Question

Why a wedding in the Dominican Republic?

Answer

Stephanie's family is from the Dominican Republic and we love the ocean! So we figured why not!

Question

When should I get in?

Answer

We recommend you arrive at least two days before the wedding (Saturday, November 9, 2019). We will arrive at the resort Wednesday, November 6, 2019.

Question

Is there a minimum stay requirement?

Answer

Yes, there is a 3 day minimum stay requirement. If you are staying for 3 days, we recommend the following arrival/departure options: Saturday, November 9th- Tuesday, November 12th or Sunday, November 10th- Wednesday, November 13th

Question

Can I stay at another resort or at an Airbnb?

Answer

Yes, but we strongly recommend you stay at the Majestic Colonial. We need 90% of our guests to stay at the resort per Majestic Colonial policies. Also, outside guests run the risk of not being able to attend the wedding. If the resort is at maximum capacity, outside guests will not be allowed to enter the resort. We have been told this happens often. Additionally, you may spend more money if you stay elsewhere because you will have to cover your own transportation to and from Majestic Colonial, and purchase a day pass for every time you come to the property. The cost is $110 for a regular day pass (valid 9am-9pm) and $110 per person (from 9am until reception closes the day of the wedding). Lastly, we chose to have our wedding at a resort in order to spend time with our friends and family. We would love to spend time with you before and after the wedding. We plan on hosting a welcome dinner and several get-togethers during the week. We hope to see you there!
