Still trying to decide on whether to have a local or a destination wedding? We spoke with our brides and planners and came up with the top 5 reasons to have a destination wedding in Punta Cana!
1. More intimate guest list
Guest lists can become very overwhelming and often unmanageable. Think second cousins thrice removed, long-lost uncles, and cousins who saw you last when you were 5 years old. Think of co-workers or maybe even your boss. Having a destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for example is a great excuse to limit your guest list.
2.Vacation for you and your guests
Not only is this a wedding celebration, but it’s also a beautiful getaway. What a fun way to spend a weekend! Whether you are exploring virgin beaches in the Dominican Republic, geysers in Iceland, or shopping in New York, you will always come back full of beautiful memories.
3.Travel savings for you and your guests
Not only you will be getting a better rate from your hotel/resort because you are traveling for your wedding, but also many hotels/resorts offer additional discounts for groups of 10 and more. Some airlines offer group discounts as well. Ask your wedding planner or travel agent for more information. Here at Dream Wedding Concierge we can always hook you up with a deal on hotels in Dominican Republic!
4.Not a typical church or synagogue wedding
Traditional ceremonies are beautiful, but they tend to look a bit generic and require extra decorations. In the meantime, imagine having a wedding arch or a chuppah on the white sand beach or on the rooftop of a skyscraper set against the skyline of Manhattan, a sunset ceremony, perfect light for your photos with the unparalleled backdrop.

If this imagery excites you, then a destination wedding in Dominican Republic is for you!
5.Doing things your way
Planning a wedding is a complicated process, and if you do it the traditional way, you might end up with too many cooks in your kitchen. You will start noticing that everyone–your mother, your sister, your friends, and even your future mother-in-law–has an opinion about how your wedding should look, and they’re often not shy about sharing their points of view. If you don’t want to deal with the stress of those negotiations, then a destination wedding might be perfect for you! When you plan a destination wedding, you can have everything your way!
