Woohoo! Pack your bags, we're going to the Dominican Republic! We're very excited to have you join us for our wedding weekend.

To make things simple, we've hired a Destination Wedding Expert (DWE) Travel Agents to help our guests arrange accommodation. We've chosen to stay at Lopesan Costa Bavaro, and would encourage you to stay with us!

Many details are below, but here are a few IMPORTANT things to note:

1. Have 1 person from your party make a room reservation using the form below, filling out information for all guests in that room.

2. We recommend groups of 2 reserve rooms for optimal comfort, but rooms can accommodate up to 3 guests. We've quoted prices for groups of 2 below, but having 3 guests will bring the price per person down nominally.

3. Transportation to and from the (PUJ) airport is included in your booking price. No need to arrange a taxi when arriving or leaving Punta Cana.

4. To guarantee availability and discounted pricing, please put down your retainer with our agent as soon as possible!

Why book with Destination Weddings Expert, LLC?

While DWE can offer competitive prices, we also offer personalized service. Anytime you have a question or concern, you will be able to contact us directly and will not have to go through a call center and speak with a different person each time.
We have a 24-hour during-travel emergency line available for our clients if there should be any flight delays or problems at the resort while traveling. Again, instead of reaching a call center, you will reach one of our in-house travel agents, who will do what they can to resolve your problem.

Most importantly, our strong relationship with the resort helps to ensure that members of Jessica and Daniel's Wedding Party that are booked through us will not be "walked" and placed in another resort due to overbooking.

Should you have any additional questions please contact our dedicated travel agents via email Hello@destinationweddingsexpert.com.

Please allow up to 48 hours for an email response.

Why do I need travel insurance?
Because sometimes...

You have to cancel a trip last minute.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs — including vacation rentals, car rentals, hotels, and flights — if you have to cancel for a covered reason.

Travel delays leave you stranded.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for eligible meals, accommodation, and transportation expenses during a covered delay.

You get sick or hurt when you're far from home.

Travel insurance can reimburse you for care following a covered medical emergency while traveling. We can even arrange and pay for a medical evacuation if needed.

You need help in a hurry.
Whether you're planning a week-long road trip or a weekend getaway, you never know what might happen.
Travel insurance gives you access to our 24-Hour Assistance hotline for expert, personalized support in a crisis.

THINGS TO DO IN PUNTA CANA

Please note within 30 days of travel you will be provided with the most up-to-date list of tours available.

But rest assured there is PLENTY to do at the resort and already included in your stay.

There’s nothing like waking up in the morning to everything you ever wanted right outside your door.

Want some thrills for the whole family? Consider an excursion. How about some “me time"? Come replenish in the delectable spa with every beautifying and relaxing treatment imaginable available to you.

GROUP TRAVEL INFO: NOTES OF IMPORTANCE PLEASE READ!

Rooms reserved at a discounted rate, on a first-come, first-served basis. Our agents will do their best to honor the discounted rate outside the 16 rooms, however, the early-booking discount is not guaranteed. The sooner you reserve with your deposit, the better.

The discounted rate is an ALL-INCLUSIVE room rate and includes shared roundtrip airport transfer.

If you book at a different hotel/resort, you will not be able to partake in activities leading up to the wedding and/or wedding ceremony without incurring additional fees for daily passes starting from $150+ USD just to access the event/per person.

We are confident in our pricing but if you were to find a cheaper “deal” outside of DWE, LLC please allow us an opportunity to review the pricing component or price match. We would like to do our best to keep family and friends consolidated at the resort for accountability.

Lastly, when booking your reservation please ensure to fill out the Credit Card Authorization Form, it is the last step of the reservation process.
