How do I book my room and flight?
Our travel agent, Kristin Zessinger, is the primary person to contact regarding any travel related questions. She is available by email at travelgalkristin@gmail.com or by phone at 636-578-5210. She can facilitate room bookings, flight bookings, and airport transfers. We highly recommend contacting her ASAP for pricing information!
Can I bring a guest/date?
If your guest's name is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then yes! Your invitation will be made out to "[Your Name] and [Guest's Name]" if a plus one has been given to you. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation, so we ask that you do not bring a guest, as we also want to keep the wedding an intimate event with close friends and family! Thank you for understanding!
What if I forget to RSVP/book my trip by June 1st, 2024?
If you do not RSVP AND book your trip either on your own or through our provided travel agent, you will unfortunately not be able to attend the wedding. If you do not book by the above date, there will not be rooms blocked off/available at the resort for your stay. Please make sure you RSVP before the deadline! If you are having trouble with booking, please reach out to our amazing travel agent, Kristin Zessinger!
Passports
Don't forget your passport! Please double check to make sure your passport does not expire before June 2024 as you will not be permitted to travel within 6 months remaining of an expiration date. Passports may take up to 3 months to arrive so please be sure to update or apply for a passport ASAP!

What is the dress code?
We would LOVE to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The dress code is cocktail/semi-formal. Please no jeans, sneakers, or casual wear. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Morgan!
Can I bring my children?
We love your little ones, however, the venue is an adults only resort and unfortunately cannot accommodate children. We encourage you to use this as a chance to relax, socialize, and have fun! Thank you for understanding.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices are out away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. We have hired a wonderful, professional photographer and videographer to capture this special day and we'd hate for their shots to have phones in them! After the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you would like!
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony and reception will both take place outside. As we will be in the Dominican Republic, please plan accordingly for the warm/hot weather even though it will be December. Weather in the DR usually maintains temperatures between 70-85 degrees throughout December.
Will there be an open bar?
There will definitely be an open bar at the reception and we invite you all to use it! Please, however, do not bring alcohol to the ceremony. There will also be drinks available during the cocktail hour situated between the ceremony and reception!
