Hey! I was also told that you have to be there 3 "working/business" days in advance, however the wedding coordinator said this isnt true (I am having a civil ceremony). So, dont sweat it! Im supposed to be getting married in 2 weeks, so if Im wrong Ill let you know...haha...

Hey P&B2010, Just wondering if you had your meal at the wet bar? We're still undecided as to where we want our meal. What were your meal options? Pictures are beautiful!!!

The extra liquor package is totally unecessary - we just went with the standard package, and none of our guests missed the mixed drinks. The regular package includes beer, wine, and champagne. As for the decorations, we went with one of the Majestic Decoration packages (I think they have 3 packages and we went with package 2) and I would highly recommend that. I know it may seem costly, but it is totally worth it. Their decorations actually exceeded my expectations - the tables were beautiful. The package included the chair sashes, which were also on the chairs for the ceremony. There were also table runners, and it included the centerpieces. They put little stones on the tables, and had menus. I have a picture that I will attempt to post - not sure how that will turn out!

What about booking labarcaza for your boat, we are doing that, it looks really nice!! Pretty good reviews on here as well! Wedding Punta Cana. The best Wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Just throwing an idea out there for you! HUGH relief, isnt even the word!!! So happy! I was looking at the labarcaza but we'll have a 6 month old and I just it'll be easier to be at the resort (fairly close to the rooms) in case we need something or baby gets fussy. I think we may go to the Steakhouse and then rent a bar for a couple of hours after. Im still undecided on getting the DJ people have been talking about on here. Does anybody know what kind of music he plays?? Or if we should just use an Ipod? Anyhow, it'll all work out Im sure!! Thanks =)

Why does she take sooo long!!! I have emailed her previously on other matters and that took a long time for her to reply! I know they are busy, but its really hard to book anything else until I have our ceremony time! We want to book our photographer and LaBarcaza for our reception, and I can't secure those until I hear back from her!! Argghhh!! I just had to vent!!! Sorry guys!!! Jenn&Kraig, Ive also emailed Sandra a week ago and no reply - however, the last few times shes been pretty good getting back to me within a few days! We're having problems with our wedding dates/times also so I understand your frustration! Hang tight, hopefully she'll reply soon!! We're trying go get a civil ceremony for May, but the judge isnt available when we need him - aparently we have to be in Dominican 48 hours (2 business days) before we can get married and our flights go down on Saturdays/Sundays - therefore we need a Wednesday or later that week for our wedding! Anybody else having a civil wedding and having any problems with the judge? Thanks, Jennifer Jennifer

Hey Brendali.caban We're trying to book for May 18th, 2011. Just received an e mail from Sandra, and we have to choose what type of ceremony we want and hope that we still get that date! Happy Planning =)

Hey Everybody, Just wondering if anybody can help me with my dinner/reception plans! I finally received an e mail back from Sandra and there are soooo many options to choose from! I didnt see anything on there about the Steakhouse? I didnt think you had to pay for your meal per person at the Steakhouse? If you choose the wet bar/parrot bar/ballroom/presidential suite do you have to pay for your meal per person? Also, just wondering if anybody chose to go with a civil ceremony? Any problems with dates being changed? It said on the e mail that the judge may change the dates even after it's already confirmed. Just curious. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Jennifer

Hey! Im planning an April 2011 wedding! Let me know if anybody is planning around the same time and would like to book the same photographer (Phil Steingard)!! Happy Planning =)

Hi JodJ, Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Great photographer! After much debate over resorts, I believe my decision is made to get married at the Majestic Elegance! (Not until 2011, so lots of time!). Looked like a fairytale wedding! Congratulations!

Just wondering if anybody here used the gazebo for their wedding? Id love to see pictures!

Just wanted to say hello! My name is Jennifer, and Im getting married in March/April 2011, and am just trying to figure out a great wedding destination/resort in Punta Cana! Any suggestions, let me know =)
