Have you always dreamed of a romantic beach wedding in the Dominican Republic? Are you looking for a dream location away from mass tourism, with white beaches and crystal-clear water? The wedding planners at DOMINICAN EXPERT are delighted to organize your unique wedding on Saona Island. A boat trip for you and your wedding party is already included, as the beautiful beaches of this idyllic Caribbean island are located approximately 45 minutes off the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic and are part of the Parque Nacional del Este.
Departure is at approximately 9:00 AM from your hotel in Punta Cana, La Romana, or Juan Dolio (hotels in Bayahibe offer direct access to the boat), allowing you to board our speedboat in Bayahibe by 10:00 AM. The approximately 45-minute journey takes you past the stunning, pristine beaches of the national park and the lagoons off the coast of Bayahibe. There, the turquoise water is only waist-deep and invites you to linger on sunny days. You and your wedding guests will then proceed to a secluded beach on Saona Island, near which lies only a small, typical Dominican village with a simple guesthouse. Here, you can spend the night right on the beach after the ceremony if you wish to enjoy the island to yourselves in the evening. Just a few meters further on you will discover a beautiful location for your ceremony: a pergola decorated with flowers according to your wishes, classic white chairs adorned with small flower arrangements and scattered flower petals on the way to the flower-decorated wedding altar.
If you are looking for photos and further inspiration, here are some suggestions!
After you and your guests have refreshed yourselves with a tropical cocktail, the officiant will be waiting for you. Soft guitar music will be playing in the background, and then the moment will have arrived to exchange your vows under tropical palm trees on a dream beach in the Caribbean.
After the ceremony, you'll be treated to appetizers and champagne for a toast with your guests. A photographer will be on hand throughout the entire event to capture all the beautiful moments of your wedding. A photo session on this perfect Caribbean beach with its breathtaking scenery is a must. Afterwards, the local restaurant will prepare a rustic lunch buffet for you and your guests. From freshly grilled fish, seafood, and lobster to chicken and delicious, typical Dominican side dishes, there will be plenty to choose from.
Before you leave Saona Island by speedboat around 16 pm, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beach and the peace and quiet with your guests.
If you decide to spend the night directly on the island, you can look forward to an incredibly romantic starry sky, the gentle sound of the sea, and the secluded beach right outside your guesthouse room.
We will also be happy to help you and your wedding party book your accommodations in one of our fantastic all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana or La Romana, and of course we will also organize the transfer from the hotel to the boat launch and from there to Saona Island, where your dream Caribbean wedding will take place.
