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

Best destination group ever!!

Working with Barefoot Bridals was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding trip. Sharon and her team helped coordinate everything from booking the resort to organizing our room blocks, and they made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure both we and our guests had the best experience possible.

What truly stood out was their communication and responsiveness. No matter how many questions came up from us or our guests, Sharon and her team were always just a phone call or email away. They stayed on top of every detail and continued checking in with us all the way up until right before the trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing we had such a reliable and supportive team helping us every step of the way.

I would recommend Sharon and the Barefoot Bridals team 1000 times over to any couple planning a destination wedding or group trip. Their dedication, organization, and level of care exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you, Sharon, for everything you did to make our wedding experience so special and unforgettable!

10/10 For Destination Wedding Support!

If you are debating working with a travel agent for your destination wedding, I can wholeheartedly recommend it, and Barefoot Bridal is an exceptional choice! I organize group events for a living, so have very high standards and Sharon and her team not only met, but exceeded them! I was able to entrust them with all of the travel planning details for all of our guests, which made things so much easier on end, and freed up so much of my time and mental energy!

From my very first call with Sharon, owner of Barefoot Bridal, I felt heard and supported. She and her team provided a level of service unmatched by the other destination wedding travel agents I had come across: they managed the entire communication and booking process with the Wedding Department of our selected resort, set up a dedicated booking site for all of our wedding guests, and managed all reservations inclusive of resort bookings AND transportation.

During the planning process I learned that this level of support is not standard in the travel agent world - many other brides at my resort had to spend a lot of time and energy helping guests with airport transportation, room bookings, and reservation issues.

I on the other hand, never once had to manage, or even communicate with guests about the details of their stay, and on more than one occasion, Barefoot Bridal helped our guests modify reservations in one case even after our group code had expired (truly going above and beyond to work with the resort to help my guests with the needed arrangements). I had ZERO stress when it came to my guest's experience leading up to the wedding because I knew everyone was being so well taken care of!

The Barefoot Bridal team is also extremely responsive and professional. They know the industry well and Sharon was able to advise me on several questions I had both during the resort selection process and also the wedding planning process.

I highly highly recommend hiring Barefoot Bridal for your destination wedding. It is a free service (you pay a deposit upfront that is fully refunded once the wedding occurs) that will make your wedding planning process so much easier and smoother leading up to the wedding itself, and even once you have arrived at your resort!

Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Barefoot Bridal—they were truly lifesavers. I initially booked with another travel agency but wasn’t happy with their policies or costs. After being referred by another bride getting married at the same resort, I switched to Barefoot Bridal, and it was the best decision I made. My consultant, Diana, was kind, patient, and extremely professional. She took the time to explain everything in detail and was always available. The team was very accommodating and went above and beyond to honor my requests. They even credited the deposit I lost with my previous agency so I could use it toward my room reservation, which made the transition seamless. Their customer service was awesome for both me and my guests, and they kept everyone informed throughout the process. The best part is it costs nothing to use them (they receive their commissions from the resort) Although there was an issue with airport transfers upon my arrival in the Dominican Republic, it was resolved immediately. They apologized, refunded us, and included thoughtful gifts for the inconvenience. While no experience is ever perfect, I was very happy overall and would absolutely recommend them. Book with Barefoot Bridal and ask for Diana!!!!

Don't be dumb, use Barefoot Bridal

Diana went above and beyond. I was really nervous to plan a destination wedding and she was able to reach out to hotels and get quotes and make that entire process extremely smooth. I really recommend working with them. It took the hotel hassle off of my plate.

The BEST Wedding Travel Agency!

We LOVED working with Barefoot Bridal! We had our wedding in February 2026 at Secrets Playa Mujeres, and Barefoot Bridal helped make it all happen. As a destination bride, it can be difficult to know which resorts to consider and how to manage all the details needed to get your guests there. Barefoot Bridal made me feel like my destination wedding dreams were truly possible and supported us every step of the way.
Once they helped us choose our wedding location, they ensured all travel details were coordinated from start to finish. They answered mine and my guests’ questions promptly and were extremely helpful in coordinating shuttles and room accommodations. I HIGHLY recommend working with Barefoot Bridal for your destination wedding—it’s an absolute must!

Made planning a destination wedding even easier!

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but working with Barefoot Bridal made the entire travel side of things so much easier for us and for our guests.

Before choosing them, I spoke with several different travel agent companies while trying to figure out the best fit for our wedding. Barefoot Bridal definitely stood out right away. They were more responsive, more organized, and really seemed to understand what couples need when planning a destination wedding.

Our agent, Diana, was absolutely incredible to work with. She was always quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable, and so patient with all of the questions that come up when you're coordinating travel for a large group. Having Diana handle everything gave me so much peace of mind throughout the planning process.

Barefoot Bridal created a simple booking website for our guests, which made reserving rooms and making payments really easy. The payment plan option was also a huge plus and made the trip much more manageable for many of our guests. Diana also helped coordinate airport transfers for everyone, which made arrivals and departures at the resort smooth and stress-free.

Another huge benefit is that Barefoot Bridal’s services were completely free for us as the couple. Diana also helped us qualify for both the resort incentives and additional Barefoot Bridal incentives, which helped offset the cost of our own room.

I’m so grateful we chose Barefoot Bridal, and especially grateful that we had Diana helping us through the process. I would absolutely recommend Barefoot Bridal to any couple planning a destination wedding.

Barefoot Bridal is AMAZING

Barefoot Bridal is an absolutely amazing company and I am so happy that I was connected to them for my destination wedding! Our wedding was during peak travel season in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, when many resorts weren't doing room blocks. However, Sharon and her team at Barefoot Bridal made it all possible, secured a room block at our preferred location, coordinated conversations about additional accommodation recommendations, guest travel, rehearsal dinner, and truly went above and beyond!

10/10 for barefoot bridal!!

I can’t recommend Barefoot Bridal enough! They did an incredible job coordinating our destination wedding at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun. Every question was answered promptly and professionally, and they assisted all of our guests with every single need.

Special shoutout to Mauricio—he’s the best—and to Sharon, the owner. They are truly amazing people. Transportation to the resort was seamless and even arranged in luxury vehicles. We received so many compliments on how professional our travel agent was, and I will absolutely be recommending Barefoot Bridal to all future destination brides. Thank you, Barefoot!!
