That's totally up to you! We know it is a long way to travel, so if you want to make the most of the trip and stay longer, we definitely encourage that. We are planning to be there from May 22nd-June 1st. The only definitive event planned is the wedding on May 26th, but we will likely organize some other events the day before and after as well.
No, DWT is helping coordinate hotel lodging and airport transfers. Please go ahead and book flights through your preferred airline. You will find more options and cheaper flights flying into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), which is slightly further from the hotel.
We know that childcare can be challenging to figure out, so if you'd like to bring your kids and are staying in the family-friendly side, please feel free to do so. While we will only be having our daughter and nephews at the actual wedding and reception, the hotel does offer a babysitting service.
We are still figuring that out with our travel agent and the hotel wedding planner. More info to come!
