jerzshortstuff, I too am in the same boat as you are about choicing what Dreams resort. We are also considering Melia..its wedding package is similar to Dreams and is supposed to be a beautiful resort. As far as DPC and DPB i also have been told that DPB is more modern and also closer to the airport (20 min) compared to DPC 1 hour and DPB. Both resorts are priced the same but i think the areas that are offered at each, for ceremony and reception sites differ.

Sooo beautiful!! What a great idea so save such a large amount of money! Thanks for sharing!!

My fiance and i were thinking about going in June...even though its the beginning of hurricane season..but we have a lot of teachers in our family so we thought that would be easier for alot of people. Does anyone know what the typical weather is like in June? Is this a really bad time to go?

Nadine, I was pretty set at having my reception on the beach until someone mentioned, on here actually, that they didnt want to see their reception being put together and wanted it to be a surprise so now im not sure. Have you seen any receptions on the beach of dreams?

Thanks everyone! Pauline what resort are you having your wedding at? And what is the date of it? I would love to be able to see a wedding at the resorts when we do our site visits (after we pick which sites we wanna see haha. but dreams is a definite).

Hey there everyone!! Im so excited there is a 2011 bride forum!! Im planning a june 2011 wedding most likely in Punta Cana. I was thinking the Bahamas but i dont think that would be affordable for our guests (or us). We have visited a travel agent but i wasnt all that happy with the amount of expertise she had on destination weddings so i was thinking of looking around for a travel agent that actually specializes in destination weddings and has connections with certain resorts, what do you all think? As far as what i have done so far..umm basically just trying to pick a resort and cutting pictures out of magizines of things i like. My fiance and i chose a DW because of financial issues and the beauty of the beach. But, I still have high expectations. I love the idea of bringing my own centerpieces (especially if it saves me money) but flowers i would have to agree wtih Ashley, tropical flowers are beautiful. We were planning on sending save the dates out as soon as we found a hotel, which will hopefully be in march bc we are thinking about heading to PC to see some of the resorts, to make a better informed decision about what resort we pick. Does anyone know if the resorts offer any discounts for that? But as of now, im leaning towards Dreams, either PC or PB, bc of the prices and great reviews. They seem to be able to accommodate whatever people want, whether it be plain and simple or elegant. Wow..ok that was all the things i was thinking of as i was reading this forum!! Im so glad to have joined everyone, you all sound so fantastic and i look forward to chatting with everyone (friends and family also think im jumping the gun and should relax and give it some time, but im just so anxious).

Hi my name is Ashley! My fiance and I are thinking about Punta Cana for our wedding destination in June 2011. I am sooo excited but nervous as well..we would like the wedding and reception on the beach and plan on having hopefully about 40 or so guests. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have been researching Dreams alot, it seems to be very modern and accommodating to whatever is wanted for a decent price. We are also thinking about heading there for a vacation in March to visit a few hotels before we make a decision..does anyone know if resorts will offer and discounts for us to do this? Thanks!! I look forward to chatting with everyone!!
