Domincan republic wedding?

Question

my finacee and i have booked two weekd in th domincan republic in december and we are thinking of getting married there, nothing big, no family, just the two of us.

The resort we have booked dosn't do marriages there.

Does anyone know if we can arrange a beach wedding seperatly form the resort and who do we need to contract to do this, we dont really want, cake, champagne, flowers package.

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

marriage on the beach is illegal in most resorts of the dominican republic. some resorts will arrange an in-resort marriage in one of the hotels but mostly you would have to be staying there. speak to your travel agent. most travel companies have a wedding consultant in resort and as the dominican republic is very popular for weddings they are bound to have one there.

do some research before you go as there are documents you HAVE to take with you or the marriage will not be legal in DR or UK and certain conditions must be met i.e. certain interpreters being used for the documents translation etc. try www.dr1.com it's full of information on the Dominican Republic for ex-pats and visitors.

Good Luck and Congrats!

Why not Panama, everything is cheap and good (even it becomes more expensive to locals)
