I still can't work out the font/size and color thingy or I would have replied sooner!

Anyway:

Dra. Bienvenida Dum? at the Registro Civil office at the aAyuntamiento: 571 1390. She does this all the time. Just tell her that Donato's father in Santiago sent you.

The favors are very popular. All wedding planners here have them.

GOOD IDEA ANNA: You are an incurable romantic!!

Wedding Halls - Santiago

I have been to 2 weddings at very nice places in Santiago.

The first one was at Gurabito Country Club and for the space it was about $500.00, but whoever reserves the hall has to be a member of the club.

The second one was at El Club de los Ferreteros. This one costed less and no membership was necessary. If you want to have good sized wedding (200 or so guests) I would recommend this place.

As far as prices of DJs, pictures, caterers I will have to ask my friend's wife (as her parents paid).

One interesting thing about Dominican weddings is that "el padrino" has to buy the liquor for everyone. I found this out the hard way.

I would like the phone # for the "German Bakery" in Sosua located on the opposite side of the highway from the "Trade Winds". We are getting a wedding cake there and I need to call to be sure the owner will be there when we go down to order it.
Thanks
John

Wedding Dresses

Buying and renting Bridal wear:

In Santo Domingo there's a bridal boutique/salon/whatever called "Classic Elegance", that's on the 27 de Febrero, quite near Plaza Central. I rented my dress there and it's beautiful! They have a good selection and you can also rent jewelry, tiaras...almost everything. They also have excellent photo service.

At plaza central there's a little shop called Novissima. There's also another one called Novella, they have an European selection (Pro novias for instance) but I don't know the address.

Ana asked me to post the name and number of a designer for wedding dresses in this thread, but since she works out of her home and hasn't given me permission to post her number for now you can PM me and I will put you in touch.

Here we'll list where to go for things if you are marring outside of a resort:

Who to call in the North Coast for:

Flowers:where/how much?

Minister/Priest: Names and phone numbers

Who makes the best wedding cakes: name/phone numbers, price.

Hi everyone - I've been asked to plan a wedding in Cabarete on August 26, 2004. The couple would like to get married right on the beach at sunset. We're staying in a apt. hotel (El Magnifico) and not a resort. I'd appreciate your help w/the following:

Florist: Name/phone numbers (simple bouquet and boutoniere will do)

Cabarete Minister/Priest: Name/phone numbers

Dominican bakery/wedding cake: Name/phone numbers, price

Thank you in advance!

wedding help?

This is my first message on this forum so apologies if it goes all wrong! My boyfriend and I are off to Cabarete in February to work and we'd like to get married there. Hopefully it will be 40 odd people and very casual. Any ideas of how to go about it and how much it all costs? Any help would be much much appreciated!

(eg Gulia's number from Ventos by the sounds of it!)

Thanks,
Sophie

Hi,
Ventos is a really quaint, Italian restaraunt right in the middle of Cabarete, on the beach. It has a wonderful ambiance, great food, and wonderful staff.
Giullia plans a great wedding, big or small, she takes care of all the details, flowers, music, etc. She is a very cool, eccentric, amazing person, very easy to get along with! She is a very good friend of mine. Tell her, her Canadian hairstylist directed you there! The number is 571 0977, bueno suarte!
