Hey Linds, I stayed at Club Amigo Guardalavaca and again I thought it was awesome! It was a 3star resort and the only downfall for some people would have been food(not for me, I can get along with anything!). Yes, I noticed that if you're flying out of Toronto, you can pretty much go anywhere!! We're planning on getting married in Punta Cana, DR. I've been there twice but to resorts that I probably won't get married at. But I love it there too(I tend to go on all inclusives once a year!). I didn't realize that we were able to contact the resorts directly. I was going to make my decision on what resort we go to based on prices for our guests, so originally I was waiting until the price list came out but found out from this website not to wait! I've emailed a few resorts looking to get wedding package pricing and I'm trying to find some posted on this website too! Hopefully I'm going about it the right way!

Hi MBBride, I see that you are looking to share a photographer during Jan 11-24. How much would it cost? How many days or hours would each bride have him for? Have you already found a few other people to go in with you?? Thanks! -E

Thank you for sharing your experience and pictures!! You look very happy and so beautiful! Looks like you had the most amazing day of your life!!!! Congratulations!

Beautiful TTD Dress!! So sweet of your cousin!! What a deal....90% off, I can't imagine coming across that sort of deal!

Hi Marian, What a great thread! I'm guessing you are probably visiting Punta Cana this weekend, I'm excited to see how your trip went! I've been to Punta Cana twice and am 100% confident that's where we'll be getting married(after a tiny bit of convincing to my Fiance) in less then a year! I'm in the process of narrowing down resorts so that's great that you were able to go there and see what they have to offer. Keep me posted on how your trip went! Thanks! -E

I think I need to make reading this thread part of my weekly(or every other day) routine to be able to keep up with everything! I agree, with your resort being bought out by someone else could be an improvement for the resort. You're right, I would be panicking if you were leaving soon but you've still got time. Someone should be in touch with you soon. Keep us posted! Good luck to KRama and Cara getting married in the next couples weeks!!! All your hard work will now be rolled out and be the fairytale of your lives! Have FUN! Lindsey-getting married in Holguin...great choice! I've been to Holguin twice and absolutely love it there!! Although the resort that I went to(same one both times-loved it that much!) can not be accessed from Calgary anymore. Lots of people have been asking me for more information on the wedding and we haven't emailed resorts yet. I'm going to start this weekend!! How much notice did you give your guests? Once we were engaged(Sept) we told our guests that we would be doing a DW because they wanted time to save $$ we decided to give them a year + to save. I'm hoping to send out STD's but when people send STD do they know the date of their wedding? If they do, why not just send the invitations? If you guys are still going out for drinks, I'd be in too! -Eryn

That's awesome!

Hi ladies! I've just come accross this forum and I'm super excited to see Calgary Brides! I haven't started too much, as I thought the TA was where to go first before starting the planning but nope, that's not the case. I will be contacting resorts now to narrow down my choices of countries(Dominican is what I've been leaning towards). I am wondering how to pick a date if you have people travelling there from all over Canada(Calgarians will depart a different day then BC or ON) or do you just pick a week? Also, November they say is hurricane season and so much can be pushed around(flights, cancellations etc.) any experiences, my other option is January 2011. I know this forum will be super helpful and I'm looking forward to it!! Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'm going to go check it out at my Michaels!

Wow, wow, wow, thanks for all the comments and support!! This is FANTASTIC!!

Well, I've been engaged for over 6 months but everytime I think I'm going to get some information, travel agents just aren't interested so far in advance. November 2010 or January 2011 Dominican Republic or Cuba Hope to find out lots of info! Eryn
