Yes, the location was in the colonial plaza and the dance floor was the walkway overlooking the pool. I added a photo's of the site at www.paradisuspalmarealpuntacana.shutterfly.com
Here is my break down of my total cost $9600.00
62 guests- $50pp and we had to pay $12.00pp for guest that didn’t stay at that resort. Guests that are not staying do get a bracelet for the night of the event.
includes
Christian pastor
1 violinist
no cocktail- everyone went to the lobby bar for an hour after the ceremony and it gave us time to take photo's and not miss the party. Gave us a chance to add an additional hour to the reception making it 4 hours.
cigar roller
bridge decorations of flowers
all flowers
food menu option 1-my guests are STILL raving about the food lobster, soup etc amazing!
4 hour bar
White wood chairs w/ the cushion. The chairs are brand new and included as the basic. (we had them for the ceremony and the reception)
Excluding:
DJ- we flew our dj from Miami
Photographer- we flew him from Montreal; he was $800 for the Entire day and I a few hours the the day before or after for more photo's. We split the travel fee's with another couple and it came out to total $1300.00
linen's- We brought our rentals from FL $350
Makeup- OUCH - CAUTIOUS!! Thank god I went to Neiman Marcus and had a makeup artist do my make up(a VP makeup artist that goes to all the different stores training all the neiman Marcus for Bobby Brown) I spent about $450 with brushes, foundation and great make up that I love to this day. They give you a chart that explains the steps of how to put your wedding day make up on. I hired the salon at the resort to put my make up on but ended up stopping her before she really made a mess. (once she tried to put my eye shadow on with her finger) I went back to the bridal suite and did my own- It came out absolutely perfect thanks to Bobby brown.
our room rate: resort: OMG- saveonresorts.com
90 min layed back tour. double occ. $950 total for 6 nights
Rehersal dinner: Thejellyfish on the beach, walking distance from the resort but so much fun to have them bus everyone over. here's the website
Jellyfish Restaurant | Bavaro, Punta Cana | Restaurant, Bar, Lounge, Weddings, Events
$1300 total cocktails and appitizers (brought our dj)
Hope this helps, I will let you know if I think of anything else.
