Weddings in Puerto Plata - Plan your dream wedding

Puerto Plata

Wild flowers, historical forts and mountains with botanical gardens, and gondola-like cable cars make this wedding destination truly UNIQUE.

Discovered in the 1490’s by Christopher Columbus, this natural port is said to have gained its name, ‘Puerto Plata,’ which means port of silver, from its silvery, mist-like appearance. Furthermore, the area is nicknamed ‘La Novia del Atlántico,’ or, the ‘Bride of the Atlantic,’ due to the sheer beauty the region exudes, making weddings in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic idyllic.

The history of this region is as rich as its culture with the city being founded by Nicholas De Ovando in 1502. Puerto Plato was -- and still is -- known as a port city where traders have continuously used the region’s natural facilities for tobacco and other product trading. Hence, the region boasts Fort ‘Fuerte de San Felipe’ built in 1540 and Victorian gingerbread look-a-like mansions that were built in the late 1800’s, which add a dynamic element to Puerto Plato weddings.

Other major attractions include Mount Isabel de Torres complete with gondola-like cable cars that allow you to travel to the top of the peak and behold breathtaking views of the city and surrounding areas. In addition to this, the mountain is home to a 35-acre botanical garden that houses some of the most exquisite orchards and other beautiful floral delights.
