Welcome

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.

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.

Style Inspiration

Mood Boards

A little inspiration for each celebration. Use these as your starting point — then make the look your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP by April 1, 2027 so we can finalize details. Because rooms book through our travel planner, we recommend booking early — you can cancel penalty-free through June 1, 2027.
Do you have a registry?
Your presence means everything to us — flying out of the country to celebrate with us is already more than we could have asked for. For those who have asked, we've created a honeymoon fund as we plan our 2028 honeymoon. Gifts are appreciated but never expected.
Are children invited?
We love your little ones, and the resort is very family-friendly. Children are welcome to join you for the vacation portion of the trip and enjoy the resort amenities. However, our ceremony and reception will be adults-only to allow everyone (especially parents!) to fully relax and celebrate. Babysitting and childcare options are available through the resort.
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to limited capacity and assigned seating, only the guests listed on the invitation are invited to attend the ceremony and reception. You're welcome to bring a partner along for the vacation portion of the trip.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
No, our ceremony is fully unplugged. We kindly ask that phones be put away during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present. We promise the photos will be worth the wait.
What airport should I fly into?
The closest and most convenient airport is Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). From there, the resort is approximately 40 minutes away by car or resort transportation.

Cocktail casual / resort chic in your favorite shade of blue. Beach-friendly shoes recommended.

A few essentials:

  • Sun protection & bug spray
  • Evening resort wear
  • Your outfits for the Welcome Party (blues) and the Wedding (coral/pastels/tans, plus sage & pastel blue)
