Bahia Principe - San Juan

Britt&Chris · August 6, 2009

Hey Ladies

Just wondering if anyone is, has or knows someone who has gotten or is getting married at the Bahia Principe San Juan. This is the first resort my fiance and I ever went to together so it has a special kind of charm. It is also more affordable for our guests but I cannot for the life of me find reviews about it any where other than the regular guest reviews on trip advisor.com. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi,

I am getting married there in a few weeks, Sept. 15. We leave on the 10th as you have to be on the island 3 days before they can marry you.

We started planning in March. Searched the books for a nice, but reasonably priced resort. We have 12 adults and 7 children coming, so we wanted to make sure it was kid friendly and again reasonably priced for our guests to go down and the wedding package too. I was lucky enough to have my future in-laws, go there to check it out on a last minute holiday they took. They came back with many reviews, all great! This resort is nice, as you have been there. There were no problems, and the wedding venue, the gazebo is just lovely she said. So that was it, we booked it.

Georgina is the wedding coordinator there, we of course emailed her fiorst before we booked to see if they can marry us that week we wanted. All was good and the date was set. So we booked the flights and that was it.

We just then had to get all our documents in order, as I'm sure you have heard about. I am in the Toronto area, so the easiest and best way I was advised was to go to the Dominican Consulate to get it all done. I know there are others out there, but be aware, as I informed by the Consulate, they are not legal and charge way more to make money. The DR Consulate is the best way to go, and it was done in 4 days! peace of mind...

So there is nothing to do now but go...we are all excited and everything is done on this end.

I would recommend for you to email Georgina as she is a doll! Very informative and she can send you all the packages to choose form.

her email is:

Good luck!
