Please see our announcements and updates below for information on how the Covid-19 situation is affecting us and how we plan to handle it.
Save the Date: June 19th, 2021
01/22/2021:
We're starting to prepare our plans to have our ceremony in DR (as originally planned). Since we had a small private ceremony in our home town, we were unable to celebrate with the majority of our friends and family. Therefore, we'd be honored if you would all join us in the Dominican Republic as we renew our vowels in your presence.
We'll be arriving in DR on June 16th, 2021 and staying until June 23rd, 2021. Our ceremony will occur on June 19th, 2021 and our barbecue party at our villa will occur on June 20th, 2021 (which is our actual anniversary). We'd love to have you join us for both of those dates. You can choose whatever timeframe you wish to stay. Just let us know so we can assistance with any accommodations and arrangements.
There have been some minor changes at the resort due to government mandates and Covid-19 treatment. The following is a list of things that have changed since last year:
The resort is now charging a higher price for mandatory service fee since they are using extra treatments above and beyond to keep Covid-19 out of our vacation. Additionally, they are routinely performing these tasks and measures, much more frequently than previously. Where this fee was normally $7 Per Person / Per Night (PP/PN) for non-members (guest not staying in our accommodation), it is now ranging between $21 - $30 PP/PN, depending on your accommodation. Even though we're members, we actually have to pay a mandatory service fee as well. NOTE THAT THIS FEE IS IN ADDITION TO YOUR NORMAL ALL-INCLUSIVE FOOD/DRINK PP/PN. The following is the exact mandatory service fee based on the specific accommodation:
Tropical, Crown and Residence Suites, and Cofresi Palm - US$21 per person per night
Sunrise Suites, Presidential Suites, and Royal Suites - US$23 per person per night
Villas - US$30 per person per night
Currently, accommodations for Cofresi Spa Suites and Studios are currently not being accepted until further notice. This is all part of the mandate by the government. My guess is that these suites offer opportunity for Covid-19 to show its presence, and would make it dangerous for guests. Therefore, if you originally booked an accommodation in one of these suites, we'll have to discuss an alternative accommodation for you.
Until further notice, the Welcome Party has been suspended. We always looked forward to attending the Welcome Party every time we visited this resort, and it'll be the first time we're unable to attend it. We're hopeful that this will be available again in June prior to our arrival.
We will need to work with each of those individuals that made reservations in the previous year, in order to rebook your accommodation as soon as possible. We'll be reaching out this week to each of those individuals to make arrangements in regards to arrival/departure date and accommodation.
Make sure you bookmark this page and return back here after the wedding to view photos and videos of the event.
Our wedding will take place on the beautiful beach of NV Beach . Our reception will be held at The Blue Lagoon restaurant, immediately following the wedding ceremony.
