How to choose
Size first: over 1,500 people points to Barceló Bávaro, the Hard Rock/ICC complex or Paradisus; 100 to 400 fits the Westin; under 25 suits a villa. Then decide whether the hotel's events team is enough or whether you need a DMC for off-site dinners, excursions and arrivals. Compare AV inclusions: Paradisus charges extra for its interactive projection room, while the Westin lists wireless AV in its indoor spaces. Add ExperiencesDR's Event DJ (from US$1,000) or a recap video (on request) for the closing night.
