@@JAJELLE41 We had our ceremony at the Garden Gazebo - the beach will be beautiful too. I was just a little concerned about the wind. It was pretty windy the first week we were in Punta Cana, but the second week wasn't windy at all. We had our reception on the pool island. You will love the pool! To answer your question about anything I'd change... Everything was perfect! The resort/wedding coordinator (Julie) went so far above and beyond my expectations I don't think I would change anything... I added a lot of extras, but it was so worth it. We had a cigar roller and carribean trio at our coctail hour following the ceremony and it was so much fun!!! Our group was 45 people and last minute we decided to add a welcome coctail hour the day everyone arrived... I really didn't want to do that because I didn't want to make people feel like they were being told what to do on their vacation, but it ended up being great. It was just one hour with drinks and appetizers in one of their ballrooms.. everyone thought it was a nice touch.. so if you aren't doing that you might want to consider something like that, or dinner with everyone if you have a smaller group.
I probably should do an official review of the resort because I am a HUGE fan of Dreams Resorts. I've been to Dreams Palm Beach twice in the past 3 years and to another Dreams in Riviera Maya and have had GREAT experiences everytime! I feel like I am part of the Dreams family now! You will not regret having your wedding there!
I don't mind the questions so if you think of anything specific, just let me know!!
