FAQs

Check the booking website - room estimates are posted there. Submit a quote to request the most up to date price via the Book Here link. To provide an accurate quote, our travel agent will need to know how many people are sharing your room, and how many nights you are staying. For guests, attending a destination wedding can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 pp depending on the destination, departure city and length of stay. This cost estimate includes flights, airport transfers in Punta Cana as well as room + food + drinks for 3 nights/4 days.
Q: How do I know what my grand total will be?
A: The travel agent includes room estimates on their booking website. The estimated prices are "per person, per night." You'll need to decide what room category and how many nights to determine what your grand total will be. They do not have a "cart" system to total it up for you since there are so many variables. But, the estimated rates are easy to calculate if you follow the example we have on the booking website. Again, the travel agent can provide the final price once you submit a quote via the book here link.Q: If I don't drink or I have a special diet, can I get a lower price?
A: No, the resort is fully all-inclusive, all the time. -
There are a few different kinds of insurance policies that are available to wedding groups. The booking website will outline the insurance that is available for our group. Cancel Insurance usually allows you to cancel up to the day before your trip and get either a full or partial refund, but offers no during travel protection. Cancel insurance must be purchased at the time of deposit only, and is only valid for US residents. Travel Insurance policies usually have during travel coverage, but only allow you to cancel and get a refund for covered reasons by filing a claim.

Flights are not included with the room block. If we did group air, all guests would need to be on the same plane, and we know that is nearly impossible! So, we leave flights off so guests can book what they prefer, and even use points, miles, or credits.
Usually the best time to book a flight is 5-7 months prior to travel when all airlines have their schedules available. We recommend using Google Flights to research fares or set up fare alerts, but then book directly with the airline you're flying with. Fares are the same everywhere, but you'll get much better service working with the airline instead of sites like Orbitz or Expedia. Remember to also check www.Southwest.com as their flights only show up on their own website.
Tip! Before booking your flight, make sure that your room reservation and dates have been confirmed. Then double check that both your room dates and your flight dates match!

It has already passed.
If you originally couldn’t make it, but your plans have since changed, please reach out to the bride & groom. They will do their best to work with you.

We totally understand!. Not everyone will be able to attend our wedding, and that's okay. Please just let us know.

You'll want to bring a bundle of 1's and 5's with for tipping around the resort. Gratuities are technically included with your travel package, but based on our travel experience, you'll want to tip something to the bartenders and waiters taking care of you. Be prepared by bringing small bills with so you have them if you choose to tip. The shuttle driver is not a hotel employee and will expect a tip, as will the airport employees. Tours, excursions and spa treatments are not included. You can pay with cash or credit card for these at the hotel. Again, US cash for tips is fine. Insurance is not included, but it is optional when booking your trip. All liquor is usually included unless you order a full bottle of a specific liquor.

As much as we would love to invite absolutely everyone in our lives, we were only able to invite a limited number of little ones. If that was the case, they were named on the invite, or the entire “family” was invited!

We chose an all-inclusive destination because we want everyone to experience the joy we experience on vacation there. Because of this desire, we hope all of our guests will book into the room block and stay at the resort along with us and the rest of our group. That said, there are rare circumstances when a guest just cannot stay at the wedding resort. Guests staying at a different resort are called "outside guests." Majestic Mirage charges per person for outside guests to enter the resort for the wedding events only (strict entry and departure times are followed.) They will also limit the number of outside guests allowed. Before you book, check with us to see if you would be allowed to attend the wedding events.

Our partners at Romance Travel have worked hard to get you the best price. Our group rates were the lowest rates available when we signed our contract. If they weren't, we wouldn't have signed. Resorts occasionally run sales that are not available for groups. The resort needs to balance group rates with all the perks and amenities the group is earning, so our group rates are not always guaranteed to be the lowest. Our goal is to have all guests book into our room block so we fulfill our contract and ensure the smoothest experience for our guests. Pricematched rooms cannot be booked into the room block. We appreciate your understanding.

In a phrase? Tropical Cocktail.
What does that mean? Do you have a floral print sundress? Perfect. Breezy linen jumpsuit? Go for it. Lightweight button-down and khakis? Wear ‘em.
Still confused? That’s okay, the bride has put together a helpful Pinterest Board to help spark your inspiration.

Since you're attending our destination wedding, you absolutely SHOULD NOT bring a wedding gift. Your presence is enough of a present.
For those that still feel like they want to do something (Seriously, don’t), our travel agent says to ask them about adding a tour or a room upgrade as a gift from you. This can often easily be done.
And if for some unknown reason you still want to give us a monetary or boxed gift, you can find our registry here.

One key etiquette tip for guests at destination weddings is to avoid involving the couple in travel or room issues. If your name is spelled wrong on your documents or you missed your flight, call the Travel Agent. Likewise, if your room isn’t ready or the view isn’t perfect, don’t complain to the couple or other guests. This just creates a frenzy. There is no need to add extra stress to the couple. If you have a problem, call or email the Travel Agent. Our travel partners have 24/7 help desks. Their phone number is listed on your travel documents. If you have issues with the hotel, we need to solve them while you are there. Very little can be done after you check out. Let the Travel Agent help. Not everything goes as planned, just be flexible and polite.
