HDC Photo all the way! If you would like to see my pictures and video email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to show you. My wedding was August 7, 2010 and the product was AWESOME. They were really good. Highly recommend!!!! Jess

My wedding was UNBELIEVABLE. I got married at Melia Caribe Tropical on August 7, 2010. My wedding coordinator was Heinciy Santana and she was an absolute God-send. The resort was stunning and the wedding could not have been better. Our photographer in particular was wonderful. Arnaud Brichet with HDC photo I highly recommend. HIs email is [email protected] for anyone interested. But for the cost and the result, I will recommend Melia forever. Enjoy!!!!

Hey girls! All very exciting! Who are your WC's?

This is definitely a concern of mine as we really like this one photographer but they said they dont work at Melia any longer because of this fee. I am waiting to hear back from the WC so hopefully I will have some more info to post.

Hey! We are looking at Arnaud Brichet with HDC and Photo Souvenir. Both look great to be honest. We are looking to have our ceremony at the beach side Gazebo with a cocktail hour following it and then the reception at the Ampitheatre. I have not looked into all of the add ons but we are looking to just do the basic bar because our guests can enjoy all you can drink cocktails every other hour of their stay. And rum is even included in that price. Havent really gotten into the nitty gritty yet but nonetheless excited!! Thanks for the facebook site by the way. I will check it out.

Getting married there as well in August 2010!! Looking to do the reception at the Ampitheatre as well. So fun!

I am planning on getting married at the Melia as well in August!! Congrats!! Look forward to exchanging info. We are looking into entertainment for the reception right now- DJ or possibly a good band in the area. Not really sure if that exists. We are also deciding between two great photographers. Let me know how its going!! YAYY

Erinleigh you rock!! I am going to MCT in August for our wedding. I would love to pick your brain about it or even speak to you in person to get further advice. It pays to have someone pave the way and your colors are what we are going for as well. LOVEEE the orange!! In the process of looking for a photographer so thanks for the HDC recommendation as well. Happy Holidays!!

I am right there with you with my questions for our wedding in August. Any information you learn please let me know. What vendor are you going with for photography?
