When it comes to destination weddings, Punta Cana’s beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters create a breathtaking setting for your big day. Recently, our photography team had the honor of capturing Nicole and Lucas’ stunning wedding at the luxurious Finest Punta Cana. Their day was full of love, good energy, and even better people! I can’t wait to take you behind the scenes of their celebration. Plus, I’ll share some insights into what makes this resort a great location for weddings. Let’s dive in!

Finest Punta Cana Is a Tropical Paradise for Couples

Nestled on the shores of Uvero Alto in Punta Cana, Finest Punta Cana is a five-star, all-inclusive resort that exudes elegance, luxury, and romance. If you’re dreaming of a tropical fairytale wedding, this place has everything you could ask for. Some of the highlights:

  • An expansive beach that you and your guests can walk and explore along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It has a very natural and adventurous vibe!
  • Pinterest Board worthy Architecture, perfect for wedding photos. 
  • Luxurious amenities that make you feel so welcome and comfortable and deserving of a high-end vacation! 

Finest Punta Cana is designed to accommodate both adults-only celebrations and family-inclusive weddings. Choose the Excellence Club for a serene, adults-only experience or the Finest Club if you’re bringing family and friends of all ages. Both options include access to exclusive bars, restaurants, private pools, and your own slice of paradise on the beach.

The resort’s suites are spacious, modern, and super-comfy. If you can, opt for an ocean-view suite. Waking up to the sight of the turquoise ocean every morning? That’s pure magic! And don’t even get me started on the food, there are plenty of options: 13 restaurants, 9 bars, and 2 food trucks. You and your guests will never run out of delicious options to indulge in!

For the fitness enthusiasts, there’s a top-notch gym, plus courts for tennis, basketball, and soccer. But let’s be real—lounging by the pool with a tropical cocktail in hand sounds just as good, if not better!

And the resort staff? They’re as warm and welcoming as the Caribbean sun. Their friendly smiles and attentive service make every guest feel special, which is exactly what you want during your wedding week.

Plan your Wedding at Finest Punta Cana

Finest Punta Cana is a really good option for couples planning a small, intimate wedding. Their pre-designed wedding packages start at just $850 for up to 10 people (including the bride and groom) and go up to $2,400 for 20 guests. These packages cover the basics and allow you to customize the details to bring your wedding vision to life. Need to add more guests? No problem, you just need to pay a little extra per person.

The resort provides an on-site wedding coordinator to help you manage all the planning: from the ceremony details, flowers & decor, the menu, and the entertainment. While they’re skilled at pulling off beautiful weddings, keep in mind that communication can sometimes be slow, and there may be hidden fees you’ll want to clarify upfront. It can be hard to find the answer to your questions in a timely manner, which can really stress out some brides, understandably. Just know that everything will come together in the end and the Finest team is exceptional with execution on your big day. Rest assured, no matter your experience with communication leading up to your event, your wedding will be in good hands.

You can choose from several breathtaking venues for your ceremony and reception:

  • Ceremony: Beach, stone gazebo, or rooftop terrace
  • Reception: Beach, plaza, or ballroom

Each option is stunning, so you really can’t go wrong! The resort also offers an adorable bridal suite for you and your bridal party to get ready in a stylish and comfortable setting helping you to feel pampered and get the good energy flowing!

Resort Wedding Photography

Most resort wedding packages include a few photos or a short video of the ceremony, often by the on-site photographer. While these can be a nice touch, they’re typically limited to 5–10 photos or a brief highlight reel. That’s hardly enough to capture the full story of your day! Not to mention if you would like more photos, they usually charge extra per photo. 

Your wedding is more than just the ceremony. It’s about those candid moments you share with your girls and guys while getting ready, the real unfiltered emotions during the first look, the romantic couple portraits after your ceremony that you’ll treasure forever, and the unforgettable vibes of your reception.

Whether you hire us, bring your own photographer, or work with the resort’s team, I highly recommend investing in a complete photography package. We typically deliver 750-1000 photos for a full day of coverage. Your wedding day deserves to be captured in its entirety so that you can reflect back on all the precious moments for years to come! 

Nicole & Lucas’ Wedding at Finest Punta Cana

Now, let’s get to the highlight of this blog—Nicole and Lucas’ wedding!

Their ceremony took place in the stone gazebo surrounded by the beautiful lush gardens. Starting at 5 PM, the lighting was absolutely perfect, casting a golden glow over their heartfelt ceremony.

Nicole looked radiant in her bridal gown, carrying a vibrant bouquet of tropical flowers. Lucas couldn’t take his eyes off her as she walked down the aisle—it was such a touching moment that perfectly showcased their love and commitment to each other.

For their reception, they chose the elegant ballroom, which was transformed into a lively celebration. Guests danced the night away and enjoyed every second of the evening.
