hey krisj40 welcome and congrats on your engagement!! My fiancé and i are avid travellers and we have been to the DR (punta cana) for his brother's destination wedding. We stayed at the Dreams PC which was a very nice hotel and had many restaurants as well as casino and stage for entertainment. The dominican republic is more carribbean in regards to the foods and atmosphere. It just all depends on what type of wedding you would like to have. The resort was wonderful however the wedding was held at another location quite far away called Cap Cana. Although there were many weddings happening during our stay at the dreams PC. My fiancé and I are getting married in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. We have travelled to many parts throughout costa rica and fell in love with santa teresa!! not to mention Tom Brady and Giselle Bündchen also got married there!! We don't prefer the huge all include type reosty type of accommodations and we are choosing to stay in the beachside Villas. however it is a bit more of an adventure, but well worth it. costa rica literally means "rich coast" and it has such natural diversity from wildlife; the howler monkeys are swinging through the tree and the Macaws are flying by your doorstep... the range of flora and fauna there is one of the most diverse places on earth. which is typically important to me since i love orchids and want to have orchids in abundance at my wedding, making them much more affordable .... i could go on and on about either country but if you have any more questions feel free to ask away. there are many other beautiful places in costa rica such as manuel antonio and the province of Guanacaste. hope this helps happy searching Shanel

Hola erinkathleen84 !!! i'm also thinking to have my destination wedding in santa teresa. my fiancé and i are planning our wedding for january 2014 and we have been to all three areas montezuma, mal pais, and santa teresa. here is a website to give you some more information and also maps as well. were looking to have an eco friendly type wedding since we don't care much for the big resorts either. the website shows all accommodations, restaurants and bars etc: http://www.nicoyapeninsula.com/teresa/north.php the dry season months are between january-april and you would preferably need to travel to these areas in the dry season. since many of the tavel needs to be done by 4x4 the ferry also has a shuttle that can transport you guests as well. hope this helps cheers!
