How did you communicate with the onsite WC Maria, did you phone her or email. I would like to have an alternative contact because I am loosing faith in Reene's capabilities. Also to let everyone know Hard Rock Punta Cana is no longer affiliated with Palace Resort I do not know who they are with, but my TA is trying to find out. I am trying to stay confident about my choice becasue it is too late to change I have over 50 deposits down for guests. I am still hearing positive reviews on Trip Advisor and the odd complaint but you get that with any resort. I also heard the planning stages for the wedding are very difficult but once you are at the resort everything seems to work it self out. The only thing I will warn you is that many brides find extra charges on their bills so read it very carefully.

I have been hearing rumors about Palace no longer even owning this hotel as of this month. I wonder what that means for wedding packages?!? Let us know what you find out. If I find out anything I will also post.

When is your wedding?

[tinaandjavier]

i totaly will let you know

Ladies! I have a conference call with Renee today at 3pm, let me know if anyone has any questions they'd like me to ask =)

[DRb2b]

I have a ton of questions but my list is at home however do you know if we can use a photographer from the punta Cana area and just buy a guest pass for them? Also do you have any photos of the different places to have the ceremony and reception?  Thanks!

Hey all,

So according to Rene:

 

If you're eligible for the private functions, it's only valid for use of 3 hours a day. So for example

Cocktail hour: 1 Hour

Reception: you're allowed to use the other 2 hours and then you have to pay for any additional hours depending on how many tables you have, for service.

 

Second If you are bringing your own photographer, they need to now stay a 2 night minimum.

 

The resort credits are only allowed to be used towards the wedding collections, and spa services, etc.

 

The call went so quick I barely even got to breathe! I'm going to call the hotel directly and speak to the onsite wedding planner to go over everything and make sure everything is accurate.
