We had an amazing experience working with our Destination Wedding Specialist Brittany Hanks. From the very beginning, she was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and incredibly sup...portive throughout the entire planning process. Brittany was so patient with all of our guests - who we know were a bit annoying with all of their needs and questions and requests. (I'm talking guests missing flights, bringing dogs, canceling and rebooking rooms etc. - she navigated them all with grace)
We selected Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) as our wedding resort. We had a mini wedding week, with a welcome beach bonfire party and fire show, followed by our wedding the next day, followed by a catamaran boat party the following day. We used all vendors provided by the resort (cake, photographer/videographer, saxophonist etc.) While all events, including our wedding, turned out beautiful and fun - the wedding planner provided by the resort itself was not the best with communication which caused a lot of bumps along the way. During those moments, Brittany stepped in, advocated for us, answered my questions, and gave me - the nerve ridden bride -the reassurance I needed that everything would work out and be okay. Brittany checked in with me frequently the days leading up to the wedding - I felt she was always available if I needed her.
Brittany's professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made me feel supported every step of the way. I would definitely recommend using Brittany if you go with Destination Wedding. And even though we had bumps along the way, due to the resort and nothing Brittany nor I did, I think Dreams Macao Punta Cana is a great resort - family friendly (both kid and adult activities), a lot of daily events, decent food, nice staff, multiple weddings while we were there - and they all looked beautiful! And oddly enough, while there's music playing at some pools, and people bustling about - it was a very peaceful and safe feeling environment.
(I added some photos taken by the onsite photographer - but we have over 400 photos from the wedding and reception. The ones posted here doesn't show just how beautiful the photos turned out - but I also don't want to share some of the more intimate, special moments online...sorry!)
