Grand Palladium Palace

Welcome to the Grand Palladium Resorts in Punta Cana. This amazing complex is made up of 3 Palladium Resorts, all ideal for a charming wedding day surrounded by your friends and family:

Grand Palladium Bavaro Suites
Grand Palladium Punta Cana
*Grand Palladium Palace*

These resorts offer a comprehensive all-inclusive concept, with daytime activities and entertainment, watersports and a kids club, and a relaxing Spa. Choose your resort based on suite style and budget, and still have free flow access to the other Palladium resorts. Enjoy six aquamarine pools including an adults-only pool and a family water park. Throughout the day, participate in mini-golf, ping-pong, salasa classes, kayak races and karaoke. In the evening, with 8 dining options, taste the best cuts at the El Dorado Steak House, catch a live cooking show at 5 different a la cartes, or enjoy a relaxed evening in front of the beach and dine at Behique, serving fresh fish and grills. 

Palladium Weddings are a dream - with multiple beach venues, and a romantic cliff-top gazebo with white columns and several tropical gardens, there is plenty to choose from for your special day!

The Palladium Punta Cana Resorts offer a wide variety of packages for weddings. To showcase as many as possible, we've included different packages for each resort. Any packages you see on this page for Palladium Palace, are also applicable to Palladium Punta Cana & Bavaro Suites, and vice versa. These packages cater to all weddings, groups & sizes, budgets and style. 

To confirm your special day, we'll need to know if you want a legal or symbolic ceremony, as well as your preferred dates, package, venues and party size. Once the deposit has been taken, you'll be assigned a dedicated wedding co-ordinator in resort to go into the specific details of your wedding, such as flower choices, seating charts and music playlists for your reception. Any additional events, guests and experiences you add onto your wedding package, will go through your in-resort wedding coordinator. While you arrange your perfect day, we’ll help your friends and family with their travel arrangements and add them to your party list so you grow your group benefits and discounts.

For a symbolic wedding in the Dominican Republic, you need to arrive 2 business days before your ceremony, 3 days for a legal ceremony, and your arrival day counts as day 0.

Should any of your party wish to stay at another resort and only join you for the day, they will be subject to a wedding day entrance fee to be paid on arrival. External guest restrictions are limited to a maximum of 20% of your guests, and entrance is based on availability and occupancy of the resort. Alternatively, guests can stay a minimum of 4 nights at the resort, which must include the night before and night of your ceremony, and then move to their preferred resort. This will not incur a wedding day entrance fee, and the 20% restriction does not apply in this case. These rules do not apply if your friends and family are staying at the Grand Palladium Punta Cana & Bavaro Suites, which share facilities within the same complex.

If you're looking for a legal ceremony, the Dominican Republic equires you to arrive 3 full business days before your ceremony. Your in-resort wedding coordinator will help you with the legal arrangements. After your ceremony, you will be sent your notarised and translated marriage license to your home address, within 8 weeks. Temporary copies will be given in resort after your ceremony. 

In the Dominican Republic same-sex marriages can be restrictive. Legal ceremonies are not possible. However, some resorts will offer symbolic ceremonies, including the Palladium Resorts. If you're looking for a legal same-sex wedding in the Caribbean, Mexico and Costa Rica would be the best choice with no restrictions on ceremony type or hotel choice.

All ceremonies can be tailored to your religious needs. For a catholic marriage, the ceremony needs to be held in a consecrated venue*. If your resort does not have a consecrated venue, a catholic priest can be brought in to perform a marriage blessing in the venue of your choice.
*Palladium Punta Cana offers a consecrated Catholic Chapel.
