Hello, my husband, and I would like to have a symbolic wedding next year in March. We are already married in the United States, so we are only looking to do some boating in Dominican Republic. It will only be the two of us and we have not booked a hotel yet. But if we can get a hotel that has a discount due to this package, that would be great.
Can someone please reach out to me?
