I see there has been some discussion here about him. Any feedback would be MOST appreciated. How did you get in touch with him or his associate. Can he really officiate a legal ceremony. . I was told it couldn't be done since there is only one judge in Punta Cana.

 

It is weird that you were told the judge is unavailable for your date is it is in January 2013 as the judge doesn't open his agenda for 2013 until April 2012 lol..  Civil weddings can be scheduled but not confirmed until the judge opens his agenda.. 

On another note, my FI were actually going to use the jodge ( if he was available ) but after reading the wording for the ceremony ( it is very to the point with no emotion / also in spanish that is translated by your WC) we decided to get  married at home and book Pastor Rick York.  Once you have read his ceremony scripts you wont want anyone else to do your ceremony!  You can find reviews on here about him and on FB and they are all beyond fabulous  

Good Luck

Thanks! They told me the judge was on "holiday" during the entire week I will be there. Go figure. Maybe he just announces his vacation schedule ahead of time. . They offered other dates, but then told me that the judge could change his mind later on. I def do not want to get there only to find out I can't be married! Lol! I will check out Pastor York. Best of luck with your wedding!! I will be a few days behind you at the Palma Real!

Rick York just did our ceremony 2 weeks ago (2/25). I set up a meeting with when we got down there 5 days before our wedding day and chatted with him about the ceremony. He lives in La Romana 1.5hrs away, but was in Punta Cana earlier that week for a few other weddings so he was able to meet with us. He says he does about 6 weddings a week - so I know he's a busy man. He shows up on time/early for everything. I wouldn't worry about a thing!

For those that have already had their ceremonies - if you don't mind me asking, are we supposed to tip Pastor Rick York? I'm really not sure if it's expected, and if so, how much? Thank you for any advice!

Ahh, I have been wondering the same thing...anyone know about tipping?

How about how much to tip the wedding coordinator? I am so bad at that stuff, should just leave it up to my FI

Does anyone know what he looks like?   I guess it doesn't matter, but I'm one that like to put a face with a name.

 

Here is his voice if anyone is interested.
