Thanks Aqua!!!  What email address are you using? I have emailed them twice to [email protected] and no one has yet to get back to me. Do you by any chance have their price packages for both pictures and videography?

Is anyone planning a bachelorette party at the resort or in Punta Cana?  My bridesmaids are on me for ideas, but as I have never been there I am not sure what to do.

Thank you for the pics...but I think an outside wedding would be nicer because it will give the full effect of the tropical setting... Did they show you the outside options ? I have about 30 people attending...it's a small group so we could really do the ceremony just about anywhere maybe on a terrace or something ? Thanks!

JG Corona- I have pictures of all five locations outside, but cannot upload pics on here yet...if you want to email me I can send you the images the wc sent me.

Yes, Natalie that would be great! My email is [email protected]. Thank You!

Does anyone know that has been to the resort if there is enough room in front of this gazebo to sit the wedding party...of maybe 50?  I am not a fan of smashing in 50 people into this small space and would prefer to do like Sunny did with the cocktail area inside the gazebo.

 

Sunny was it really easy to talk the resort into allowing your ceremony to be held somewhere it is not usually held? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Natalie,

 

I've been to BBPD before on vacation and I noticed that the Gazebo is right across from the pool area, I was going to choose this one but instead I'm doing a beach wedding because I feel like too many people are crossing behind the Gazebo its right in the middle of the resort and I also thought it might be too small for 35 to 40 which is what I have so far at least on the beach the space is wider. Thanks for the pictures!

JG- If you go through the forum you will see pictures of all three reception locations...on page 12 I think there is the ballroom that is set up...then the beach with and without the lights, and then Bar Higuey which is an indoor/outdoor (and I think the best location).  Im not sure about anywhere else. I know they dont just offer it, but maybe since you have a smaller party you could use the terrace that many brides use as a welcome cocktail hour...but I know you cannot rent out a restaurant there...but Jellyfish is also another spot many people seem to rent out if Bar Higuey is not available. 

 

That is no good about the gazebo being not private.  I was thinking both the garden areas would be more private than the beach or the beach gazebo.  I know someone who is going down in July and am hoping she will be able to scout out a spot that is more private and they will okay it.  But for my reception I got the Bar H.

Hi everyone!!

 

So I finally got confirmation from Lianny about my wedding on March 23, 2013 at 5:00 pm wohooo 

299 days to go and so many things to do! 

 

A have a couple questions!!  

 

1. Does anyone know if taxes/tips are included on the prices? I'm trying to work on my budget!!! 
2. If the reception is at Bar Higuey ( I really hope it is available) or at the ballroom, do we need to rent a dance floor? I dont see the price on the list of prices
3. I think I read this on this thread before but wanted to confirm, can some guests stay at the Barcelo Bavaro without me having to pay for a day pass?

 

Thanks for you help!!!
