Paradisus Palma Real...Really Worried!
starfish007 replied to Anna22's topic in Destination Weddings in Dominican Republic
Hey ladies! I am getting married at PPR on November 27, 2010. I have been dealing with Noelia but since we paid the deposit and signed the contract, I haven't had much contact with her. I basically harassed her for weeks prior to booking because I wanted to know exactly what was going on before I booked a date. My recommendation would be to sit down and write up a list of questions like Luciel suggested. I basically started my questions with arriving to the resort and broke it down in sections like room upgrades, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception etc. As I get closer to my date, I'm sure I'll have more to fill you all in on. If you get all the "red tape" cleared up before you book, you should feel at ease and be able to concentrate on the fun stuff! I am in the process of getting together my OOT bags which has been really fun. Anyone that gets new info, please share!! -
Paradisus Palma Real Punta Cana 13 March 2010

Congratulations!! It sounded beautiful! We are getting married there on November 27, 2010 so your review was really helpful. Did you pick a specific wedding package or did you do it a la carte? We were told that even if you pick a wedding package, you have to pay an extra fee per person for open bar but it sounds like you got around that one! How many guests did you have? Where was your cocktail hour and where was the reception? Any other info or pics would be great!! -

New Moon Palace in Punta Cana

Hi ladies! We recently decided to postpone our wedding date from November 2009 to August 2010 due to the economy. It is actually a relief because that gives me plenty of time to plan! Please share any news or updates from the resort that you know of. I am also trying to find anyone who has gotten married there to hear their review. While we were planning initially, I did receive a ton of information from the WC and have it saved in a file on my email (I HIGHLY recommend doing this so you have all your correspondence in one place). If anyone is interested, just private message me with your email address and I will send it to you. Look forward to hearing how the planning goes for everyone! -

Hi 123 Lana, Congratulations on your recent wedding! I am having so much difficulty with planning right now. I would love to hear all of the details on how everything turned out for you. Specifically: Which wedding package did you choose and was it worth the extra money for basically the ceremony setup (flowers/color scheme) Was there music playing as you walked down the aisle? Did you have a cocktail reception following the ceremony? If so, was it complimentary and what was your menu options/beverage options? What was the decor for the outside buffet reception? Menu/beverage options? Did you choose an included bouquet or upgrade? How long did the reception last? What did you do for music during the reception? What did you and your guests do following the reception? Sorry, I know there are a lot of questions but if you could help, I would really appreciate it!!! Thanks so much! -

Hi Jennifer, Congratulations!!! You may still be at the resort at the time I am writing this. I would love to hear how everything turned out on your big day! I am especially curious on the flowers and bbq buffet. If you could forward any information you received directly from the WC regarding the menus, flowers, etc. I'd love to see it. I am really torn with the food for the reception. I wanted to do a sit down dinner outside but they can only do a buffet outdoors. Just wanted to see how that turned out. I look forward to hearing back from you! -

jennifergk13, Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'm getting married at Moon Palace Punta Cana on November 21 and can't wait! I completely understand your feelings regarding the completion (or lack thereof) of the resort. We loved all the amenities the resort has to offer and how beautiful everything looked, which is why we chose the resort. Who is your WC? I was originally speaking with Diana but since our date has been confirmed, I have been corresponding with Michaelle. I would love to hear any details regarding your wedding. Right now we are just booked for the complimentary package until we decide which one we want. I am also waiting for a price sheet for the additional add-ons because we want to do something private for our 20 guests. Are you getting married on the beach? Are you receiving the complimentary cocktail reception? What are you planning on doing for the reception? This has been my hardest decision so far because I want to do something more than just a dinner in one of the restaurants with all of the other people staying at the resort. I would love to hear what you are planning. Good luck! -

According to the WC at MP Punta Cana, the different packages differ not only in color of decor but in flower types. The more expensive packages include some orchids whereas the less expensive packages have just a tropical mix of flowers. In addition, the more expensive packages include a soloist for the ceremony. I have officially reserved my date (yeah!) and for right now, we are going with the complimentary package until we decide. MP is supposed to be putting together a list of add-ons with prices, which is what I'm waiting for in order to decide. Keep me posted on your progress ladies!
