hmm possibly. They may have sent her a note and asked her to stay out of it. I hope you can sort through the problems you are having. Its not always the best way but it sounds like a good time to send a not so nice email. You shouldnt have to go through any rough times like that. Wedding planning should be happy

 

awww, Thank you!!! I'm still on cloud 9

Hi cdc. I chose the Carribean buffet but with some modifications due to allergies. (i recommend that even if you dont have people with allergies you may as well tell them you do because there is no charge and they added the extra food for me, no question!). The food was fantastic and the buffet set up was huge and had lots of food to choose from!

 

This was my menu

 

 

Menu:
Caribbean Buffet
Lettuce
Tomato
Cucumber
Carrots
Green peppers
Pink Sauce
Vinaigrette
Cilantro Dressing
Seafood salad
Mozzarella with Tomatoes
Pork (Just the meat)
Whole Beef Medallions Flambeau
Grilled Fresh water shrimps, oven-finished
Grilled Breast of Chicken
Dietary restriction request for vegetarian guests
Penne pasta with spring vegetables
Portobello Mushrooms with Garlic
Baked Potatoes
Boiled corn on the cob, and grilled
Rice with Vegetables
Seasonal Fruit Station
Hotel’s Dessert Station

 

+ MY WEDDING CAKE

Hi ladies.  My fiancee & I will be traveling to PPC in 2 wks for a site inspection and I'm wondering if any of you have any pointers on what to look for/ask about if you have done a site inspection?  We'll be doing food tastings too (his idea)...he's very involved in this planning process! Also...we really REALLY want to get married in a church.  He's Catholic, I am not (Im Christian just not Catholic).  However we've been advised all of the chapels and resorts in Punta Cana will only allow Roman Catholic Ceremonies.  I know the Majestic Colonial has a chapel, do any of you know if they would allow a wedding ceremony in there by a locally hired pastor?  I'm torn because I've fallen in LOVE with PPC based on pics and feedback from everyone, but we really would also love a religious ceremony in a chapel/church!  : (

Janet - Thanks so much for the information!

 

I haven't been on the forum in a while, but was surprised to read about all the changes with Theresa. I don't even think my TA knows about this, if she has, she hasn't told me.

 

We were thinking about booking DJ Mannia, but after reading that they are no longer the resort's preferred DJ, I'm glad we didn't book! What DJ did you use and would you recommend them?

If any of you are still looking for or considering videography....i HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend Video Punta Cana!!! Florian is fantastic. 2 days after my wedding he already put together a preview/trailer and before we left the resort to come home he met us with our DVD's and all the footage!!! and he is very affordable. I only mention this because you mentionned pics and since i wont have my pics until later this weekend, i will share the trailer with you which brought me to the subject of Florian and his company LOL so here you go.....enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/user/VideoPuntaCana#p/a/u/1/NKVudgrRbiA

Nevermind re: the DJ Janet, I saw you addressed that on another post. I can't wait to see your pics and hear an in-depth recap! Congratulations!!!!!

 

I'm sooo excited for my wedding day after watching your video and reading your comments after returning.

Has anyone heard from Miguelina this week?  I sent her an email Sunday night and haven't heard back... I just got an automatic response that it will take longer than normal to hear back from her due to busy season...

Janet,

 

Thanks for sharing your video. You made me feel so much better about my resort choice. My wedding is May 12, 2012 and I'm getting restless because I don't know what I should be planning. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

 

* Question, should  I pick the poolside location for my reception or Gabi beach? I'm undecided

 

*Where did you have your cocktail party?

 

*Did the resort provide transportation from the lobby to the beach or did you walk over over?

 

*Did you purchase centerpieces or did you bring your own?

Hi ladies! i've been following this forum for a little while now. Just about to fill in my Romance Planner but realized my calculator doc is for 2011 (that Teresa sent me). My new co-ordinator has yet to send me the updated one. Does anyone have this handy? thanks!!

[Janet1480]

Hi keedon,

 

I'm glad my video put you at ease for your 2012 wedding. You will definitely be happy at PPC

 

You in Black....Me in Red

Getting restless because I don't know what I should be planning. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Ask any questions you would like i would be glad to help and make my recommendations

 

* Question, should  I pick the poolside location for my reception or Gabi beach? I'm undecided

-I'm a big fan of Poolside its very romantic with the palm trees and landscaping all around, its especially nice with the lanterns. Gabi is nice but i was told a lot of negative things about having the reception section on the beach. Would stay in Gabi or go right on the beach? When i spent some time on the beach i could see that the negative things i was hearing were true. For example the biting sand crabs that come out in the 100's at night and the sand fleas

 

*Where did you have your cocktail party?

-My Cocktail party was right on the beach not far from the ceremony, i found this worked best since it was only for a little over an hour. My guests didnt have to go far and the hors d'oeuvres and set up actually would get used.

 

*Did the resort provide transportation from the lobby to the beach or did you walk over over?

-Yes, Miguelina had a trolly come to our room to pick us up, they even called us when they were downstairs waiting

 

*Did you purchase centerpieces or did you bring your own?

-I knew that i what i wanted would be heavy and difficult to travel with so i decided to purchase it from the resort and they did an amazing job. It was EXACTLY what i wanted. I got mutliple sized glass jars from votive height to about a foot in height with pillar candles in each one on a glass mirror.
