Hey guys! So im getting married May 02, 2020 in Dominican Republic. We have 70 guest and we are staying in Paradisus Punta Cana. At first I was going to have my wedding at the resort but once I started researching more, I did not like the idea of an all inclusive resort wedding-they would have other weddings at once, not much leeway on decor, time limit for reception to end and how I pictured my wedding, etc. i then stubbled upon Jellyfish Restaurant which is an outside venue. I completely fell in love! Its exactly what I wanted-I decided exact decor I want- a rustic wedding with my colors (the worked in every aspect of what I dreamed my wedding to be) no time limit, my wedding would be the only one and its such a beautiful venue. It also came out to be a little cheaper than having it at Paradisus. So I decided to have it there.
3 months before the wedding I am now confused as to what my guest think. Many believe the wedding is at the resort not a different place although this is clearly stated on the invitation and wedding website. Is it weird for us to have everyone come together at one resort but the wedding took in another venue (transportation will be provided and its only 10 minutes from the resort). I keep getting confused looks when someone asks me and I tell them the wedding is not at the resort. Was it too much to have them go to the resort then go to another venue for the wedding?
