The colors and mood of the week are Summery and Spring florals. Below are some examples of colors and moods that show our general vibe. Please don't feel that you need to match exactly, whatever you feel comfortable wearing is what we want you to wear. Men, we totally encourage colorful suits! Please avoid black and white.

Travel to the Dominican Republic does require a passport. If you do not have one already you can get one through your local post office. However, the process can take up to 3 months so don't wait! You can find a complete breakdown of how to get a passport here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/apply-in-person.html#:~:text=Go%20to%20a%20passport%20acceptance,a%20passport%20agency%20or%20center.

Absolutely not! If you can only make it for a couple of days that is completely fine! We will be in Cabarete May 28th-June 3rd, and the day of the actual wedding is June 1st, 2025. We will be absolutely stoked with any amount of time you are able to join us!

Yes! Cabarete is regarded as one of the safest destinations in Caribbean. You can read more about Cabarete safety here: https://tripsupport.ca/blog/is-cabarete-safe-for-tourists/

While Haiti and the Dominican Republic are neighbors, they are still very different countries. This is not the first time Haiti has experienced civil unrest and the DR has remained virtually unaffected due to strong boarder control, increased homeland security, and regional deterrents. The DR continues to be one of the safest travel destinations in the world with a travel advisory of 2; the same as popular vacation spots such as: Denmark, Canada, Italy, France, and Germany. The biggest threat is petty crime such as pickpocketing. You can read more about it here!: https://www.afar.com/magazine/is-it-safe-to-travel-to-the-dominican-republic

Hurricane season starts in mid June and ends in November, with the highest risk being in August-November. Although hurricane season falls on these months, June and July are actually the driest months of the year in the Dominican Republic.

We understand that international travel is not possible for everyone. That's why we will be offering a virtual attendance option. On the day of the wedding check this page for a link to a livestream of the wedding. There will be someone monitoring for comments as well as walking around the crowd to ensure everyone feels they can be included in our special day.

Children are absolutely welcome. We will have kids in our wedding party! However, if you do not want your children (or yourself!) exposed to explicit language, adult jokes, or otherwise potentially offensive behavior we will completely understand.

As with all tropical climates, you can expect it to be hot! Pack loose clothing and Summer attire. Oh! And Cabarete is a beach side destination so don't forget your swimsuit!

The local currency is the Dominican peso (RD$). The daily rate fluctuates depending on the day and the location of exchange. Keep these numbers in mind as a general guideline: RD$100 = US$2 RD$500 = US$10 RD$1,000 = US$20 United States dollars and Euros can be readily exchanged in banks, or in authorized exchange offices around the country. ATMs from Banco Popular, Banco BHD León, Banco Progreso, and Scotiabank accept North American bank cards, and offer an English or Spanish language menu. As a tip, you will often find ATM machines in airports, supermarkets, major resorts, and shopping malls.

Restaurant bills automatically include a 10% service charge–apart from the 18% sales tax that you will see listed as ITBIS. It is customary and good practice, however, to leave an additional 10% to ensure the server receives a tip. Taxis do not receive gratuity, but if you feel you received exceptional service or had a specific situation in which the driver helped, feel free to reward the service.

Electricity in the Dominican Republic operates at 110 volts. This means that visitors coming from the United States and Canada will not need adapters, and can plug in directly into electric outlets.

Tourist zones and cities are equipped for modern medical care, with private hospitals, clinics, and qualified personnel for all age patients. For emergencies, including an ambulance, firefighters, and police, dial 911. You can also first contact the CESTUR office in your area–the Specialized Tourist Security Corp, trained and assigned specifically to assist visitors.

Yes! After the ceremony you will be guided to the cocktail area where we will prepare for dinner and dancing afterwards.

Unfortunately, we're on a tight budget and have limited space, so we simply can’t afford for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Plus ones are therefore by invitation only and we ask other guests to please not bring a plus one. Thank you so much for understanding!
