Q&A

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

While we love seeing your little ones, this wedding and resort is adults only. We hope parents use this time to have a kid-free vacation and treat yourselves! If you are having trouble with childcare to make it to our big day, please contact the bride and groom directly as we have alternative accommodations in place for you on a case-by-case basis!

Question

May I come early or stay later at the resort, outside of room block dates?

Answer

Absolutely! The resort will honor the group rate three days prior and three days after the room block dates (Aug 28 - Sept 3). Cindy can help you with your reservations for this.

Question

When do I need to book my room by?

Answer

You must book by April 10th if you want to take advantage of the special group rates. Booking after April 10th will result in paying regular resort prices and may not guarantee you a particular room, as rooms will become based off of availability.

Question

Is my flight included in the all-inclusive group rate?

Answer

No. Your flight is the only part of the trip not included in the price. We recommend you book your flight soonest on your own. If you prefer help finding flights, our group coordinator can assist.

Question

When should I plan to arrive at the resort?

Answer

You may come as early (or stay) as long as you’d like. We encourage our guests to use this time to their advantage and vacation outside of our wedding celebration! Wedding festivities will start on Friday, August 29th, as we welcome our guests to our special weekend.

Question

Is there a dress code for the restaurants at the resort?

Answer

Yes. Most of the restaurants require ‘casual elegance’ dress. For men this means no shorts - slacks, collared shirt, close-toe/dress shoes are preferred. For women, sun dresses, skirts, dressy pants with a high quality blouse, and tasteful sandals or heels. Oceana & Mercure are formal dress. La Riviera is the buffet area where it is considered casual. Shorts are okay but no beachwear. Most of the dress codes only apply for dinner. Please pack and plan your outfits accordingly1

Question

Are there any forms for customs or for my flights I have to complete?

Answer

Yes. Cindy, our travel agent has sent out an email regarding this and also provided instructions: As part of the Dominican Republic’s entry and exit requirements, all travelers must complete a mandatory digital E-Ticket form before both arrival and departure. This replaces the previous paper immigration forms and is required by Dominican authorities. The form can be filled out as early as one week before arrival, and up until you go through immigration. Visit the official site: https://eticket.migracion.gob.do and fill out the form with your passport, flight, and accommodation details.
