    I am still in the process of writing my review as well. I agree with Inga... my wedding was amazing but the resort was a bit of a pain in the butt to deal with for a lot of it!

    We just got home from our wedding and honeymoon a few days ago. Still in the process of getting caught up on everything around here, but I promise to post and tell you ladies all about our experience very soon!

    Hi Maggie! I was in the same boat as you about a year ago, trying to decide between Dreams and Now. We almost went with Dreams Punta Cana, as we absolutely love their wedding gazebo area, but parts of the resort don't look as modern as we'd like. We went back and forth but in the end decided to go with the newer more intimate resort. What are your pros/cons, or important factors? Are you leaning in one direction more than the other right now? If so, then you should probably just trust your gut!

    Yes, we are debating between doing the package or customizing our own, since we are supplying own photographer and music as well. Does anyone know how much they charge for the tall glass cylinder vases? What about charger plates? Just trying to decide what is better to buy here vs. rent there.

    The $5000 fee to use a restaurant for dinner is insane for sure! I'm just curious if that charge includes the food and beverage/use of regular menus of that particular restaurant or if you still have to pay for whatever buffet or plated meal service plus bar on top of the $5000?

    Hi Mandie, Thanks for the informative post. Just curious if you (or anyone else) knows where the 3rd photo location is at on the resort? I'm guessing it's the Eclipse Nightclub terrace? We're pretty set on having our ceremony at the fountain, I was just curious though because I haven't come across any ceremony or reception set-up photos in the Eclipse venue yet.

    Hi Dawn! I'm a November NOW bride too. What are your travel dates?

    Sorry, I meant floating wish lanterns?
  9. mandycross
    Has anyone used wish lanterns, or know if they're allowed at the resort?

    Hi Kimberly! You must be so excited that your wedding date is almost here I'm sure you're crazy busy, but thanks for taking the time to post your advice thus far. My wedding is not til November, but I also have a pretty large group (60+) so I will be looking forward to hearing your review when you get back! Have an incredible time!!!

    Hi Lmb28! You definitely CAN just show up and let the resort take care of it all, but if you are at all picky about certain details then you'll probably want to get involved in the process

    Thanks for the info! BUMP!

    Apparently there is a new permanent gazebo structure at the fountain. Check it out ladies...

    Too funny Do you have any more photos of the reception area that you'd be willing to share? Did you have a dance floor area or anything set up? How about lighting once the sun went down? Were the resort lights enough or did you have to have extra lighting brought in?

    VAV! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to write such a wonderfully detailed review. Your wedding looked and sounded fantastic! I esspecially loved the way your reception was set up around the quiet pool. I think yours is the first I've seen set up at that location. Did you find it windy at night, or was it pretty good? And how was the buffet as far as neatness, and service? Did they have attendants keeping an eye/serving the food, or how did it all work? I am currently torn between buffet or plated!

    Ohhh that is such great news Alana, about the walkway. Do you have a link to Inovart?
  23. mandycross
    Oh yeah, that's coming up very soon for you! How exciting. Mine is not til November but it already feels close now that we're into 2012! That's awesome that you have made so many of the decor items to bring down and give it that personal touch. I'm sure some of your guests could be persuaded into taking some of the items for you. You are the bride afterall... gotta milk it while you can hehe Which locations are you using for the ceremony & reception?
  24. mandycross
    Oh geeze, those are my least favorite style ever! I refuse to blow $800+ on chairs though, so I guess I better suck it up and figure out a way to decorate them in a way that I can live with, LOL Thank you for posting the picture JBMarch... when is your big day?
  25. mandycross
    The starfish look great! For some reason, I thought the free chairs were the folding ones. What do the free ones look like? Can someone post a pic? I was hoping to use the folding chairs too, but at $12 a pop that will get expensive really fast. We already have 60 people confirmed!
