about us

wedding planner in the dominican republic

Island Weddings Dominican Republic was born out of a deep love for weddings, travel, and the beauty of the Dominican Republic. I’m Lara, founder of the company, and my passion for weddings started when I was a kid. In 2016, I made the leap from Switzerland to the Dominican Republic with my Dominican husband and our three dogs to turn this passion into my dream job. Now, after eight years of creating unforgettable weddings in paradise, I’m thrilled to share my journey with you.

Our mission is simple: to show couples the true beauty of the Dominican Republic while crafting moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. We believe in sustainability, working closely with local suppliers and venues to create stunning weddings that leave a positive impact. From elopements to grand celebrations, every detail is handled with love, ensuring your day is stress-free and filled with joy.
