Wow your wedding slideshow was amazing!! SO beautiful!! Did you have to pay extra for the photographer? Those shots were beautiful?

Hello! I'm a DR bride but uncertain where on the island we're going to hold our ceremony. We know we want to hold it in January 08. Are there any brides who have photos from their wedding in DR? I welcome any ideas. We are considering Bavaro Palace Punta Cana and Paradisus Punta Cana -- we would like to consider Casa de Campo at St. Stanislaus chapel but have a hurdle to overcome with the church so that's a far shot right now since we most definitely want to be married in January. Regardless, we are so excited and can't wait for input, yey!

Also, perhaps you can help me... I can't seem to be able to "view profiles". Do you know why this is? My friend/fellow dsw member thought maybe I needed moer points and since then I've increased but still can not view. Thanks!!!

What are your thoughts on Bavaro Palace? My fiancee's parents love this resort but just because they love it doesn't necessarily mean I will. Interested in your opinions and thoughts. Thanks

p.s. Your wedding pictures are so beautiful!

I just got married in April in the DR. We went to Cabrera which is about 8 hours (drive) north of Punta Cana to a private villa- Dominican Republic Villas, Caribbean Luxury Villas, Island Vacation Rentals - Sunrise Villa that sleeps about 16, which I highly recommend. Then we went to Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana for two weeks for the first part of our honeymoon and loved it. I have pics on my slideshow of my wedding of the wedding and the honeymoon and would be happy to answer any questions you have. You can ask in here or PM me. Here is a link to my photos:

Just got back from the Paradisus Punta Cana after doing a site visit. What a place! We loved it and can't wait for next April! Let me know if anyone is interested in that resort.

This is my top choice right now for our wedding in July of next year...what did you think? I think we would choose the garden gazebo for our wedding and not sure about reception sites....did you see/get pics of those? What did you think of the room quality?

Thanks so much!

To my knowledge, they don't have a garden gazebo at PPC (they do at Melia and PPR). These are the ceremony site options they've given me.

Garden Wedding w/ Tent



Garden Wedding w/o Tent


Lobby Balcony Wedding (small groups only)


Beach Wedding

That's odd...in browsing the candid traveller photos on trip advisor, I came across a wedding photo of a large floored pavillion that was decorated for a wedding.

I can't get the darned picture to the right size to upload!

 

The poster got married there in 06, so maybe their locations have changed?
