  1. Sorry I never saw this sooner, --I am rmfowler09, but for some reason awhile ago I couldn't log onto that account anymore?? So I do have a new one! ....but we did just have our wedding on October 23rd!! So I can give you some insight and if you have any other questions let me know !! Yanna & Pirosca were wonderful to work with! We went with the garden gazebo for ceremony, pier for the cocktail hour and sea side grill deck for the reception. We booked when the deck was still $300 but Yanna did say it is now $1000. The beach reception site (free) is a very nice choice and not many people are down by the beach at night so still very private! The two gazebos are both very private, however in regards to the pier, many people do swim and snorkel near it and that might be distracting during the ceremony. We didn't have this issue during the cocktail hour however I watched other weddings during our vacation that were on the pier and people were swimming around them/making noise etc.. We had chosen the Ultimate package. In the package it says your hair and make up are included, but what it doesn't say is that a trial of both are included as well...this was a nice suprise for me!! You also get two choices for dinner options for guests and they print out a nice menu for each guest. We had Adventure photography during the ceremony and hired HDC for 4 hours as well. Adventure photography did a great job however they are much more expensive! HDC was wonderful and so glad we chose them for our pictures! We loved how they turned out! The videographer included in the package was great too!! They actually had 2 videographers and one showed up to my room 30 minutes before the ceremony to film getting ready etc, the ceremony and after with pictures, cocktail hour etc. They did a wonderful job editing the video (35-40minutes) and is great to show family members that couldn't make it. We had a group of 25 of us. We did choose to have a dj and so happy we did. We originally wanted the "extra" dj service with more lights, MC etc for $950. Yanna had us go with basic dj service with one speaker/no mc etc and said she would mc. well we saved a lot of money and they had all the lights, extra speakers MC and all! The whole group danced all night and it was a blast! The food at dinner was great! We chose for the entrees the beef tenderloin with shrimp or the salmon. Everyone said they really liked the food. In addition the food at all of the restaurants was wonderful as well. Good drinks too! If anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask! This website helped me so much when planning our wedding I am so glad we chose to have a destination wedding and Dreams La Romana was amazing!!
  2. Hi Ladies, I just got married at Dreams La Romana on October 23rd, so everything is still pretty fresh! We chose the site the year before during a trip to punta cana , we stayed at Now Larimar, but took a day visit to La Romana! It was the best decision having our wedding there. Yanna & Pirosca were wonderful to work with! We went with the garden gazebo for ceremony, pier for the cocktail hour and sea side grill deck for the reception. We booked when the deck was still $300 but Yanna did say it is now $1000. The beach reception site (free) is a very nice choice and not many people are down by the beach at night so still very private!

In addition the food at all of the restaurants was wonderful as well. Good drinks too! In regards to preferred club: we didn't upgrade. We had planned to after the wedding but never got around to it and enjoyed spending time with our guests/visiting. There are two preferred club areas-family side and adults side. You can pay around $60 extra a day to stay in your regular room and just get the services which are 2 extra lounges, 2 more pools and a different breakfast and lunch restaurant. We viewed a preferred club room-it is newer, but basically the same. No larger at all and same basic set up. But if you did want some privacy from guests it would be a nice option to upgrade so you can "get away." If anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask!
