Puerto Plata


Recommended Posts

Has anyone got married, or is anyone planning to get married in Puerto Plata (and the surrounding areas)? It is a place my fiance and I are seriously looking into but there is little information out there on it compared to Punta Cana. We are on a fairly tight budget and we also want our guests (approx. 30 we are thinking) to be able to afford to attend and celebrate with us.

We have already been on vacation there once, we stayed at BlueBay Villas Doradas, it was a lovely smaller, adults only, AI resort, and it has very good hotel rates. I am just struggling to find any wedding information for there other than 1 page on their website!

We are not averse to other hotels either, so if anyone has recommendations we will look into them!

I have already emailed off for some info from a couple of the resorts but I was wondering if anyone had any experience, stories, photos that they would like to share?

 

Thanks all cheer2.gif

I have managed to get a little bit of information from a couple of the northern Dominican hotels around Puerto Plata if anyone else is looking into this destination. It's a little cheaper than Punta Cana. But still if anyone out there has had a DW in the north then I would love their input of how it went and how they liked it etc.

 

Thanks :)

Hi antz,

 

We're getting married on the North Coast (about 8 hours from Punta Cana). We're flying into Puerto Plata and hosting the wedding at a villa in Cabrera, Dominican Republic. It is much more our style to stay at a private, fully staffed villa. We went on a site visit at the end of April and it's absolutely beautiful. It feels like a resort that you have all to yourself. We have around the same number of guests. Villa Flor de Cabrera holds approximately 24 people and then there is another 6-8 person villa next door that is owned by the same people. The owners are Americans as is the chef. The initial price seems really high but when you divide by the number of people, it's really not and actually has turned out to be MUCH more cost effective than the resort option we were considering before this. I have the link in my signature if you're interested in checking it out. We fell in love with the place, the staff are great and the owners are fabulous! We loved every minute of it--from the gourmet meals to the massage on the beach--all great. They are going to host a weekend where brides come to check the place out. The price for the whole weekend was like $700 and if you book, it gets applied to your deposit. Can't lose there and it was a nice little getaway. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them, email me. Jennifer

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
