The whole stay was absolutely amazing and I wish I could do it all over again. 

 

I will say, I was wicked nervous before we left, only because, it's a horrible feeling only talking to the WC through email, but we met with Arise the day after we got to BBPD. We finalized everything that day. Easy. Took an hour at the most. Cake decision. Boom. Photography decision. Boom. Food. Boom. We added the cocktail hour, amazing. It was well worth the money, and we had it right on the beach where we got married. Arise really takes all of the worry off of your shoulders. She really is amazing, and we had absolutely NO issue at all. The only MINOR hiccup was that the judge that married us was a half hour late, which wasn't even a big deal at all, and they just moved the reception time back, so it wasn't affected at all. The professional photos came out AMAZING as well, we had Micelia. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I'll post pictures asap, or I can email them to you. And if you want to email me for anything my email is [email protected]

 

There were 3 weddings happening at the same day/same time ish, and you would NOT EVEN KNOW. They take you on the trolley from the ceremony to the reception area. We all WOOOO'd whenever we saw people. Awesome ride. 

 

The food, really good. We got the tomato and goat cheese salad, awesome! The main course was the chicken, I didn't like it too much, but I don't like chicken on the bone. Other people loved it. We got the creme brulee, along with the cake. BOTH AMAZING.  For the cake, we got 3 tiers all different kinds. The first layer we got vanilla cake with strawberry filling, second, vanilla with pineapple filling, and the top was the vanilla with guava filling. ALL AMAZING.

 

The ONLY thing I could say bad about this place is that when we were trying to check out, there was confusion about us paying for the wedding. We paid for it a week before we left the resort at the front desk (they actually charge everything to your room, so you have to pay for it there and not at the wedding department). When we were checking out, they said that money wasn't applied to our room yet, even though we had a receipt. So our only wish is that there was better communication with that kind of stuff. Other than that, it was the best time of our lives and we would definitely recommend this resort.

 

So, ladies. Do NOT WORRY AT ALL. It WILL be the best day of your life.

Aww thank you for the reassurance!  I am glad you had a great wedding and all went smooth :-)  Hope to see your pictures soon Congratulations!

Where did you end up having your reception?

We are in between doing it at Bar Higuey or at a reception hall. I was worried about Bar Higuey being too hot for our guests since our wedding is in June.

My WC is also Aris so I am so relieved she was great!

She had it on the beach.

I have the same dilemma as you but I'm getting married in Sept. I love AC and I know my guests will love me for it but Bar Higuey looks so awesome!

Aris is my WC too haha

We had the ceremony and cocktail hour on the beach, and the reception at the Bar Higuey. Yes it was prettttty hot, but we got over that! lol Still had a blast!

Just be very careful when bookin in April because they have Holy week which i believe is the week before i leave which is like the 14th to the 20th or something like that and apparently all of domincain basically shuts down, nota good timet o travel so be sure to look into that.

Didn't know about Holy Week... good to know, thank you! We are honeymooning there also and planned to spend the week after the wedding at the resort. Wonder what it will be like.
