By Dayna Engberg
Known across the Caribbean for their vow-worthy views, Palace Resorts is a fan favorite all-inclusive resort for destination weddings. With the opening of their hottest new resort location in Punta Cana in Spring 2026, we caught up with their wedding expert to talk all things“ I do” in the Dominican Republic. Here’ s what she had to say.
Q. Why is Punta Cana so popular for destination weddings?
A. Punta Cana is simply magical. The combination of turquoise waters and endless white-sand beaches creates a dreamlike setting that feels like it was made for weddings. Beyond the beauty, the culture here is vibrant and full of joy— from the music to the food and the warm hospitality of the Dominican people, everything feels like a true celebration of love.
