CDC, Wow I wonder if HDC is going to back out now. Should I email them you think?? I don't like Arrecife Studio!!! His emails are so rude and his customer service sucks! I guess since he has this contract with them now he just doesn't care how he speaks to us. Has anyone heard from their photographers? I really hope HDC doesn't cancel!! I wonder if it is $1000 for a permit for a year or something like that, because $1000 per wedding is ridiculous!

I got an email from Arrecife Photography a while back trying to get me to book with him and I told him I already booked with someone else and I got a nasty email back from him. Very disrespectful if you ask me, especially if he is trying to get business. I wouldn't listen to him, The outside vendor fee is $120 like we have all been told

We also hired HDC photo. The company seems sooo nice!! I have heard amazing things about them as well. The outside vendor fee is $110, and their packages are so affordable compared to others!!

SarahnBob - It is a outside vendor fee and also a $300 electrical fee. it is def ridiculous but I have heard their DJ they recommend is awesome!!

Love this idea!!

We are having our ceremony on the beach and reception poolside, you??

JayKay, did you add me to the list of fun

Hey Janet.. is the sun go down in August by 6ish also? I thought it was later.. now I am worried about not having enough time to take pics since our ceremony is at 5pm. Should I change it to 4pm or does it get darker later in August?

JayKay I live in Houston TX Thanks for Adding me.. August 8th - August 18th in Punta Cana, DR !!!!

Janet!! Hey girl, yea if you wouldn't mind sending me over the template!! Thanks so much for all of your help Email is [email protected]

Jay Kay, I just emailed you, hopefully I can make your list I am from Houston TX

Wow Janet I LOVE all of your pics, you looked absolutely beautiful!! Congrats again How did you do your programs?? I love how they are on the back of the chair and made into fans! Your friend got awesome shots of you two, great work!!

Thanks cdc Janet for all the answers!! We are going with the Grill Buffet CDC

Hey Janet, I sure hope you don't mind my questions but here you go Who was your DJ and did you have to get a dance floor?? We are doing it poolside as well and I think my fiance is set on it but if I can I would love to save a little money. Did you get your make-up and hair done by the spa?? Where did you get yours and your bridesmaids foot jewelry? Where did you get your bridesmaid dress?? Your wedding video is amazing!!

Janet, your video just literally brought tears to my eyes, he did an awesome job. We actually booked HDC for both and we are very excited about him as well I can't wait to hear about all the details because I have some questions

Janet, thanks again for all of your advice I can't wait to read your full review!! Ayansi08 yes I have been assigned to Miguelina actually and she has been amazing so far!!

Cool thanks for sharing that.. isn't it pretty expensive though to use the internet or phone over there??

Thanks, I just emailed her over!!

Thanks for all the info you sent me as well!! Very helpful! I just emailed Miguelina seeing if we need to do a call as well to talk about some of the things that Teresa and I discussed. Looks like she is on vacation until tomorrow. I also asked her some questions and I will see how she responds and let you know. I love this site.. def is a big help for everyone!! As for quotes, I haven't found anything on there website that I love but I have found pictures of items that I would love instead so I was going to email and see if they could give me a quote on that as well. What time are you getting married again? I asked about reserving the bridal suite as well.. even though it is more money I think it will be worth it. I also asked for a price quote of getting the girls hair done as well, but I think I am going to give them a choice if they want it done or not. We are getting married at 5pm so I guess I need to make sure I have the bridal suite till then

Cdc,, Teresa also helped me out with the location I should choose, which we went with the poolside. I actually love the poolside more then the beach location. It's so romantic! Where did she tell you?? She also told me depending on how many people we have maybe the packages wouldn't be a good deal for us. We already have 50 people booked now and are prob expecting about 75 people, which is more then we ever expected.. it's crazy. She told me if we have more then 25 people we should look into doing a BBQ beach party is what it is called, I think.. anyway what it is, is that we have a chef grilling lobster, ckn, beef, and tons of other things for your guest. We would be doing it poolside off course. Have you heard of that?? She also told me that if you have the stereo system for your ceremony, they leave it there for the cocktail hour if you have it on the beach as well which is what she reccomended. Anyway she said if you bring your own CD then you can play it on that sound system instead of paying for someone to play at the cocktail hour. Anyone else get ways of saving money?? Any help appreciated please!! Please let me know how your call goes CDC

Yea I am not very happy either. I was so upset. She had told me ways to save money as well.. I hope everything goes ok. I don't understand why I got assigned to a WC that actually works at the resort (I think anyway) She has been very responsive so far but def won't help us in ways that Teresa did. I am really dying to find out why she got fired as well, maybe because she was telling people the ends and outs and how to save money??

I will tell you now, I had a TERRIBLE TA before Christine Kennedy. Christine has been amazing and very quick to respond to any emails my guests send her. I def had the same problem with my first lady and I called Amber several times and told her my deal and told her who I wanted. She had to make sure it was ok with Christine first but it all worked out and I am EXTREMELY happy with her!! I really hope things get better for you.

Weird I thought Miguelina was at the resort also so why did they assign me to her?? I haven't heard great things about Lauren so I hope she does a good job for you. I just want someone as great at Teresa and seems like Miguelina is doing great so far so lets hope it stays that way!! As for booking, are you talking wedding or rooms?

I am sorry CDC, I hope you get reassigned soon. Christine is amazing though. I feel very lucky

Christine with Destination Weddings which is my TA is who told me. MIGUELINA MARTINEZ is who I am now assigned to and I am not a very happy camper right now. I am sure everyone is pissed. I am glad I got info from her that was much needed. They are asking me to fwd all emails so it's ridiculous. Did she give you any advice that would save you money?? I know her son just got married there so she was trying to tell me a few different things how to save money.. I really wonder why she got fired?
