but Also the fee with the bar and silver menu ends up being about 50 bucks a person and I think jess is right they do charge you but is better because they serve you.

We went to the jumbo they do have things pretty moderately priced...la Romana is a city though so driving may not be to fun.

Jessica where are you going to have the reception down there? I still can't believe you got that many people to come that's awesome. No matter where you turn you will know someome!

A 163 people wow!!!!! I would recommend bringing pictures of what you want down with you. Time will fly ladies. Now I'm in the sad phase that it's all over and want to do it all again.

There is a hook up because the dj was hooked up somewhere for ours

I'm glad I could be a help! Thank you for your kind words. I got the coral at Christmas tree shop for like two bucks each. We flew into punta Cana. Bus ride is definitely an hour and half but it went fast. On a side note I do recommend you use the bathroom on the flight because once you get to the airport if your like me you are carrying stuff (I carried my dress on) and you have to wait in a long line to get in the country so at that point I didn't really have time to use airport bathroom and there is literally no where to stop on the way to hotel. I ordered the roses probably about almost three months ahead of time. They would have stayed perfect to even bring back with me but they got wet because it began to rain right before the reception so they held up fine for reception but not after that. I had no troubles through customs at all. I did put the roses in my checked bag. Any other questions just let me know!!!! Time will fly but somehow some way you will manage to get it all done. This weekend is our at home reception. I have been just as busy planning that as i was with the island wedding. It never ends haha.

Thank you!!! The inside weddings were very nice too. It was hot but I didnt notice it to much actually...We used HDC they were GREAT. Milan will prob be the photographer. He was awesome!! He was so nice and great with the wedding guests. You could really tell he enjoys his job and took so many fun pics!!! You made a great choice with HDC. If you do trash the dress he does it the next morning because he had to stay overnight at a different hotel close to La romana because he lives a distance from La Romana.

adesir...are you using a photographer? are you doing your reception on the beach?

a few Trash the dress pics

Thank you so much!!! The cake topper came from online. If you search beach wedding cake toppers it comes up on a bunch of different places. It was a gift so I'm not sure exactly which one it came from. Hotel made the cake however I brought the chocolate shells with me. I know kind of crazy to bring chocolate to a hot place, but they made the trip from philadelphia to la romana in a soft sided cooler. I was so glad I did it to because without them the cake would have been very boring. The cake was soooo good though. I was really surprised. We got one layer van with choc filling and another layer choc with van filling. It was really hot that night too but the chocolates didn't melt. Thank you for the compliments on the table decor. We took everything with us. Kind of crazy I know but all the glass made it there and back. I used freezed dried roses for the vases which you couldnt even tell they werent fresh roses. The prices of their centerpieces are a bit pricey down there so I figured I would like to put out the money for something I know I am going to like and bring them with me. The bases for the centerpieces were from crate and barrell. They were the most expensive and pain to take down there but they looked with best with the setting. We brought all the linens. They are pretty affordable from linensdirect.com. I gave pictures of how to set everything to Yanna and she took care of it all. As for getting it all there. We had ten suit cases. Ya wow, but I didnt want to chance sending it and never seeing it. We had a few of our family members bring one down. I split the glass pieces and brakeables between my carry on, my husbands carry on and my dads carry on. On another note to those of you worried about the airport to hotel travel time they are working on a highway from punta cana airport to la romana. When it is done they said it will cut the trip time in half. It will only take 45 mins instead of hour and half from airport to hotel. They hope to have it done by end of year. any other questions just let me know!! I'm happy to repay all the help and advice that helped me from this site!!
