La Barcaza - Booking..HELP!

BrideJan2012 · March 31, 2011

So I need some help!. I have recently booked my wedding at the Melia, Punta Cana and was very interested in booking La Barcaza for our wedding reception. Currently I have 50 guests booked to join my FI and I for the week. I have been given prices for La Barcaza through the resort which are $25.00 per person more then booking directly through Flori. I have emailed the wedding coordinator at the Melia several times trying to ask why there is such a difference in price, but have not gotten an appropriate response back.

Long story short, I was wondering.. for those of you who have used La Barcaza for their receptions, did you book through the resort or through Flori. Those who did bok through the resort was your ceremony included in this $25.00pp extra or do you have to choose a package on top of this.

Any information would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

Hi BrideJan2012,

My FI and I are having our reception on La Barcaza on November 17, 2011. I booked directly with Flori, and she has been great, just have to be a little patient when getting a response from her directly. She usually gets back to me within 3-5 days, which really isn't that bad.

We are getting married at Paradisus Punta Cana, and the ceremony isn't included in the cost.

Thanks for your response! I have my quote from Flori she definitely has been great. I plan on putting my deposit down soon and we have figured out the ceremony detail from the resort just waiting to get my quote to put down the deposit there! Goodluck with the rest of your planning:)
