This is the second edition of our series on how to get a free or free wedding with the purchase of a honeymoon package. In our previous article, we discussed free weddings in the Caribbean — in particular, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Saint Lucia, and Antigua.
Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort: The Holiday Inn Sunspree resort in Aruba is one of the most inexpensive of all the resorts we surveyed. Your free wedding package includes a professional planner, themed decorations on the island and a small wedding cake. You will also receive a free bouquet, a boutonniere, and a candlelit dinner for two. Sunspree provides a non-confessional pastor who will serve as an officer, marriage certificate and some legal fees. Minimum stay of seven nights in the "improved room" overlooking the ocean. Prices start at about $ 290 per night.
Excellence Resort Punta Cana : Excellence Resort and Spa in Punta Cana. Dominican Republic is just breathing. Be sore beautifully and the water is a sight. Excellence is an all-inclusive luxury resort with a fancy colonial style. For a free wedding ceremony, you need at least seven nights in a junior suite or an ocean view room. Room rates start at $ 475 per night. With the free wedding package, Excellence Resort will provide an officer, wedding coordinator, wedding gown and tuxedo training (ie any ironing or pressing) and your choice in the form of a gazebo or beach for your real ceremony. There is also the free inclusion of floral elements, wedding cake, horse-drawn carriage and late departure for the bride and groom. As in most other resorts, you will need to pay extra for photo and video services, as well as for any legal fees and for your marriage license.
Western resorts of the Dominican Republic or Aruba : Occidental has several resorts in the Dominican Republic, Aruba and Mexico. The Occidental Grand Hotel offers a free wedding package when you book a minimum stay of seven nights at the Royal Club Master Suite. Their price starts at $ 730 and is at the top of the list in terms of price for all the resorts we reviewed. Their package includes the usual on-site wedding consultant, fresh flower arrangements, officer (judges) and paperwork services, as well as cake and breakfast in bed the next morning. Photo and video services, of course, in addition.
If we recommended one of the three, this would definitely be Excellence Resorts, their price would be reasonable enough, and the grounds would be breathtaking!
