Grill package is beef and chicken kabobs with salad and french fries the bar includes Rum, presidente and soft drinks and juices 3 hours on the boat. We did not have any add ons. The centerpieces were separate from Caribbean Celebrations at $50 a piece with 18% tax for a total of $236. I think they mistakenly booked a DJ as we were not charged for that. The cake was from the resort as a part of our ceremony package.

My question is this: does anyone know if they need receipts or if there is a limit on how much we can spend. I just wanna know what/if there are limitations. We were married in Punta Cana February 2013, we had two large Rubbermaid bins that we traveled with as well as 3 suitcases. They opened the bins and looked briefly they ask what the items were for and we told them wedding decorations. They did not ask for receipts and we were on our way very quickly. No issues that at all.

We used just parasols, we did not brings them with us. the resort provided for I think $12 which is far better than the $55 + for BM Bouquets

No we were not given music options. We had the guitar trio they hardly played any music on processional and recessional and they played for the guests before the wedding started.

I have not heard much abou the KuKua Beach Club. But I had my reception on La Barcaza and it was amzing plus they provide the transportation from your resort as a part of the package price no add on. They were able to pick my wedding party up on the beach at the resort we stayed at, Melia Caribe Tropical. But I think with most other resorts the send a bus to the resort that takes them to the Jellyfish for pick-up.

I get how this can be frustrating. I picked my younger sister as my maid of honor and I orgainzed everything and paid for many things as well. She is only 19 and could not afford much and she had never stood in a wedding before. How many Bridesmaids do you have? Have the other bridesmaids helpped with anything? Maybe you can have 2 MHs ? or ask her to just be a bridesmaid since she has alot on her plate right now?

I agree I like without the applique. What about adding a bling sash to accentuate your waist line?

I was Married at the Melia Caribe Tropical in Punta Cana it seemed to be very family friendly they have an adventure park on the grounds with rock climbing walls and zip-line, they also had flinstones themed area for younger childern. We had ages 14-19 they all enjoyed the resort.

none of my pictures had a watermark on them

We did not stay at the Paradisus but did notice that they had walkways to and from the Melia to the Paradisus, I think Paradisus guests can access the Melia but Melia Guests can not access the Paradisus.

I am planning a one year anniversary trip and I wanted to do a Trash the Dress session in San Juan. I am having problems finding information on Photographers in the area. Ladies do you have any suggestions??? Thanks in advance for your help.

I got these fish bowls at the dollar store for $1, but these are glass. I guess you are worried about traveling with glass. Good Luck!

I wore my dress again for the AHR, but I wish I would have changed into a short dress after I greeted my guests. Our AHR was a brunch 3 hours long. We had 30 minutes of mingle time everyone was greeted with a mimosa. We played our ceremony video that was 30 minutes. After that we did our first dance again and played a slide show of our wedding pictures. We served wedding cake and had a bouquet toss. It worked out well for us.

Yes, I think most charge a day pass for him to come on the resort. Some resorts allow you to book pastor york through the resort so then there is no day pass fee but im sure the resort upcharges his fee.....

Sashes have been purchased as well

They have been purchased

Many people that have a large guest count book reception off resort in you are looking at Punta Cana the Jelly Fish is a very popular venue.

We had a catholic wedding in Punta Cana and it was legal no translation of documents required no blood work. We had our certificate in two months after the wedding, it was the same cost as a civil ceremony and the church toook care of filing everything.

Mine was 3 hours, ending at 8:00pm believe it or not all of our groomsmen were far to drunk to continue partying for several more hours. We Continued the party at a lobby bar then the disco, groomsmen did not make it to the disco. Its an all inclusive resort, why pay to extend when you can continue drink and dancing anywhere on the resort with out additional cost.

The Photo Card was made through Shutterfly they were sent out as reminders. The Shimmer Invite I designed and had a local printer for us

here is what we used for our AHR invite
