Anyone getting married in Bavaro Princess, Punta Cana?

I have the pricing packages for photoshopcaribe but its on my computer at home... I'll post them on here tomorrow sometime for you.

Do you have the price for individual ones? Or smaller packages?

I have the one with the wedding packages. I believe they are $1300 US?

The same cost as my whole wedding at the resort.

Francelia said that you can buy pictures or the disc and not have to get the whole package. I hope this is right.

About 6 months ago photocaribe stopped replying to me as soon as I said I wasn't going to get the full wedding package.

I can fly my own photographer and let them stay a week for that price.

I wish I could afford it. I wanted to use a photographer from down in the DR who was half the price. I can't bring him on the resort............

Ya, it looks like those are the best packages :-/ Sorry. I thought i remembered the disc being on there but it's an add on not just a package. Maybe francelia can just add on to your wedding package to have them for more than 15 photos and just buy the disk... that's what I would really like to do too, I don't need all that extra stuff at all.

OMY! Thanks for the review!!!! It's FULL of helpful information!

I'm getting married at the Caribe Club Princess...but the ceremony will take place at the gazebo @ the Bavaro Princess, and yes--Francelia is my WC as well.

I actually stayed at the Bavaro Princess in Nov 2009----we were suddenly switched to this resort after the Caribe closed suddenly for emergency maintenance. This was supposed to be a 4 (apple) resort, and I was EVERYTHING but impressed. I'll let you read my review on trip advisor for yourself....there was ALOT of construction going on, which may have been the reason for my discomfort (mice & roaches). I eventually had to completely relocate to the Ocean Blue for the remainder of my stay.

I too orginally was going to purchase the princess package---but my guest list has outgrown that package! LOL

I'm just going to buy the disc if its not too much.

The boat reception is 3 hours. We are doing dinner.

You can pick an option that is 2 hours/cocktail hour as well.

The lady I talk to is Flori. She is really nice and helpful.

If you want I can send you the info if you are intersted. I emailed her today asking what happens if it rains.

I have seen a few girls on here that have gone on the boat and loved it!

I know someone who just went to the resort and loved it. They said it was updated in alot of areas. Maybe that was why all the construction was going on?

I hope so anyways! haha

Has anyone used or going to use the carribian trio?

I didn't have my hair done at the salon. I was lucky enough to have a friend who did all the hair and make up for the bridal party. If you were going to use the salon, i would just be sure to bring a clear printed picture of what you want.

The flowers that were provided by the resort were not really what I expected. But then again i wasn't planning on using them anyways! The princess package includes a bouquet for the bride and a boutinier for the groom. I asked for a simple bouquet with gerber daisies. It had gerbers, but was not simple. As well it costs $50 us per additional bouquet. So it would have been $150US for all my bridesmaids. I actually went to michael's craft store and made all four bouquets for around $100 and they were gorgeous! Everyone made comments about them and it was pretty simple. The only issue I had with this was packing. I bought a box and some packing peanuts, when i got to the airport they were worried because it was too LIGHT. So if you can carry it on it would be better. All my bridesmaids were flying from difference airports or I would have asked them to carry their own on.

I wasn't offered a colour choice for the chair covers but I am sure if you asked about it they could provide you with a few options. She told us ours would be white, and that was fine with us. So ask ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
