Are you talking about something for your whole group or a few people or just you and your hubby?

Just makes it easier to post the link but here is my review of Kukua and Bego. I would definitely recommend this place to relaxed and easy going brides to behttp://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g147293-d1747627-r201995162-Kukua_Beach_Club-Punta_Cana_La_Altagracia_Province_Dominican_Republic.html#readReview @@duchovny0901 quote name="duchovny0901" post="1847272" timestamp="1398785401"]Hi everyone! I'm getting married in 4 months and am just finding out about this restaurant! I'm in a panic because my resort only wants to serve my guests buffet-style when there are over 50 people! Now I'm panicking with a last minute dinner reception change! Bego has gotten back to me already about the basics and has confirmed that my date is available. Now I just have to figure out A MILLION other things! Hopefully you guys have already figured out some of these questions: Does anyone know how their transport works? Like do they pick up and drop off at the resort only at one specific time? Is the club air conditioned? No it's outdoor space. How long does the reception typically last? As long as you want it to! (If you rent the whole place out I'm sure they stay open later. We stayed until 1130 and didn't have exclusive use of the place. Has anyone hired any performers (saxaphonist, fire dancers, etc)? How were they? Decorations - does Bego provide all of them and charge separately for each item rented, or does she quote a package price for everything you want? Set up for 50 ppl max is 500 for deco on the beach and 500 for deco for the dinner. She provides everything! How does the breakdown of the open bar work? Is it like if dinner is from 7-8p then we'd pay $5/pp for "dinner drinks", then from 8-11p we have an international bar at $15/pp per hr? And if we wanted the open bar throughout dinner and the reception we'd just go 7-11p at $15/pp per hr? Exactly. The 8$/pp for the cocktail hour is what I know of... Sorry for bombarding but we have such a limited time!!! Thanks for your help ladies!

Yay how exciting! I can tell you that I had an amazing time and all of my guests loved the Bahia Principe Esmeralda Don Pablo Luxury Collection resort. It was incredible. I've heard many amazing things about hard rock but one of the comments a lot of people make about that resort is it is very Americanized (and very pricey). The Bahia Principe Resorts are affordable and incredible so take a look and see what you think! There is a lot to consider so like others said only you will pick the best one for your taste! My #1 tip is think about your wedding day and what you want it to look like. I hated the idea of a million people on the beach while the ceremony was happening or to be hurdled around as there were 3 other weddings that day.... Which is why I choose the Esmeralda. It's right beside a very good restaurant called Kukua that has wedding packages and much more privacy! Look it up for more info Goodluck and don't forget to gave fun!
