Ok just back home from our wedding! Everything was amazing. We rented out the top part of the marlin restaurant and had a private dinner. We also had a party on the beach--which was amazing as well. We used Michael Wiler from carribean emotions for our photos-our entire family was impressed by him and our pics are amazing. Not sure what you are looking for guys but ask away!

I am having a wedding in 3 weeks i can show pics soon

Well i will be there in 3 weeks. I can share some with you guys after the wedding.

Rousseva, Could you let us know when you get back what some of the add on's are, like bouqet options, flowers, decorations, table linens, etc and the costs associated with them? and maybe a review? I don't think this information is readily available and I am sure we are all curious. Thank you! Sasha

FYI there is another photographer in the area that does good work from what I hear and has great prices his name is Jorge Alloco. I am most likley going to book him or carribean emotions.

We are going to do welcome bags. We are going to put chap stick with personal labels, sunscreen of course, water with our labels and possibly candy and other items for the guests. We are mailing the stuff to the Hotel most likely since bringing it as luggage would be too much.

Dania, this is so helpful and a list of what I have been looking for!!! It is hard to get all of the answers that you are looking for and you only get them in bits and pieces through email. What does the reception look like? Is it extra to rent different color table cloths? What about the decor at the tables, like napkins and plates? Ariana says that white table cloths, chair covers at both the reception and the ceremony are included in the packages. We too are getting married at home and going with the symbolic ceremony. It is WAY TOO complicated to get everything translated! With the packages it says you get upgraded for free. Do you just choose the least expensive room and they automatically upgrade you? Thank you again for all of your information and help. You are taking so much stress off me!

Dania, did you have to add on additional hours to have the reception until 11pm or was that the included time in the package?

I think you can also rent the disco for 3 hours for the same price as the beach party. I would imagine that if it rains they will allow you to do this instead. Alxesbabe, how long do you get for the dinner at the restaurant if it is a private dinner? Although the ipod is more cost effective, I am not sure if I would want to worry about the ipod during the party. If you set up a play list you wouldn't have to change the music....... I think they said that the beach party is for 3 hours or 2 1/2 I cant remember, for 350. They must have up'd the prices. We are doing the beach ceremony, the private dinner at the marlin and the beach party. Since our ceremony is a symbolic one it is 800 for dinner and ceremony, and 350 for the beach party. I am just trying to get a budget in mind so how much should I set aside for the flowers and decorations???? They only send vague pics and no prices on how much extra decorations would cost. Does any one have an idea? Does anyone know what the cake looks like??? Or if you can get a more expensive cake with decorations???

Alexsbabe, I have a question for you. You reserved the marlin for the private dinner and then paid extra to also have the reception there with a DJ? How much extra is renting the marlin and DJ for the reception as well?

I think this is their information but I my self have not received a response from them by email. I think it may be better to call them. Teléfono: 809-552-0933, 809-552-0153 Fax: 809-552-6718 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]

This is really helpful!!! Thank you for all the wonderful tips! Did you have to buy day passes for the florist to come decorate the areas? What cake options are there as well? Sorry my other message was cut off. Can you send a price list for the flowers? [email protected]

Can you also post their contact information as well?

This is really good and helpful information. Could you email me the information for the florist? [email protected]? Also, what was the price range for all the decorations? Did you have to get a day pass for them to decorate the hotel? How exactly does all that work?

There are three hotels there. The Palace deluxe has seperate packages than the Punta Cana and the domnincan beach resort. Ariana, works at the Punta Cana hotel. There are several packages on the websites and if you scoll through and choose each hotel you will see different package choices based on the hotel. Also, if you are looking to get more for your money, you can book a symbolic wedding (which is not legal) then later get legally married in your home town.

I also am planning a wedding at the Barcelo with Ariana. She is awsome and has answered every email quickly. I also booked the bonfire and beach party. I am only wondering what the cakes and flowers and decorations look like. Does anyone have any pictures or descriptions? or Pictures of their wedding?
