Does anyone know how good the DJ is at the paradisus Punta cana.
We are onlya party of 25 and I told the WC a DJ but after reading some posts. Maybe not.. Anyone wiith DJ feed back or what is needed to hook up the IPOD

I am having my wedding at Paradisus Palma Real. I am also considering using an IPOD but i am worried about sound quality and compatibility of equipment

We are using an iPod and backing everything up on CD.

Remember you have to bring the cables to hook up to the speakers though. They are not provided.

We are doing the iPod. My best friend has a fancy one that she is hooked on, so I gave her the honor of getting the playlist setup - I'm just suggesting a list of songs and she'll fill in the blank.

I just didn't want to add so much to my budget for a DJ that probably won't play stuff we want to hear anyway...

I really wanted to do ipod instead of dj- but the wc still last week quoted me 150.00 an hour for the setup

Negotiate with her ... and bring the print-out of the price list b/c the price list reads $150. It doesn't say $150 per hour.

This may be a silly question, but if you do the DJ, will he announce our first dance...and the dance with my father? B/C if he/she won't, then maybe I should go with the IPOD as well.

WE had a MC- We had a friend do all the annoucing- our dance, father daughter dance, speeches , etc...
The DJ doesn't intro anything at the paradisus punta cana- you could always ask the wedding people too

Thanks so much for the info...I'm thinking I should ask my MOH to do this. Thanks again!!

I used the PA system and it was fine for me - I brought CD's of my music and asked one of my guests to do the music and make the announcements (that I wrote exactly when and what to say for him to read) and it was fine.

The invoice and what I requested up front was for 1 hour which is 100.00 but they actually let me keep it from the ceremony until the restaurant at the end ( more like 5 hours). The PA system travels with you throughout the whole resort if you want to - its that small, but loud enough, I guess it depends on what type of crowd you have.
