Why choose a wedding in the Dominican Republic?
Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular and the Dominican Republic stands out as a top choice. Planning is a breeze here, with no waiting period or minimum stay required. You do need two witnesses, but resorts can provide them if you’re eloping. There’s also no blood test required. Just check the legal requirements before you jet off to say ‘I do’.
Best time to tie the knot
The ideal time to get married in the Dominican Republic is between November and April. During these months the weather is warm and pleasant without the extreme heat of summer. If you don’t mind the heat, the low season offers great deals, but bear in mind that May to October is hurricane season. Although not guaranteed, it’s wise to consider the possibility.
