Dominican Republic Wedding Resorts

Dominican Republic Wedding Resort Information

Imagine a Dominican wedding on a paradisiacal white sand beach, the cloudless sky and turquoise sea that provide an immaculate backdrop for the ceremony and of course your dearest family and friends who surround you, waiting to hear you say those few small words that mean so much. I witnessed many couples turning this fantasy into a reality, each in their own unique way.

Although a Dominican wedding can be costly, it does not necessarily needs to be more expensive than a wedding at home. A solid preparation is essential. There are various exclusive 4 and 5 star all-inclusive resorts that specialize in organizing and hosting Dominican weddings. These resorts employ wedding coordinators who will take care of the smallest details, eliminating a lot of stress for many or half the fun for some, depending on who is talking.

Most people who plan to get married in the Dominican Republic will decide to stay in an all-inclusive resort that offers free basic wedding packages with minimum stays of at least 5-7 nights. Such a package often includes two or four resort passes for people in your party who decide to stay elsewhere. Naturally, more elaborate packages are available. Whenever possible I suggest you dedicate a vacation to check if the wedding location of your choice suits your requirements and to talk to the person(s) who will be responsible for certain services like a wedding coordinator, florist or photographer. It is good to keep in mind that some resorts charge hefty fees when you do not use the wedding services the resort offers.

While a wedding in the Dominican Republic might be more economical for you, it often is not for the people you would like to join the ceremony. A special friend or family member might not have the funds readily available to join you at your chosen destination. For this reason and because the hotel or resort of your choice might be booked up for at least a half year, I recommend you set your wedding date well in advance.

No matter if you choose to get married in a luxury resort or make arrangements yourself and stay at a small romantic hotel nearby a secluded beach, you will need to take care of the proper documents and certifications. Don’t forget to contact the nearest Dominican Republic consulate or embassy since they are able to give you the exact details of what documentation is needed.
