Excellence Punta Cana Brides Thread

And I thought it'd be better to just put it here for future use. This is the menus for the restaurants and the menus for the cocktail hour/receptions. Note, this menu has changed twice just in the year I've been planning my wedding- so ALWAYS check with your coordinator/planner there at the resort before setting your heart on what you see here.

Also, because it may apply to any of you- they are more than willing to make vegetarian/non-dairy options (at least for the plated reception) if you need them for your guests or yourself. DH, MOH, MIL, and BFF are all lactose intolerant and they will have non dairy meals made for them.

For the BTB who asked me for the cost sheet, it's the document entitled 'list of exxtras (sic)'

Lastly, for the new brides, you have to reach a certain number of posts before you can view attachments, so if you click on it and get an error message, that's why.

Enjoy!

Thanks Nikki! So much helpful info and your day will be here before you know it! Congrats on finishing med school, it felt good when I finished law school too

If you don't mind me asking, what has anyone paid for decorations for the beach ceremony? and What was included. I just got a quote that for yellow chair ties, yellow flowers on the aisle and a yellow drape for the beach gazebo, it would be 500.00. I thought this was outrageous. Is anyone getting other quotes from the resort?

Khalia- thanks girl! I know it does feel good to finish- I can't wait to be done. Just two more weeks till this last rotation is done. I just sent in the app for my license.

mdb- I think most all of us are bringing 90% of the decorations. There are things that they will do as part of the different packages, but chair bows etc tend to be a charge. It's cheaper just to buy those and bring it with you. Depending on your package they will let you choose your aisle runner, decorate the altar etc. Flowers on the aisle I think is a charge either way. We're forgoing them and using freeze dried petals that we bought tossed on the aisle instead. HTH!

So review is up...enjoy!

Nikki- we flew American Airlines and they allow 2 bags each free so 4 bags total. The rest of the stuff we divided between my mom and 2 aunts. No one paid extra so it was great.

MDB- We got the silver package so the ceremony was pretty much set up for me. I did bring fushia bows for the chairs which I left with the WC if you want to use pink (there should be fifty of them. There were tiki torches, the aisle runner was a sand color which I liked because you didnt even know it was there and they lined the runner with large starfish/shells. The four posts were decorated with white drapes and flowers and there was a table with flowers and the sand ceremony. There are pics in my review but here is one.

Hey bulldog, you look so beautiful! Looks like everything turned out awesome and I can't wait!

On another note, it looks like the chairs are pretty low back and the sashes are pinned to the backs of the chair, as opposed to tied around them like many other resorts. Is this accurate? If so, did they provide pins for you?
