For that small of a group I think you can do this on a very small budget!  Many resorts offer free weddings.  For larger wedding groups couples end up paying for a lot of extra's to accomodate for their guests; however, you could have a very intimate and beautiful wedding for the cost of taking a vacation.  Most resorts do charge judge fee's for a civil (legal) ceremony, but you could get married in your hometown and have a symbolic ceremony in the DR and avoid these fee's (usually between $350-$650).  I'm getting married June 29, 2011 at the Majestic Elegance.  Right now on Expedia for me and my fiance we can stay in an Elegance Clug Jr. Suite for 7 nights for $2,508 and that includes flights!  The wedding package there isn't free though.  Check out some sites like that, or apple (although the same trip with apple is $3,100). There are many options for every budget and group size.  Also, when you get your choices narrowed down to a few you should send the wedding coordinators at each resort an email so you can get a sense of whom will be most helpful to you and your family.  Good luck and Congratulations!!!!!
