What is the best time of year to have a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic?

The best time of year to get married in the Dominican Republic depends on your preferences. You’ll find the best weather (less rainfall) during peak season, which runs from December to April, however, this is also when prices and crowds will be at their highest.
