Woohoo! Pack your bags, we're going to the Dominican Republic! We're very excited to have you join us for our wedding weekend. 

To make things simple, we've hired a travel agent team to help our guests arrange accommodation. We've chosen to stay at Lopesan Costa Bavaro and would encourage you to stay with us! 

Many details are below, but here are a few IMPORTANT things to note: 



1. Only have 1 person from your party make a room reservation using the form below. Don't have 2 people staying in the same room fill out the form. 



2. We recommend groups of 2 reserve rooms for optimal comfort, but rooms can accommodate up to 3 guests. We've quoted prices for groups of 2 below, but having 3 guests will bring the price per person down nominally. 



3. Transportation to and from the airport is included in your booking price. No need to arrange a taxi when arriving or leaving Punta Cana (PUJ). 



4. To guarantee availability and discounted pricing, please put down your retainer with our agent as soon as possible!

HOW TO BOOK YOUR ROOM?

GO TO "ACCOMMODATIONS" SECTION AND CLICK ON THE ROOM YOU WANT TO BOOK!

Why book with Destination Weddings Expert, LLC?

While DWE can offer competitive prices, we also offer personalized service. Anytime you have a question or concern, you will be able to contact us directly and will not have to go through a call center and speak with a different person each time.

We have a 24-hour during-travel emergency line available for our clients if there should be any flight delays or problems at the resort while traveling. Again, instead of reaching a call center, you will reach one of our in-house travel agents, who will do what they can to resolve your problem.

Most importantly, our strong relationship with the resort helps to ensure that members of the Brooks - Welch Wedding Party that are booked through us will not be "walked" and placed in another resort due to overbooking.

Should you have any additional questions please contact our dedicated travel agents via email Hello@destinationweddingsexpert.com.

Please allow up to 48 hours for an email response.
