Hi all! We have decided that our wedding will be in Punta Cana in May 2015. I have been researching resorts. The top ones I am looking at are Now Larimar, Iberostar Resorts (Punta Cana, Dominica, or Bavaro), and Barcelo Punta Cana. I have also been looking at Melia Caribe Tropical as well. My main concern I have noticed when researching the resorts is the reception. I am confused as I see some resorts have reception options, but do not offer music/dancing after dinner. Is this a separate place you have to rent that is not included in most wedding packages here? I have noticed some of the packages have dinner in restaurants that are not completley private if you do not have more than 45 people. I was wondering if anyone has any advice about which resorts offer private recepitons/dj service. I would greatly appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I am new to the forum, and am just starting to plan my destination wedding. I have been doing research on the Riviera Maya. I am currently feeling very overwhelmed, and was wondering if anyone has used any good yet affordable resorts. I was also wondering if people who have plans to get married in the riviera maya have an estimate on what it will cost their guests. We are thinking of next January, but some people have told me it would be too cold. We are still open to other destinations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am going to meet with a travel agent next week. Thanks!!
