New bride!!!! Whooo hooo!!!

[MaryJane]

Hello all! I am new and planning my wedding in Dominican Republic for Oct 2010. I am in the begining stages and have some questions:

 

1. Do I really need a travel agent to book my rooms, I have been contact the resorts myself negoiating rates.

 

2. Has anyone been to the new Moon Palace Spa in Punta Cana, Paradisus Punta Cana or Dreams Punta Cana?

 

3. How exactly do the packages work if you book rooms?

 

4. How did you get your dresses there?

 

Okay...that's it so far:) Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciate!!

Hi MaryJane,

Congrats on planning your DW!! I think that a lot of brides plan their wedding without a travel agent, it just depends on how you feel about all of your guests contacting you with questions/problems about travel plans. If you're good with organizing this sort of thing and have the time, you could def do it on your own.

I'm using a TA that I found through the forum...just because I wanted the planning process to be as stress-free as possible!

Congrats and welcome to the forum!
1. That's really a personal price but a TA often can negotiate the best price and is beneficial to offer their services to your guests.
2. There are threads on the forum dedicated to these resorts
3. I'm not really sure on this one
4. Take it as a carry-on on the plane.
