Mexico

Year after year, our couples find that Riviera Maya, Mexico offers the best resorts and the best value for destination weddings. Despite it's unfair bad press lately, Mexico is by far the top wedding destination for US-based brides. Over 35 million people visited Mexico in 2016, putting Mexico in the top 10 visited country in the world. Couples will find that flights to Mexico are numerous, easy and reasonable when compared to most Caribbean destinations. This leaves more room in the guest budget for a higher quality resort. With 5 star properties, world class golf courses, World Heritage sites, genuine hospitality and hundreds of miles of pristine beaches, Mexico is often the best choice for destination weddings.
Knowing this, you can expect us to discuss Mexico as a possible destination with you. It is not only the top destination choice for our brides, it is the top destination choice for our personal travels as well. Time and again, we pack up our families and travel to Mexico for work as well as pleasure. We know and love this destination, and highly recommend it.

Dominican Republic

A Dominican Republic wedding can fulfill every dream scenario, from lavish affairs to simple and romantic ceremonies. The island's charming historical quality and friendly people beckon you to choose a Dominican Republic wedding, with its inherently romantic atmosphere and stunning natural beauty. The Dominican is all about the beach.

For a legal wedding, couples need to have their legal documents translated into Spanish. We recommend wedo.com.do. Because of this requirement and the costs associated with it, the Dominican Republic is the most difficult destination to have a legal wedding.
