Our Experience at Majestic Elegance Punta Cana

Before the wedding, we were greeted at the lobby with moist towels and a welcome drink. They gave us bride and groom wristbands at check in and these were also the key to our room. Our butler gave us a tour of the resort and then showed us to our room, which was very clean and had a beautiful ocean view. We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne, two bottles of Dominican liquor, and plenty of snacks and drinks. 

After the wedding, we had a few "honeymoon" activities that were included in our wedding package. We had a spa day package, which we ended up breaking up into two days to squeeze into our busy schedule. It started off with a couples massage and champagne, it was so relaxing. The next day, we drank champagne again and relaxed in the spa for another hour. We used the sauna, steam room, and a hot tub jacuzzi. There was also a cryotherapy tub, which was a tub of icy cold water, and we were supposed to submerge ourselves in there right before going into the hot tub jacuzzi. I could not handle cold temperatures so I skipped that step but my husband did it and he said it felt really good afterwards. The morning after the wedding, we had a romantic breakfast delivered to our room. We enjoyed it on our balcony with a view of the ocean. Later that night, we had a romantic dinner on the beach. We were served lobster and steak with wine. It was very delicious. A photographer arrived towards the end of the dinner and took photos of us.

We spent the rest of our stay at Majestic Elegance relaxing by the beach and pool, doing yoga and dancing on the sand. My husband went golfing one morning with his friends. 

 

The service at Majestic Elegance was top tier, especially being part of the Elegance Club. It was worth the extra cost to get more restaurant, bar, and lounge options as well as an adult only pool and beach area, we even had a butler who took really good care of us. The room service was always on time. When we ordered breakfast for 8am the night before, it was delivered at exactly 8:00 the next morning. When they say the order will be delivered in 45 minutes, it always takes exactly 45 minutes. 

There were many restaurants at the resort, the food was delicious. Flavours, which is the main buffet, was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It offered plenty of food options. My favorite was the pasta bar. See & Sea was the restaurant on the beach. It was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had a buffet for breakfast and lunch. I always got the oatmeal and hot chocolate with my breakfast. Il Bottaccio was the Italian restaurant, it was open for breakfast and lunch only for Elegance Club members. The breakfast at Il Bottaccio was our favorite and we went there the most, everything we ordered was so delicious. El Asadito was the steakhouse, it was only open for dinner. I had the grilled salmon, it was very delicious. Limited Gourmand was one of the restaurants that requires reservations. I had the filet mignon and thought it was amazing, my husband just thought it was okay. 9 Doors was the Japanese restaurant and it also requires reservations. It had hibachi style cooking, which was so much fun. They also had a sushi bar, which was pretty good. McJestic was the late night fast food restaurant, it was really nice to be able to get a late night snack when all the other restaurants were closed. Overall, the food was amazing.

There were plenty of bars all over the resort. Most bars had a menu, which was really nice, it helped me try new drinks rather than having to remember a classic cocktail off the top of my head. 

Every night, there was a lot of entertainment at the resort. There was live piano playing at the piano bar, different shows at the theatre every night, live music at the bar plaza, the casino, the night club, and plenty of bars. They had an escape room as well, but it was an extra charge and we ran out of time to try it. 

Overall, staying at the Majestic Elegance in Punta Cana was an amazing experience with both our wedding and the resort itself. We will definitely be returning someday.

Wedding Registry Guide

 Most couples today, myself included, live together before getting married which means that they already have everything they need for their home. We filled our wedding registry with gifts we want rather than need, since we already had all the essentials .  We registered at a few different places so that guests had options to choose from. We registered at Target, Amazon, Sur la Table, and we organized everything on The Knot . The Knot's registry allowed us to add gifts from anywhere and it synced our other registries all in one place.  In our kitchen, we already had all the essential baking dishes, cutting boards, measuring tools, bowls, and cooking utensils. However, we registered for newer pots, pans, a bread knife, and storage containers to replace some old ones. We already had basic kitchen appliances such as a blender, tea kettle, mini grill, waffle maker, Kitchen Aid mixer, and toaster oven. We did register for a fancy espresso machine, Sodastream, and CrockPot....

Welcome Gifts for Destination Wedding

Image
We wanted to show our appreciation to everyone that came to celebrate us with a welcome gift. We passed them out at the welcome party which was the day before the wedding.  This canvas bag was both a gift bag for the welcome party and a beach bag for the remainder of the vacation. We put the rest of the gifts inside the bag and wrote each guest's name on an attached gift tag. The canvas bags were handmade by my mom using 100% cotton canvas fabric. Then, I made iron on decals using my Cricut and used my local library's heat press to stick them on the bag.  Inside the welcome bags, we put a bag of local Dominican coffee. We put each bag of coffee into a burlap organza bag from Amazon tied with ribbon and a gift tag made with my Cricut.  Each guest also received a t-shirt in their size. I made the shirts using blank t-shirts from a craft store, made iron on decals with my Cricut, and stuck them on with a heat press at my local library. The guests all got blue t-shirts to mat...

Bridesmaid Proposal Box

Image
 I asked my bridesmaids with a bridesmaid proposal box. I made them to fit the theme by using items that can be used during travel and vacation, and everything was in our wedding color scheme. I took inspiration from boxes that I saw on Pinterest and I noticed that most bridesmaid proposal boxes are filled with treats, beauty products, and accessories.   I started with a plain white box , but there are plenty of decorative boxes that can be found in stores and online as well. Most boxes I saw in stores were a little too big for my gifts, but I found perfect sized boxes on SHEIN.  I filled the box with gold crinkle paper , they can be found in any color. I did not see the gold anywhere in stores, so I bought it from Aliexpress.  For the treat, I filled white organza bags with white Hershey kisses . Other treat ideas are different kinds of chocolates or a mini bottle of champagne. Party City has chocolates in many different color wrappings, which is where I got the whi...
