C E R E M O N Y T YP E S – D OMI N I C A N R E P U B L I C

If a request is made for a specific religious affiliation or for a civil ceremony, this will be confirmed based on the

availability of the respective Minister or Judge and, the laws of the destination. Each religious affiliation determines

its own fees for services provided and a Resort administration fee also applies - those costs will be passed onto the

couple requesting the service. Therefore, it is extremely important you re-confirm the type of ceremony you

desire, as we must reserve the appropriate officiate for your wedding ceremony.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

There is no residency requirement or waiting period for getting married in the Dominican Republic and this

applies to all ceremony styles. However, we do suggest that couples arrive at least 2 days prior to the wedding

date.

SYMBOLIC CEREMONY is included in all of our packages and, is the most popular ceremony. It is performed by

a non- denominational marriage officer and is almost the same wording as the civil ceremony but, it is not

a legally binding contract. This is far less complicated than legally binding ceremonies, as you do not have to

organize, translate or bring legal documents to the Dominican Republic and allows you to choose from a variety

of ceremonies to ensure that your vows are spoken in your personal style. If you want to be married legally, this can

be done in your home state/country before your stay with us. The symbolic ceremony is performed in Spanish and

can be translated by a member of the Romance Team. Note: A copy of the marriage certificate/license must

be brought to the resort and presented to the on-site Coordinator, during the wedding meeting.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC USD 500 plus tax, when selecting an a-la-carte event

CHRISTIAN BLESSING is conducted by the local Evangelical Pastor in Punta Cana. The Ceremony lasts approximately

20 minutes and also requires a pre-wedding meeting with the Pastor to ensure you both understand the meaning

of a Christian marriage. Please remember this is not a legally binding contract and paperwork must be

completed in your home state/country before your stay with us and a copy of the marriage license brought

with you to your destination. Christian blessing ceremony is performed in Spanish or English. Note: A copy of the

marriage certificate/license must be brought to the resort and presented to the on-site Coordinator, during the

wedding meeting.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC USD 605 plus tax

CATHOLIC WEDDING is performed by the local Catholic Priest and, is a legally binding ceremony. Because this is a

religious ceremony, Catholic weddings must be held under roof, in the Garden or Beach gazebo, a Ballroom or

covered terrace. There is also a small church nearby and transportation to/from the church will incur an

additional cost. It is the client’s responsibility to complete all necessary pre-wedding paper work and comply

with all fees associated with this process. Please ensure you carefully review and follow through with the instructions

provided under separate cover, for the Jesus Maestro Parish. The Catholic wedding ceremony is performed in

Spanish and can be translated by a member of the Romance Team.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC USD 1,000 plus tax

CIVIL WEDDING also known as a legal wedding is a true, legally binding ceremony and is performed by the Justice

of the Peace. This province of the Dominican Republic only has one Justice of the Peace, so securing dates can

be difficult and sometimes we cannot confirm your meeting date/time with the Justice until a week before your

wedding date. In addition, because of limited availability, the Justice of the Peace may not perform the actual

ceremony, however, will most definitely review and sign all legal documents to formalize the marriage. The marriage

certificate will be sent by courier to the couple’s last known mailing address {this can take up to 6 months}.

The Judge is an outside service provided by the Local Government and Paradisus Resorts will not be held

responsible for any delay or alteration. It is the couple’s responsibility to have all documentation ready no later

than 3 months prior to the wedding date. The civil wedding ceremony is performed in Spanish and can be

translated by a member of the Romance Team.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC USD 1,105 plus tax – includes a USD 250 non-refundable fee

For assistance with legal documents, may we suggest you contact: www.wedo.com.do. Please be aware there

are fees associated with We Do.

Legal/Civil and Catholic ceremonies cannot be performed on Sundays or major holidays.

Renewal of vows can be performed by a non-denominational marriage officer or the local Evangelical Pastor.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

For symbolic, Christian and strictly religious Catholic wedding ceremonies, there is no residency requirement or

waiting period for getting married in Mexico. However, we do suggest that couples arrive at least 2 days prior to

the wedding date.

For legal/civil weddings, there is a mandatory residency period of 3 business days {excluding Saturday, Sunday and

Mexican holidays} and this applies to the Wedding Couple and 4 witnesses.

SYMBOLIC CEREMONY is included in all of our packages and, is the most popular ceremony. It is performed by

a non- denominational marriage officer and is almost the same wording as the civil ceremony but, it is not

a legally binding contract. This is far less complicated than legally binding ceremonies, as you do not have to

of ceremonies to ensure that your vows are spoken in your personal style. If you want to be married legally, this can

be done in your home state/country before your stay with us. The symbolic ceremony is performed in English or

Spanish.

MEXICO USD 540 plus tax, when selecting an a-la-carte event

CHRISTIAN BLESSING is conducted by the local Pastor and lasts approximately 20 minutes and also requires a pre-

wedding meeting with the Pastor to ensure you both understand the meaning of a Christian marriage. Please

remember this is not a legally binding contract and paperwork must be completed in your home state/country

before your stay with us and a copy of the marriage license brought with you to your destination. Christian blessing

ceremony is performed in Spanish or English.

MEXICO USD 540 plus tax

CATHOLIC WEDDING is performed by the local Catholic Priest and, is a legally binding ceremony. This type of

ceremony can be performed on a strictly religious basis or in conjunction with a legal ceremony. Because this

is a religious ceremony, Catholic weddings must be held in the local Catholic Church. It is the client’s responsibility

to complete all necessary pre- wedding paper work and comply with all fees associated with this process. Please

ensure you carefully review and follow through with all requirements. For a Catholic wedding, the Wedding

symbolism). This ceremony is not legally binding. The Mayan wedding is considered a link to the cosmos and the

Ritual is based in the Maya's connection with the universe and their gods. The ceremony brings the couple to the

four cardinal points and the four elements in a symbolic ritual that connects the universe in a way to strengthen

and bless the couple’s union. The ceremony is performed at the beach and lasts approximately 45 minutes.
