We're getting married!
We're so excited to celebrate with you in Punta Cana — a few days of sunshine, toes in the sand, and the people we love most, all in one beautiful place.
This isn't just our wedding — it's your vacation. We hope you'll book an excursion, sink into a beach chair, and soak up every moment of this weekend with us. Everything you need to plan your trip lives right here on this site.
Everything you need to get to paradise
Our celebration takes place at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Here are the essentials — and our travel planner Heidi is ready to handle the details for you.
All-Inclusive Resort
Meals, snacks, drinks, non-motorized water sports, and nightly entertainment are included. Guests stay on property for full access to all wedding events.
3-Night Minimum
The resort requires a minimum 3-night stay. Come early — we'll be arriving a few days ahead to settle in.
Airport Transfers
Round-trip airport transfers are included in your package. The drive from Punta Cana International (PUJ) is about 40 minutes.
Passports
A valid passport is required. Please make sure yours is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.
Weather
Late October is warm and tropical — sunshine, breezes, and lightweight fabrics. (And a friendly reminder: avoid the sunburn before the big day!)
Book With Heidi

Your Vacation
Excursions, spa, beach & downtimeOutside of our events, the weekend is yours. Book excursions, lounge by the water, and enjoy everything the resort has to offer. We can't wait to share it all with you.
Upstage the Bride
Gowns for the ladies, suits for the gentlemen. We want you fashion-forward and glowing. Black-tie energy, tropical soul.
Go all out — this is your invitation to be as glamorous and dressy as you like. Lean into soft pastels and keep the florals to a minimum. Truly, don't hold back: the more elevated and fabulous, the better.
Things to Do in Punta Cana
Remember — this is your vacation too. Between our events, there's a whole tropical playground waiting. Here are a few of our favorites; the resort tour desk or Heidi can help you book.
Saona Island
The Dominican Republic's most beloved day trip — sail to a postcard island, swim in the shallow natural pools, and lunch on the beach.
Catamaran & Snorkel Cruise
A festive party boat with a live DJ, open bar, and snorkeling in clear Caribbean water. Perfect for a big group day out.
Hoyo Azul Cenote
At Scape Park, wander the jungle to a dazzling turquoise cenote for a refreshing swim beneath the cliffs.
Buggy & ATV Adventure
Splash through jungle trails out to Macao Beach and a hidden cave pool. Fun, a little muddy, and unforgettable.
Coco Bongo
Latin America's most famous show-nightclub — acrobatics, live performances, and dancing. A great group night out (save it for after the wedding!).
Resort Days & Spa
Or do gloriously little: the pool, the swim-up bar, a spa afternoon, and Macao Beach right outside your room.
A friendly reminder to enjoy the sun safely and save some energy (and skip the sunburn!) before the big day.
