Our Wedding

With friends &amp; family traveling coast to coast for our big day we wanted a neutral location and the opportunity to make a vacation out of it! Dreams Macao is a 4.5 star resort located in the Dominican Republic surrounded by clear blue ocean waters. It is all inclusive which means there will be unlimited food, drinks, wifi, and entertainment that is all included in your stay at no additional cost.&nbsp;The resort offers four pools, over a dozen restaurants/bars, and plenty of activities.

Why Punta Cana?

WHEN DO I HAVE TO RSVP BY?

The RSVP booking deadline has now passed, and we’ve officially closed the list. As of December 31st, if your payment and room booking were not completed by that date, we’ll need to mark you as “unable to attend,” as we’re required to submit a final headcount to our wedding planner by that time.

Will I need a Passport?

Yes! Make sure you have a valid passport and that it expires AFTER November 2025. The 6-month passport rule states your passport must be valid for another six months before departing for your international travel.&nbsp; For passport information you can visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply.html</a> If you need to apply for or renew your U.S. passport for international travel, please read the <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/travel-advisory-alert-global-level-4-health-advisory-issue.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Department of State's current international travel advisory</a>. Please keep in mind passports take 6-12 weeks to process.

All our events will be taking place on the Dreams Macao Resort in Punta Cana. Our ceremony will be held on the Himitsu Garden Terrace starting promptly at 4:00pm.

The reception will take place on the Seaside Sky Terrace from 6:00pm – 10:00pm where there will be food, dancing &amp; an open bar! Following the reception the resort offers a sports bar/night club called Desires that is open until 2:00am where we would love our guests to join us to continue the celebration!
