The Tropical Paradise package starts at $1,200 and is valid for up to 16 guests. Additional guests are once again $15 and the package includes the same preparations, services, and set up as Waves of Love in Blue. Another addition is a romantic turndown service on the night of the wedding.

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca

The third option of our 5 Affordable Dominican Republic Wedding Packages is the basic symbolic wedding at VIK Hotel Arena Blanca. This premier all-inclusive property sits on powdery Punta Cana sands and encompasses everything that is beautiful about the area. Room rates are economical, averaging around $120 to $140. This resort offers four wedding packages. A symbolic and civil ceremony, and a “royal” edition of each. For an entry-level wedding package, the basic symbolic wedding offers an unparalleled amount of services and options, far more than any other basic wedding package that you can find in the Dominican Republic.

For $815 you and your partner will receive ceremony organization from a professional wedding coordinator, a fruit basket and bottle of wine upon arrival, romantic music for the ceremony, floral bouquet and boutonniere, decorated wedding cake, photography service and 20 printed photos, romantic dinner with a maximum of 20 in accompaniment, breakfast in bed, a discount on spa treatments, discounts on an anniversary stays, and late departure subject to availability. Oh, and did we mention this covers 20 wedding guests? The amount of inclusions for this price is borderline absurd, in the best sense. The royal option adds a 40-minute couples massage, romantic dinner for two at their premier restaurant, and flower center services for an additional $300.

Similarly to the other resorts on this list, this is a shockingly good value for your money. The resort itself is intimate, quaint, and makes for an excellent setting for any couple seeking a tropical getaway. It is truly a package that doesn’t leave much to the imagination, however, hits all major points that couples generally have interest in. It’s difficult to come across a more comprehensive and put together wedding package than VIK Arena Blanca’s, which is why it makes our list of affordable options in the Dominican Republic.

RIU Republica

Up next is a familiar name, RIU, and the RIU Republica all-inclusive wedding resort. This massive property in Punta Cana lives up to its name with spectacular accommodations, amenities, restaurants, pools, and more. This resort is the representative of adults-only properties on our list and boasts a serious marine-themed style that is both magnetic and elegant. Reliable room rates that average between $100-$150 per person per night may seem a bit steep on the latter end, but not so much when you consider the inclusions of their free wedding package. Among the best offerings in the Dominican Republic, this package welcomes up to 10 guests and includes the services of an RIU wedding specialist, a romantic ceremony set up and decoration, a ceremony playlist, sparkling wine and wedding cake, bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, semi-private wedding dinner at a specialty restaurant, in-room romantic decorations, and a surprise spa gift.

It’s a terrific combination of wedding amenities for a price that couldn’t get better. There are numerous add ons, upgrades, and romance packages to select from, and with the initial cost being $0, you’ll not be breaking the bank by indulging a bit. There are no minimum room or room night requirements, and the package is eligible with the purchase of any room category. It sounds a bit difficult to believe, but that’s precisely why RIU Republica makes our list of 5 Affordable Dominican Republic Wedding Packages.

Be Live Collection Punta Cana
