Getting married in Punta Cana was the best decision I (Sharon) made. Not only did I have a wonderful, unique destination wedding on a gorgeous white sand beach with glittering turquoise waters as the backdrop, but I had so many days of memories made with my favorite family and friends. I might be biased, but I genuinely believe a destination wedding is the best way to get married. The only negative thing about the process was my travel agent. She could have been more communicative, made errors on my guests' bookings, and had to do all the work for my 90 invitees. That's why, when I returned from my wedding, I combined my love for weddings and travel with my desire to not let another bride have the same experience I did and created Barefoot Bridal.

We have serviced hundreds of groups and thousands of guests, traveled and stayed at or toured countless properties - our experience is unmatched. It won't cost you or your guests anything to use our services; we provide so much assistance in return. From building your unique website to creating networking links for hotel discounts, we have your back from day one.

We're looking forward to helping make your dream destination wedding in paradise a reality at Barefoot Bridal!

Must book for destination wedding

If I could give Barefoot more than 5 starts I would!! I seriously wouldn’t have wanted any other travel agents to help me coordinate travel for my destination wedding of 100 guests rather than them. They are extremely responsive, helpful, insightful, flexible, and all around amazing people! Planning a wedding can feel like a rollercoaster and choosing people you can trust is a must! I had no clue who to go to and felt very overwhelmed at the start of the planning process but I’m so glad I trusted my gut and put my groups travel coordination in their hands! My agent was Diana and she was soo sweet and was always just a text away! She helped me from choosing a resort to making the millions of changes and adjustments we needed throughout the process. She even helped talk me through and gave me support about a last minute venue change! Do yourself a favor and trust them for your destination wedding! You won’t regret it! Had the wedding of my dreams

Punta Cana Wedding Planning

Sharon and team were amazing from start to finish. Starting with helping us pick our hotel, they worked within our budget and even were helpful when I changed my mind last moment to switch to another resort before committing. They helped us explore on and off-resort options, we settled on off-resort at Jellyfish, where Sharon was a huge help in calming my nerves as the date came closer. The team also helped us with getting our Welcome party organized, as well as planning a boat outing for our entire guest list the day after. There was a small hiccup with the boat vendor and they continued to be in contact with me weeks after the wedding to make sure it was handled and I was happy with the outcome. There is no way I could have planned all of this on my own, and it was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders to know I had such a lovely team of ladies there whenever I had a question or needed talking off a ledge planning everything sight unseen. Highly recommend if you are looking to do a destination wedding.

Destination Wedding Planning!

When my fiancé and I began planning our wedding, we quickly realized how expensive it would be to get married in Massachusetts, so we decided to explore destination wedding options. I found Barefoot Bridal on TikTok and reached out right away. Diana responded so quickly with helpful information and scheduled a time for us to connect.

From our very first conversation, I knew Diana would be wonderful to work with. I had very little knowledge about destination weddings, but I was able to share a few ideas about locations and the type of resort we envisioned. Diana provided us with numerous options, and I continued asking her to look into even more so we could be sure we were considering everything. She was always patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful.

We ultimately booked our destination, and even though our wedding is not until November 2028, Diana has already been amazing. She had our contract finalized and our travel website set up within just a few days.

Knowing that Diana will be there to guide and support us throughout the planning process gives me so much peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend Barefoot Bridal!

Truly the best!! 🤍

Our experience with Barefoot Bridal has been absolutely wonderful so far, and we especially want to recognize our destination wedding specialist, Natasia. 🤍

Planning a destination wedding comes with so many moving parts, and there have definitely been moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. At one point, I was seriously considering canceling because I was so stressed and worried that we wouldn’t be able to meet our room block requirements. I remember feeling like everything was becoming too much.

Natasia was there to listen. She never made me feel like I was just another bride or another booking. She took the time to hear me out, reassure me, and help me work through my concerns.

One of the things I appreciate most about Natasia is that she never just says “no.” Whenever I have a question or ask if something is possible, her response is always something along the lines of, “Let me find out what we can do.” She takes the time to look into things and see if there are options or solutions instead of immediately shutting something down. As a bride, that means so much!

She also responds so quickly and has always been just a phone call away whenever I needed her. Whether I had a question, concern, or was simply having one of those “I’m freaking out” wedding-planning moments, I knew I could reach out to her.

Her patience, responsiveness, and willingness to advocate for us have made such a difference in our planning experience. She has genuinely made me feel like someone is in our corner, especially during the moments when wedding planning felt overwhelming.

We’re so excited for our Cancun wedding and can’t wait to see everything come together! 🌴💍✨

Best decision ever!

Using barefoot bridal is one of the best wedding decisions I’ve made so far! I am very type A bride and I tend to take on everything myself, but being able to trust Barefoot bridal with travel accommodations for myself and my guests have taken a huge work load and stress off of my back. All of my guests inquiries get directed right to barefoot bridal and I’m left to simply enjoy the fun details of wedding planning rather than travel logistics!

WORTH IT, do not second guess.

From the very beginning, Barefoot Bridal made our destination wedding planning experience feel effortless. Planning a wedding from afar can be overwhelming, but their team was organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive every step of the way.

Sharon answered every question we had with patience and professionalism, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and truly made us feel like we were their priority. Sharon's attention to detail and dedication gave us so much peace of mind, allowing us to actually enjoy the planning process instead of stressing over it.

Our guests cannot get over how easy and simple it was to book our room block.

If you're considering a destination wedding, I cannot recommend Barefoot Bridal enough. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we are so grateful for all of their hard work. Thank you for making this journey so memorable—we couldn't have asked for a better team to help bring our dream wedding to life!

Best Decision!

We are so happy that we decided to use barefoot bridal for our destination wedding planning. From the beginning everyone was so easy. Our wedding specialist was Andrea and she was so helpful. We told her exactly what we wanted in a resort and she gave us all our options. When it came to managing our guests, barefoot bridal did everything! Their response time was very quick and they were very helpful for our guests. The website they create is amazing and very easy to navigate. I would 100% recommend Barefoot Bridal to any bride considering a destination wedding!

Destination Planning Experts!

Finding the right venue online is overwhelming because resort websites show plenty of photos but very little actual wedding info. I was completely stuck trying to compare hidden costs and confusing packages on my own until I found Barefoot Bridal. They completely turned our planning experience around.

They kicked things off with an incredible intake call to understand our vision. They took total charge of the process right away, handling all the initial outreach to various resorts and filtering through the options for us. Their expert advice during our search was invaluable, and they ultimately guided us to choose Secrets/Dreams Playa Esmeralda for our May 2026 wedding.

During that initial call, they walked us through the entire room block and contract process. One of the biggest reliefs was how they handled the contract logistics—specifically ensuring that any unused rooms would be handed back to the resort in a timely manner. Having that financial stress completely off my plate was priceless.

Barefoot Bridal also saved us a ton of money by securing amazing incentives for our room blocks and flights. When you are planning a destination wedding, every single bit helps, and they maximize your budget. They communicate directly with the resorts to get upfront, honest pricing breakdowns so you aren't surprised by hidden fees later for things like DJs or decor. I cannot recommend them enough if you want a seamless, stress-free planning experience!
