Having a destination wedding in Samana is the best kept secret in the Caribbean, mostly because it used to be difficult for North Americans to get there. Not any longer! The new highway from Santo Domingo is now open, making the transfer less than two hours. With numerous daily flights from the US into Santo Domingo we can easily get your wedding party to the once forbidden resorts for your wedding in Samana.

We can arrange to have you picked up at the airport and chaufeured to the resort. If the whole group arrives together we can arrange for a luxury bus and a tour guide to be waiting for you at the airport. Samana is still a fair distance from the airport, but is definitely worth the trip.

The backdrops to Samana weddings are breath-taking; there really is no other destination wedding location like it in the Caribbean. Most of the hotels in the area are situated on bluffs above the beach and the altitude provides for amazing photo ops. One of our Samana hotels even has a glass elevator to bring guests down to the beach and a restaurant for the wedding reception that is perched on the cliff overlooking the ocean – a truly magical location.


Samana is renowned as an ecotourism destination. Your guests will certainly not get bored at your wedding in Samana. Excursions include: whale watching, fishing, mountain climbing, jungle treks, bouldering, biking and boat cruises. There is even a national park in the area. For a full review of the wonders of the Samana area see our Samana excursions page on All Inclusive Resorts.

Samana Wedding Resorts

Every hotel in Samana claims to be a Samana weddings resorts, but the reality is that not many of the hotels do a very good job. Destination weddings are very new in this part of the Dominican Republic and the Bahia Principe chain of hotels have brought in coordinators from their other hotels and have solidified their reputation as the premiere chain of hotels when it comes to destination weddings.


You definitely don’t want to be a hotel’s dress rehearsal for their foray into destination weddings. We feel confident sending our clients off to Bahia Principe hotels because we know that they will carry out our planning and make your dreams of the perfect wedding in paradise a reality.


Bahia Principe has 4 hotels in the area: Cayo Levantado, Cayacoa, Samana (Royal Golden) and El Portillo. While all of them do a wonderful job of weddings we particularly love the locations of Cayo Levantado and Cayacoa and plan most of our Samana weddings at these hotels.

Free Samana Wedddings

No matter what you see publicized on tour operators’ websites, there are NO free Samana weddings. On average, wedding packages start at around $1700 and include the ceremony, reception and legal fees. Samana wedding packages are usually for a set number of guests and there are usually supplements for additional guests.

All Inclusive Weddings negotiates packages with the hotel for our clients, guaranteeing you the best price. Keep in mind that all wedding packages are paid directly to the hotel during your stay.
