of hupla (hence the destianation wedding) so we'll see. Claire, we're getting married July 1, 2013 - CANADA DAY! LOL. What is the saltwater pool? Tequila - I like your style! Hopefully it won't be as cold in July. I'm getting so excited already!! I was apprehensive about everything but after getting my dress, everything else seems like details... ;-) How are you ladies doing with the rest of your planning?

We were planning to use real sand from the beach. Are you not allowed to do this?

Hi Shayla, Congratulations! We're getting married at Grand Palladium Palace this July. This thread has been great so far. Did you book a private reception? Were you able to do speeches etc.? Did you have a complete wedding? We were thinking of just getting married here in Toronto then just have a ceremony there. Does anyone know how this works? Does it have to be a vow renewal or can we do a faux civil ceremony? Has anyone done the beach reception? I'm thinking of semi-prviate indoor reception then have a beach party. A lot of people were happy with DJ Mannia but with the added cost of having an outside dj, I don't know if it's worth it. We're already planning an outside photographer which I think is more important to splurge on. Sorry for the barage of questions!

I just youtubed punta cana weddings and saw a video with Priscilla Ahn "Dream" in the background. Beautiful song! Not sure when to use it yet but I love it.

Have you seen this link before? It describes all types of packages: http://www.palladiumweddings.com/en/wedding/packages/punta-cana-dominican-republic/2013/ Hope it helps!

Awesome info! That's great help for me too. I'm getting married July 1st this year. I am working with a destination planner. She requires $500 fee and 20 guests minimum. In case anyone is interested the company is called L'escape Destination Weddings. http://lescape.com/ I highly recommend using one as they are a one stop shop for all your destination wedding needs - from picking the resort to planning your wedding day. I was dealing with Jasprit and she's great!

Hello, My colour scheme was purple and I was totally thinking of giving out parasols especially to the mothers and also other female guests. Could you let me know where I can get these beautiful parasols? Thank you!
