Awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know that...I feel so much less stress knowing she is going to be doing my hair/makeup...you're making a good decision going with Jellyfish...we had dinner there last time we were in Punta Cana and loooooooved everything about it! Fiance wasn't sold until we went there then that was it..it wanted as bad as I did...good luck with the planning!

Caitlin were the round tables included at no extra cost instead of the square?

hanalulu - I actually recieved an email from Indira last week after emailing her months before! I deleted it because I booked with Krystie Ann but she was VERY expensive..something like $300 for hair & makeup & she will only come to Punta Cana if she does a minimum of 5 people...and you have to pay her travel costs as well....sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Also can anyone give some examples of what some of the dessert options were and what the cost per person was to add it?? Thanks!

li282, do you think there would have been enough room to do the dance floor inside if you had 60-70 guests?

Just booked Krystie Ann and couldn't be more excited! Turns out she will be there for my wedding date...thanks for posting ladies otherwise I wouldn't have emailed her again to see if she changed the dates she is in Punta Cana...no more stressing about hair and makeup!! Yay!!

I am so jealous of you girls!! I was looking into Krystie as well but she isnt there on my wedding date..January 16th...looks like I'll be doing my own makeup

Oh and Venus if you're still on here...where did you get your flat sandals from?? I'm looking for a pair right now and havent had much luck..I'm not wearing heels at all *sigh* because my FI is only 2 inches taller then me and I refuse to be taller then him on my wedding day lol...normally I do wear heels so I am finding it hard to find sandals that are dressy enough...my dress is an offwhite so I'm thinking about just going with silver..alot of the gold sandals I find look cheap...

Hey girls...I'm trying to figure out the table sizes...I can see that most look like they were tables of 8....do they have tables for 6 or 4 available as well? I can do most tables with 8 but might need a couple smaller ones as well..

Ugh I wish! we are missing each other by 20 days I can't find anyone else!!

Ladies did any of the dinner packages include dessert or did you have to add that as an extra?

Does anyone know how many ppl the bus fits? Thanks!

120 people wow thats more then I thought!! That's awesome!! That makes me happy because we might have 70-80 ppl and I wanted to keep the dance floor inside...

prices do not include taxes..you will be charged 16% tax on top...thats all i know lol...did people tip their photographers?? I was under the impression the fee was enough quick question..for the appetizers...For example for the $35 menu it says you get ceaser salad and chorizo so do you get both or a choice of 1 or the other?? thanks ladies! And its OFFICIAL!! date has been booked for January 16th...Dreams Palm Beach booked for gazebo ceremony...yay!! So glad it's official!

We didn't have time to check out Now Larimer....from what I've heard its an overall decent resort but the food is really hit or miss. Jellyfish can for sure fit 60-70 ppl with a dance floor inside...not sure what the actual capacity is tho..if you find out I would love to know!! There is the upstairs as well that if you NEEDED to you could put people there...

Oh and ladies I just got back from a site visit to about 10 different resorts in Punta Cana and I think we have all made a good decision We loved how everything is within a 5-10 minute walk, the rooms are really nice, grounds very well kept, great pools, restaurants looked really nice (we didn't get in any of them bc we were only doing a tour of the resort) and the coffee shop is a nice added bonus as well. It also seems like they have a really good entertainment program and activities going on all the time. It's going to be great!

Just booked our wedding so it's official!! January 16th..wedding in gazebo at 4 pm and reception at Jellyfish. Now the waiting begins lol....

for you ladies who stayed at Dreams Palm Beach..was the nightlife ok? We have some single people and partiers coming and want to make sure its ok for them too...

Hello Ladies....can anyone who has been here advise how the nightlife/entertainment is at the resort? We will have at least 10 single ppl coming and want to make sure they will have a good time as well...how was the disco/sports bar? I noticed it says there is late night snack at the buffet...what does that include & can you get drinks there late night as well? Is the lobby a big enough size to meet up and have drinks with your group? Thanks!

Well Ladies....I just got back from my trip to Punta Cana to check out resorts and Jellyfish...believe me we have all made an excellent decision!! Let me just say that FI was not sold on doing our reception off resort & literally as soon as we pulled up to the restaurant and got our table he was already saying lets do it at Jellyfish. Food - I took Greg here for his birthday dinner & we had..appetizer - tempura shrimp...delicious! Main we shared the seafood grill that had lobster, langoustines, shrimp, fish, conch & also comes with a side antipasto platter & rice... Omg it was all amazing...so much food & everything was delicious. The presentation on the food was really good as well. It is the same quality of food you would expect from a restaurant in Canada or the US & was hands down the best meal we had all week. The resort food didn't even compare. Also, we went to my cousins wedding while we were there at the Gran Bahia Principe and her wedding dinner was a joke...that also made us realize how much better Jellyfish is for a wedding reception. Ambiance - this is what sold us...it is the perfect blend of modern, rustic and tropical if that makes sense lol. You totally get the beach casual vibe and all the wood & stone is amazing...but it still seems modern bc the food, service etc is so great & they were playing awesome music. The lighting in the restaurant is amazing!! The lighting on the bar and all the warm lighting around the restaurant makes the best ambiance...there is no need to worry about it being too bright or having ugly fluorescent lighting...it's perfect! I wish I could post pics but I can't All I can say is don't worry...this was the best decision you've made & get excited! Your guests are gonna love it! Service - we had a lot of different servers dropping off food & clearing our table etc...they are so nice and friendly...probably because they are working for their tips compared to the resort where they know half the ppl don't tip so they don't care. We met Mayte and she is so warm And genuine...she gave us both big hugs and just asked us to be patient bc she deals with the weddings that are close first... She says right now she has 200 emails that need to be responded to but when it's closer to your day she is on top of it...and I believe her...there really isn't much communication you need until maybe 2 months before the wedding. She will make everything happen don't worry! I will also mention that we were so hot this trip & at my cousins wedding it was so hot my aunt almost passed out...there was no breeze & everyone was so sweaty it was gross. Having dinner at Jellyfish we were so comfortable....there was the perfect breeze and we weren't sweating at all...it was perfect!!

Just to clarify...so you added up what the total cost of your wedding was and divided between the amount of people you had & thats what the cost ended up being per person?? That's alot better then I thought!! and that was including DJ Mannias fees?? Is alcohol included or do you have to pay a fee per hour per person?? I am noticing alot of resorts charge that....

Hey ladies..just wondering if there is the option of doing the reception at one of the restaurants like the See & Sea? I would like to have something covered but still open air if that makes sense...anybody have any ideas?? Or are the only options beach, poolside and ballroom? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the actual capacity of the restaurant is? We are estimating about 60 people and just wondering if we can still do the dancing inside if we have that many people? Also, to those who have been there..did you find it was really windy?? I went on vimeo and typed in Jellyfish Punta Cana and there are tons of wedding videos on there which is great to get ideas!! But alot of them looked like it was really windy..just wondering! Thanks ladies!
