That would be great!

Thank you so much for the information!!!! It really helps me out. We booked the ocean view swim up room. They actually allowed you to pay one week prior?!! That would be great! I am definitely waiting on the open bar once I get there now! Laura made it seem like I had no choice. @@KaDeidra262

That's so awesome!!!! Sounds exactly how I'm planning my wedding there. . I'm actually from DR so I know how hot it is. Hopefully I can manage to be in my gown for the day lol. What location did you have your ceremony? @@KaDeidra262 Yea I get there 3 days before. I hope I can get all the small stuff sorted out once I get there.

Awww that's perfect!!!! That's the restaurant we picked also!! We're you able to have it semi private? @@KaDeidra262

If you don't mind me asking, how much did everything come out to be? We are doing the semi private dinner and having a reception party by one of the pools. @@KaDeidra262

Oh waow!!! That's good to know. Thank you.

We are paying for an open bar as well. We are having about 65 guest with us. I just found a photographer from Caribbean emotions. Their packages are awesome. Did it change the price of anything since you made changes once you got to the resort @@KaDeidra262?? We are doing the legal ceremony in the states prior to going to dr

Has anyone used the on site photographers? I'm trying to find a reasonable photographer for my wedding at the Royalton! Did anyone have the ceremony at the lobby gazeebo? I can't find decent pictures. I have everything booked. I'm so nervous. Lol

@@KaDeidra262 I'm having a reception party after the semi private dinner on the resort! It's not included. You have to pay extra for that. You have the option of choosing the convention hall, the beach, or the pool area for a reception party. Also you could just pay for a private dinner and include your reception party there. All in one.

@@Potter8 thank you so much for the review on trip advisor! That does make me more comfortable with everything. Does anyone know if there's a way to work directly with the wedding coordinator at the resort? Laura has been my only frustration really with everything. Even my wedding coordinator from destinationweddings.com asked if I'd consider switching resorts bc of the way she has come off to us. She isn't accommodating at all. She said I have to pay $450 just to bring my own flowers! My family lives there so they were going to provide my flowers due to the over charge of the resort. Laura said just by not using their vendor I'd have to pay $450. :-(

Is there anyone getting married dierectly at the Royalton? I've been talking to Laura about prices for things, and they are so over priced for everything. The are double and trip the cost for flower arrangements. I got a quote from a nearby florist and it's a fraction of the cost but I have to pay almost $500 fee just to bring the flowers into the resort. It's ridiculous. I'm so discouraged. Smh

Hey ladies!!!! I found an outside florist in punta cana. They are full service and from what I've read, waaaaaay more reasonable in prices. I sent them an email. I will keep you all posted!!! http://www.weddingsandeventsinpuntacana.com

Thannnnnnk you so much!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️

Do you mind emailing me that outline? I have yet to receive that too. [email protected]

Any luck on getting my prices from Laura? She hasn't responded to my emails yet. :-/

Oh thank you for the information!!!!! Where did you get the breakdown for the center pieces? I saw on the a la cart menu it said it started from $40 and up. I picked the dream package also. I think that only included the photographer for an hour.

I've booked my wedding!!! Has anyone heard from the wedding coordinator regarding information on the reception and decorations? Looks like everything has to be bought separately :-/

Royalton punta cana October 11th,2014 :-)

Even the last few days the reviews have really improved. I wouldn't worry about it. The resort just opened weeks ago. Go on tripadvisor.com new pictures are on there. A lot of guest that have stayed recently have posted new pictures in the last few days.

Really??? The package I was looking at, included flowers. I know if u want extra than there's an extra charge. I have to look into that. What package did u pick?

Same here!!!!!! Lol. I wish we had more pictures.

I believe you just pay the deposit. If I'm not mistaken after you pick a package they will send you a contract to sign. You maybe able to split the cost. Pay half and half. I'm waiting to finalize all of that myself this week.

Yea. But I think it's a different planner once you get to the resort.

They have 3. I'm waiting to see the other pictures.

I should be receiving pictures of the other gazebo. I will post them when I do! Their big package is still very reasonable and they have the lowest cost for the additional guest fee. It's $20 additional fee per guest over 20. Lucky!!!!!
