Yes!  That's right, but just make sure you have all of your paperwork ready to send!  You need notarized and apostilled "Affidavits of being single," and apostilled birth certificates.  You also need two copies of each of your passports.  My FI only has his original BC, so we need to order one from the state of PA.  They can send you one that's already apostilled, so that saves a little time!

 I sent my birth certificate and it only took about 2 weeks if that... in the end we just decided to get married by a local official before we go and just bring our marriage certificate. We aren't telling anyone so it will look "official" the day we get married. It turns out that because we are doing it that was we will get Pastor York which I read great things about him.

Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks!  Your secret is safe with me!!!  ;-)

Hi Ladies,

 

Getting legally married in Dominican is a pretty simple process. We always suggest that our clients contact WEDO http://wedo.com.do/requirements.htm for their document translation.

 

All requirements are listed right on the site, along with a sample of the single status affidavit. It is never too early to get this process started, but 3 months is plenty of time!

 

NOTE: I always suggest sending scanned copies of all legal requirements to the hotel 1 month before your wedding in order for the coordinator to confirm that all of your paperwork is in order. Make sure to bring all originals and translated copies to your meeting with the on-site coordinator in destination.

 

Hope this helps and happy planning!

Hi!

 

I am doing something similar:

Wedding at the Gazebo 5pm

Dinner at Sea & See     7 pm

Reception at the Wet Bar 8-11

 

I am having trouble with figuring out when to do toasts.  I really want to do them at dinner but wondering with 40 guests and without a microphone will they be able to hear?

 

I am also wondering about the ceremony music.  I have my songs that I want but unsure if it will be played in the right order and on cue. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I only two months away and I'm starting to get nervous.  Has anyone heard anything about HDC photography?

 

and in answer to your question DRBride 8433 I was reading on the facebook page that another person labelled everything for her music so that there wouldn't be any confusion.  Example song 1 ceremony, song 2 bridemaids and so on.  Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone! We just recently got engaged in September and are looking to get married in December 2013 - destination. We have not quite decided on a Resort let alone an Island! I am interested in Majestic Elegance - it does look extremely promising through reviews and the forums I have read. We are interested in having a Private Receptions and are expecting approximately 60 people to join in on our Celebration.


I've read on here that it is approximately $50 dollars per guest - does anyone have any insight on this?

 

Also are most peoples plans to get officially married before then a ceremony in Punta?? We prefer to get married officially in Punta and deal with the extra costs of transferring documents when were home but really have no idea!

 

Any opions or insign is appreciated!
TIA

Hello ladies,

 

Does anyone know what the process is for booking a chunk of rooms at Majestic Elegance? We are planning on getting married in a year, and I am still looking for a good travel agent in my area.

 

Thanks!

Yes, all of us have heard nothing but fabulous things about the Majestic.  

 

You are correct with your estimation.  There are other fees though. They charge for everything ... destination weddings are not as cheap as they once were.  

 

There is a fee to book your venue on top of the price per person.  If you want alcoholic drinks there are bar packages (paid per person).  Any decor you want to have during your reception also comes at a price.  The dinner is usually 2.5-3 hours.  If you want longer you have to pay extra.  If you want your reception to go to 11 and include dancing then there are fees for things like stereo rental, microphone, lights, or DJ as well.

If you are planning on doing the "legal" part of the wedding in Dominican Republic just remember to check what the requirements are. I thought I read somewhere that you need to be in the country for at least three days before the wedding. Not sure if that's correct.

Some places require this, but the DR does not.

    • 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!
