Has anyone been recently married at the Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda in Punta Cana or getting married there soon.

Are you doing a private reception or in a restaurant?

I think it will have to be private because I expect more than 30 guests. You?

yes I'm having a private one, I'm not sure how many people we will be but 30 have already confirmed. Many of my guests are coming from all over  so i would like to catch up with all of them. I'm renting a terrace as i think that this was the most economical for me because i have a feeling that we will be as much as 50 people.

 

Have you decided on anything else? what were you thinking about doing for decorations?

I think we are doing the terrace too, I like the open air concept. I haven't decided on decorations though yet. Are you doing an open bar? I would really like to know where the closest bar is in relation to the terrace. I have a hard time paying $40/person for 3 hours of bar service at an all inclusive! I also think I'm going with the set menu from the garden grill- its easiest due to allergies within the family.

i am doing an open bar and i know exactly what you mean, i've been trying to reach out to people who have been there before so that they can direct me as where the bars are located and where is the best place to hold a welcome cocktail when everyone arrived but so far i haven't got any responses yet

I am also haing my reception at the Garden Grill.  I was able to find where it's located.  It is on the Punta Cana part of the resort and number 14 on this map.
