Wedding in La Romana

La Romana sits on the Dominican Republic's south coast, two hours west of Punta Cana, and is home to Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, one of the Caribbean's most established and respected luxury resorts. La Romana is not a beach-tourist destination in the traditional sense. It is a sugar-industry capital with active sugar-cane fields, a colonial old town, and an international airport (LRM) that receives direct flights from Madrid. International couples marry here seeking Caribbean luxury with European refinement and a wedding that combines beach, golf and cultural elements.

Direct flights to La Romana exist from several European cities but not from London; the simplest route is to fly to Punta Cana (4 hours direct from New York and Toronto, 10 to 14 hours via Europe from London) and drive 1.5 to 2 hours west. No visa required. The best wedding season is November to April, with drier weather; February to March is peak. Hurricane season August to October has historically spared the south coast more than the north.

La Romana's wedding scene revolves around a single property: Casa de Campo. The resort covers 28 square kilometres and includes 185 hotel rooms, 150 private villas (many available to rent), three golf courses (including Teeth of the Dog, ranked the Caribbean's best), its own marina, an equestrian centre and Altos de Chavón, a reconstructed 16th-century village on a clifftop above the Chavón River, built in stone by Italian craftsmen in the 1970s. Altos de Chavón hosts a 5,000-seat amphitheatre and a limestone church consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1979, one of the Caribbean's most singular wedding venues.

Casa de Campo's wedding packages are non-all-inclusive, distinguishing the resort from the rest of the Dominican Republic. The couple pays per component (ceremony, food, beverage, decoration) and can therefore tailor more than at all-inclusive resorts. A wedding in the limestone Church of St Stanislaus starts from EUR 3,300 for the ceremony alone, with reception at Altos de Chavón from EUR 175 per guest, and guest accommodation from EUR 430 per night. Larger weddings book entire villa sections; six-bedroom villas from EUR 2,100 per night.

Beyond Casa de Campo, smaller alternatives line Bayahibe Beach 30 minutes south of La Romana. Dreams La Romana, Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus and Viva Wyndham Dominicus are all-inclusive resorts at standard pricing. Symbolic ceremonies dominate; legal marriage in the limestone church requires local authority dispensation and 30 days of preparation.
