Hi, Nya2010!
One of my friends got married at the Barcelo this year, and before I saw how her wedding turned out, I was pulling out my hair trying to find a resort! They did such a great job with everything and the ceremony/reception locations were all gorgeous! Also on my list of prerequisites, I wanted a resort with nice rooms, a nice pool and beach and good reviews on food with plenty for guests to do during their stay.

My ceremony will most likely take place on the beach (that can change when I see the gazebo in person!), and the reception will probably take place in one of the open-air grills. We'll see...it's kinda hard to figure it out when you're so far away!

I booked my photographer before they changed their rules about no outside photogs...also, she required a hotel room for that night. I heard that if they're staying as a guest, they're allowed to shoot your wedding...not sure if that's the case anymore, though.. Happy planning, and good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions!!
