We absolutely loved having our wedding at PPR and would do it again in a heartbeat. It can be nerve racking planning a wedding so far away and not being able to discuss details in person, but our wedding coordinator, Patricia Rueda, was always so responsive and quelled any fears we may have had! We met with Patricia the day after we arrived for our wedding meeting and did an entire walk through. During our entire stay, she was always available to answer any questions. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we had the best time!! The wedding set up was perfect and better than we could have imagined. We were very low key and did not do anything too elaborate, so if you want to go that route, Patricia and the vendors will do a fabulous job, seeing how lovely they made ours. Overall, we are so glad we made the choice to host our wedding here and recommend it to anyone else looking to do a destination wedding.

I booked the package 1.5 years prior to the weeding. My weeding planner was Nicaury and she was awesome, she listened very carefully to all the requests we made and I'm glad we went to the hotel months prior to the wedding to have a one on one talk with Nicaury. The communication was find through email, but having that one on one was better. Prior to the wedding Nicaury was letting us know about the weather. We had the ceremony and the party at the beach and it was beutiful. The day of the wedding she was on point, we took some of the decoration and gave it to Nicaury and she did an outstanding job. I only have good things to say about her. Thank you Nicaury for making our day a very special one.

Writing this review gives me a REALITY CHECK! because I just want to keep reliving this planning era! When we began searching for venues, we knew instantly that @Kukua Punta Cana was THE one. It was truly a dream come true!! From the start, our vision was to create a joyful, unforgettable celebration with our loved ones, something unique that also honored my beautiful country and cultura as a proud Dominicana. Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. To this day, our guests can’t stop talking about how amazing everything was! PLANNER UNIQUELY RACHEL 1000/10 Rachel is my forever HOMEGIRL! Seriously, Kukua is beyond lucky to have her and so are we. She was our voice of reason throughout the entire process. My original vision started off “cutesy,” but when I found my true dream vision, Rachel embraced it wholeheartedly and ran with us every step of the way. Her organization, patience, and creativity made planning a destination wedding feel effortless. VENUE – KUKUA: 1500/10 The venue was absolute perfection! The weather blessed us with a sunny, beautiful (and hot!) day. As with any big event, there were tiny hiccups, but none of it took away from our magical day. The design and décor were breathtaking, truly a masterpiece. We wanted a “caterpillar-style” setup so all our guests could stay connected and mingle, plus a unique napkin for every place setting. I thought these details would be tough to pull off, but Mayte and her team nailed it. We wanted a colorful palette with colors coordinating the decor on each table, with unique florals and candles matching the vibe. During our tasting, Mayte surprised us with design elements that brought our vision to life so beautifully. On the wedding day, she even brought me downstairs to check final details because she genuinely wanted to ensure I was beyond happy. Every member of the Kukua team went above and beyond to make sure our guests were cared for and that service remained exceptional all night long. PHOTO & VIDEO – PHOTO CINE ART 13,000/10 When it came to photography and video, we wanted to tell a story. Milan and his team absolutely delivered! He was like a ninja all day haha! capturing moments from every angle without us even realizing it. The video team coordinated seamlessly with him to create stunning footage. His wife, Nata, was phenomenal with communication and organization. She even attempted to arrange for us to meet Milan before the big day, though we were able to because we had guest arriving for those days. The final results were everything we dreamed of and more. CONTENT CREATORS – @MAID OF CONTENT 10/10 We wanted to capture all the small, candid moments, the little details that make memories last a lifetime. Abigail and her team did exactly that. They were so discreet throughout the day, yet somehow managed to capture everything perfectly. All the content was available within 24 hours and she posted on my insta/facebook live for the day. She even made us a wedding folder in my insta bio and stored all our stories there 😊 HAIR & MAKEUP – OLGA MONTILLA (BRIDES BY MONTILLA): 10/10 Olga is a gem! I sent her inspiration photos beforehand, and even when I made last-minute changes on the day of, she adapted flawlessly. My makeup looked incredible and it still held up after our big pool jump! She was so patient and kind, even accommodating three additional girls just a week and a half before the wedding. My husband also booked a barber (Ronald) through Olga, and he loved his haircut, which says a lot because he’s very particular about his hair. TRAVEL AGENT – OUR DESTINATION WEDDINGS: 10/10 Carol and Carolisa were wonderful to work with! They were always responsive, detail-oriented, and patient with all our questions (and our guests). When we ran into a resort issue on arrival day, Carol immediately took our call and helped resolve it right away. Their professionalism made travel coordination for nearly 50 guests a breeze. STAY – PARADISUS PALMA REAL: 8/10 The resort was the perfect size for us and our guests to explore. We had some hiccups with an upgrade request at check-in, but once that was resolved, we absolutely loved our stay. The grounds were beautiful, the concierge was excellent, and the staff made coordination smooth for our 48 guests. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made the experience even better. We also enjoyed the spa and water therapy experience next door after the wedding, a perfect way to unwind. CRAZY HOUR: 1000X/10 Worth every single penny! This was one of the highlights of the night. Everyone got up and danced, it was such a joyful celebration of our cultura. The dancers kept us front and center for photos and videos, and the energy was just unreal. DJ: 8/10 We provided a Spotify playlist ahead of time, though I’m not sure it was fully used outside of our key songs, but the overall vibe was great. The DJ played a lot of Spanish hits that kept the dance floor full. I appreciated that he checked in before playing certain songs (especially the ones that required some serious twerking 😂). Once we gave the go-ahead, the party really took off! MC & OFFICIANT – ALEJANDRO: 10/10 Alejandro was fantastic! He officiated our ceremony and served as MC for the night, switching seamlessly between English and Spanish. His humor and charm helped calm our nerves and kept everyone engaged. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant, truly a highlight of the night! Our wedding at Kukua Punta Cana was everything we dreamed of and more. Every vendor went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. If you’re considering a destination wedding, trust the team... I PROMISE YOU, you’ll be in the best hands.

Certainly! Here’s a heartfelt review from the mother of the bride: A Perfect Wedding Day at Casa De Campo As the mother of the bride, I couldn't have imagined a more perfect setting for my daughter's special day than Casa De Campo. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by the beauty and elegance of the venue. The stunning surroundings and meticulously maintained grounds created a magical atmosphere that made every moment feel like a fairy tale. However, what truly set Casa de Campo apart was the incredible coordination provided by Deborath Leonardo. From our first meeting, Deborath was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making my daughter's dream wedding come true. Every detail, no matter how small, was handled with care and precision. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer creative solutions that made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the wedding day, Deborath and the entire staff at Casa De Campo exceeded our expectations. Everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without any worries. The ceremony was breathtaking, the reception was flawless, and every guest commented on how beautiful and well-organized everything was. I am incredibly grateful to Deborath and the team at Casa De Campo for their dedication and hard work. They turned my daughter's wedding day into a cherished memory that we will all treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Casa De Campo to any couple looking for a venue that offers not only beauty but also exceptional service and coordination. It's been two and a half years since my daughter's wedding, yet the memories are still as vivid and cherished as if they happened yesterday. Thank you for making this day truly unforgettable!

This resort was beautiful we had our wedding their and even though the rooms were so far from the dining and beach they had these awesome trains and golf carts that picked people up to take them where they needed to go. The scenery was absolutely amazing it was well manicured, even though food selection was limited for breakfast and lunch dinner was in abundance they had Thai, Dominican, Mexican, French. Seafood, American and a Buffet, Steak and Lobster Grill and Japanese which those had a $39 charge for. Overall our wedding was amazing there and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Everything turned out absolutely amazing despite a small language barrier. This resort went over and above to accommodate every detail in our vision. ERIDANIA my wedding coordinator stayed calm even with my anxiety. Top notch experience!!!! Their in house photography studio made special accommodation to fit our request for specific timeline. Junior and Alberto were the perfect team to get the most perfect images and the attention to every detail to get that perfection was obvious. The couples massage at the spa was just amazing, every night there were activities and shows that made us feel like we in another world. This Resort and everything we experienced was EXCELLENCE.

This was the first time my husband an I had visited an all inclusive resort. We stayed at Excellence El Carmen from 08/28 - 09/04. Their facility is beautiful and their staff is excellent. We have already decided that we want to return as soon as possible.

Recently, I organized a wedding party with Boat Trips Punta for 120 of our guests, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the initial planning stages to the actual event, the team was incredibly professional and accommodating. The spacious catamaran was the perfect venue, offering luxury and comfort for everyone on board. The crew made sure everything ran seamlessly, and the catering was exceptional, with our guests continually complimenting the food and drinks. The ambiance, coupled with the stunning views of Punta Cana, made it a magical setting for our special day. I can't thank Boat Trips Punta enough for making our wedding party such a success. It truly was a day we, and our guests, will cherish forever. Highly recommend!

We truly cannot recommend Natalia and huracan cafe enough. From the very first meeting, she was organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. Every detail, big and small, was handled with care and professionalism, which allowed us to actually enjoy the planning process and, most importantly, our wedding day. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. Any potential issues were handled efficiently by her team, and we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. Our decor was everything we wanted and our wedding at Huracan will be forever remembered by both us and our guests. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, calm under pressure, and truly passionate about what they do, Natalia is the wedding planner you want. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication.

The Villa was amazing. We had a beautiful room with a king-size bed that was super comfortable. Every morning we had a delicious breakfast and we also had several dinners at the Villa that were really good—everything was catered by the resort staff who did a great job. When we went to the beach, there was a perfect setup. You could choose to sit in the sun if you wanted to tan, or relax in the shade if you needed a break. The beach staff were super friendly and always made sure we had what we needed. Every night, there was entertainment, which made things fun and gave us something to look forward to. The resort also had some wonderful restaurants with all kinds of food, so no matter what you were in the mood for, they had something for you.
