Planning Destination ‘I Dos’ Is a Breeze With Apple Vacations
Let’s be honest, from the moment a bride says ‘YES’ to that illustrious piece of jewelry on her left ring finger, she’s turning that stress level up from ‘ugh, my mani isn’t doing this sparkler justice’ to ‘omg where are we going to get married’ and ‘waitttt, is that whisky you’re pouring at the bar? Uncle Al shouldn’t be having his eighth glass.’ An engagement is a special time between a bride and her partner, and if nerves and planning pressures are taking the fun out of it, then something or someone better step in to steal it all away. And it all starts with a destination dream and a team of top brass travel pros to turn those jet-setting wedding whims into reality.

We did some rooting around on the company’s roster of wedding resort destinations - from Cancun to Curacao, Costa Rica to Cozumel - and winded up perusing Punta Cana and three incredible resorts rife with romance and ridiculous eye candy to infuse into your special day.
Majestic Resorts: Colonial, Elegance and Mirage couldn't be any more perfect hosts for your wedding. With a terrific team of wedding coordinators and several scenic ceremony locations to scout out to exchange your vows, the properties were pretty much destined to be destination wedding hot spots.
Each resort is family-friendly, but also boasts adults-only sections. So, once the kids go off to bed, their parents can have some fun - be it at a cocktail party for the soon-to-be married couple, a romantic dinner for just the two of them, or a no-strings-attached night out at any one of the many bars and VIP lounges.
Scroll through for a look at what you can score by having your wedding at one of these three exceptional premises, and if you're not convinced by the end, just keep in mind that if you book 15 rooms or more for a 7-nights stay or 105 room nights in total, Majestic Resorts Punta Cana will offer you a FREE (yes, we're not joking) wedding package. 🙌

Majestic Resorts has three exceptionally-gorgeous hotels to check out. All of which promise a phenomenal destination wedding experience. Scroll through to see what’s in store for your Punta Cana celebration.

you'll get some built-in benefits with your wedding package
From free upgrades to plushier rooms and early check-in / late check-out for you lovebirds to nuptial nuts and bolts like a civil or religious officiant, beautiful wedding cake, flowers for the two of you, a champagne toast for your guests and all of the becoming-partners-for-life paperwork and certificates signed, sealed and authorized (without so much as asking you to dot i’s and cross t’s), your big day is NO BIG DEAL - when it comes to pressure, that is. You’ll also get a romantic breakfast (in bed) and dinner, a 25-minute massage, and a hand-delivered bottle of bubbly twice during your stay.
you can go [wedding] soup to nuts, too, if you're so inclined
Though your package comes with several premium perks, you can discuss upgrades and add ons with your wedding coordinator for an additional fee. Let’s just say, you can have it all, for a price (just ask!). Music, flowers, a private gala (or rehearsal) dinner, a beach (or welcome) cocktail party, a photographer or cinematographer, all of these a la carte services can be locked and loaded just by conferring with your coordinators - whether you do it from afar or do it upon your arrival. 
your guests won't just be wedding-bound, they'll get a vacay too
Of course, they’re there to see you and your S.O. make it official in one of the most romantic locales of life, but they’ll also get some quality R&R. From some of the most spacious and alluring guest rooms, to world-class dining and recreation, your resort won’t disappoint. Not to mention, while all the properties specialize in adult-oriented accoutrements, the Majestic Mirage offers two buildings for families with children and all three of the resorts participate in the Splash Kids Club, which provides babysitting and fun activities for children 4 to 14. A great opportunity for parents to have the night out to watch their family member or bestie get married and be able to trust in a capable, confident and qualified caretaker to keep their little ones safe and spellbound.
