Iberostar Brides....POST HERE!

[smg878]

Hi ladies,

 

I am in the early stages of planning, I want my wedding in Punta Can and i love the looks of Iberostar. I am just a little confused, there seems to be 4 different Iberostar resorts in Punta Cana, so my question is what is the difference between the resorts and how did you choose which one you wanted?

 

Thanks a bunch!

Hi everyone,

 

I am hoping to get married at the Iberostar Punta Cana. Is anyone getting married there or any past brides with pictures How can you all tell the difference between which resort is which in the thread

Sarah ... welcome!!!

It's very hard to decifer between the Iberostar Resorts on here ... and it takes a long while to go through them all, though it is well worth all the information everyone has shared!! I would say the majority of the stuff on here is for the Mexico Iberostars, mostly the Del Mar/Beach resorts. I'd check in on the Dominican Republic branch of the forum and see if there's any Iberostar chat floating around in there. Overall, I think you'll be pleased with the reviews about the Iberostar chains and the great service everyone typically gets from them! Good luck and welcome to the planning pandemonium!!!

Hey girls!!

 

It has been forever since I've posted because the wedding stuff has kept me so busy!! We spent 15 days in Mexico, then came home for our AHR which was on Saturday. Now everything is over and no more planning

 

Anyway, I want to let you all know that our wedding at the Maya was PERFECTO! I would not have changed a thing. Lily was absolutely amazing.

 

I will post a review soon. Congratulations to all the June brides, and July brides, believe me, everything will be fabulous!!!

A bit more then we were figuring on! Do we HAVE to have these translated? Also, it's my understanding that we have to have an Apostille from the states of our documents too. Just want to make sure this is all necessary before we put out this unexpected chunk of money!!! Thanks bunches!! HAPPY LEGAL DAY BESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey FutureBotter - We got married at the Maya and I was really worried about this exact thing. We did not have to get our docs translated. My DH is divorced so we had birth certificates and a divorce decree, none of which we got translated and everything was fine! We did get Apostilles for all of them just in case, but I'm not sure that it was necessary. Hope this helps!

Hi! I just wanted to share that my last wedding details email from June 7th has been answered. YAY! What i esp wanted to pass along from the email is this: "We did received all the information that you send to us, and everything is going to be like you are requesting to be …One day after you are arriving or the day you arrive, we will send you a letter to set up an appointment to meet with you and your fiance (“Bride to Be”) and we can just give the last touch ups to your wedding." This little bit about what happens when you get there completely put me at ease so hopefully it does the same for anyone else still waiting to hear from them...the other thing was that the email was not signed off by reyna but instead "Karla Tejeda, Wedding Coordinator,Paraiso del Mar & Beach" maybe they finally thought to hire Reyna some help?? In either case, I hope this helps...

I know this is kindof a random question, but I am trying to figure out how much cash vs travelors checks to take and how much can be covered on credit card..... are all the wedding expenses (flowers, reception, hair appointment, etc) through the hotel payable by credit card in american dollars?

When I called Mexico about a month ago I actually talked with Karla. She seemed very nice and helpful. I think it's great that they will have 2 wedding coordinators helping out on our wedding days!! Just a little more reassuring.

I had this same exact question, does anyone know if I cna just pay everything with a Credit card? The entire wedding, cocktail party, etc? I think the DJ needs to be in cash. What about the hair services?

Leaving in 2 days! Pretty much all packed! Need to pick up my dress on Wed and we are out on Thursday! Woo hoo!
