The cost per person for a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic at a high-end resort can vary depending on a number of factors, including the time of year, the resort you choose, the size of your wedding party, and the specific amenities and services you include. However, you can expect to pay around $300-$500 per person for a basic wedding package at a high-end resort in the Dominican Republic. This will typically include the following:

  • Ceremony and reception space
  • Food and drinks for guests
  • Wedding cake
  • Basic décor
  • Wedding coordinator

If you want to add any extras, such as a photographer, videographer, DJ, or live music, you can expect to pay an additional $100-$300 per person. And if you’re planning a larger wedding with more than 100 guests, you can expect the cost per person to be slightly lower.

Here are some examples of wedding packages from popular high-end resorts in the Dominican Republic:

  • Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana: Starting at $350 per person for a basic package
  • Eden Roc Cap Cana: Starting at $400 per person for a basic package
  • Tortuga Bay Punta Cana: Starting at $450 per person for a basic package

It’s important to note that these are just starting prices, and the actual cost of your wedding will vary depending on your specific needs and budget. Be sure to contact the resort directly to get a quote for your specific wedding date and guest list.

Additional costs to consider:

  • Airfare and lodging for guests
  • Transportation to and from the resort
  • Wedding attire
  • Wedding favors
  • Marriage license and other legal fees
  • Tips for vendors

Tips for saving money on your destination wedding:

  • Get married during the off-season (May-October)
  • Choose a smaller resort or boutique hotel
  • Have your wedding during the day (ceremonies and receptions at night are typically more expensive)
  • Limit the number of guests you invite
  • Ask your guests to contribute to the cost of their travel and lodging
  • DIY some of the wedding planning and décor

With careful planning, it’s possible to have a beautiful and affordable destination wedding in the Dominican Republic.
