Question Dreams Punta Cana Brides

Hi...I'm looking at Dreams as a possible place for my wedding (hopefully my date is still available)...I visited the website and reviewed their wedding packages and extras. I didn't see anything about open bar for a private reception. For all you ladies who have been contacted by a WC at this resort or who have been married there already, how does the private reception work in terms of alcohol?? TIA :)

I'm not 100% sure because we are just starting to plan, but Dreams is all-inclusive, so I would think that the bar is included with that?? I do have the menus and some extra info the the WC sent if you need that!! Just let me know!

I am having my wedding at Dreams PC. If you purchase a private reception (cocktail or full dinner) the open bar is included.

Thx Ticia for the info. I was looking at the Melia as a possibility but if I wanted a private reception they would charge me extra for the open bar...it really added up!!

When you get a private reception, they set up a bar (not a actually bar but they get a table with a white table cloth and stock it up with premium domestic and international drinks) as told to me by the WC. They do not charge extra for this, it is included.

I'm not getting married at Dreams, but I would think there would be different package options.

Included in our beach reception is a buffett and open bar (3 hours) for $2500.

We are also doing a private bar 1/2 before and 1/2 hour after the ceremony right next to the gazebo. That is priced per person/per hour.

Hi Tami, the Paradisus is part of the Sol Melia hotel line right?
