Destinations







Dominican Republic

 The second largest island in the Caribbean and the second most popular wedding destination.  On this island you have three different "views" to the local culture.  There is the European side to Santo Domingo with their rolling residential hills on the South side and Colonial architecture.  On the North is the more laid back with Atlantic waters and cappuccino sand beaches along with the mountainous backdrop.  Then there is the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Punta Cana.
