Read Dom & Beth's blog about their wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel Punta Canta to find out more:

The Hard Rock hotel in the Dominican Republic was out of this world! It made the perfect wedding destination for us as it catered for everyone's holiday needs along with having the most beautiful settings and surroundings to celebrate our special day. It's hard to imagine the size and scale of the place until you arrive!

We chose to upgrade to the White Rosette package and it was worth every penny. The wedding coordinators contact you in plenty of time before you arrive and make the choices available to you very simple and straight forward taking all the stress out of a traditional wedding. The service you get is second to none and you really do feel like a Rock Star!

Perfect Weddings were fantastic in helping us to arrange our special day. From picking up the phone one evening not knowing where we would like our wedding to be and not having a clue how we went about it we were guided every step of the way.

Julie our specialist was very knowledgeable and gave us so many choices and options to consider so we could get the perfect venue for us. Once we booked perfect weddings we're only a phone call or an email away to get the help and support we needed.
