Our Finest Resorts Destination Weddings Guide features 2 of our most requested hotels for weddings in Punta Cana and Mexico. Finest occupies a unique position in the destination wedding landscape. Part of the Excellence Collection — one of the most respected names in luxury all-inclusive hospitality — the Finest brand delivers a more elevated, design-forward experience than its sister properties, with dedicated wedding programs built to match. Two properties carry the Finest name: Finest Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Finest Playa Mujeres, just north of Cancun on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

For Canadian couples, both properties offer exceptional value, outstanding service, and two distinct settings — one on the shores of the Dominican Republic’s most iconic beach destination, the other on a secluded peninsula overlooking Isla Mujeres. Both share the same wedding package structure, making it easy to compare and choose the setting that suits your vision best.

Why we love it

Finest Punta Cana sits along the pristine shores of Uvero Alto — a quieter, more exclusive stretch of coastline approximately 50 minutes north of Punta Cana International Airport. With 455 rooms, seven pools, twelve restaurants, and sixteen bars, the resort blends family-friendly warmth with adults-only escape, all within one cohesive property. It’s why we love Finest Resorts Destination Weddings.

Wedding Experience

For wedding groups, Finest Punta Cana is exceptionally well-equipped. A dedicated wedding coordinator manages every detail on-site, and a bridal spa salon means the getting-ready experience is woven into the resort itself. The property accommodates wedding groups from 2 to 120 guests across six distinct ceremony and reception venues — more flexibility than almost any comparable all-inclusive in Punta Cana.

Weddings at Finest Punta Cana are defined by the contrast between the lush tropical landscape of Uvero Alto and the polished, design-forward interiors of the resort itself. Beachfront ceremonies set against the turquoise Dominican waters anchor the experience, while the resort’s indoor ballroom and terrace spaces give couples full flexibility to move indoors if needed. The wedding team here is highly experienced with Canadian and North American groups, and the all-inclusive format means guests are never looking at a bill.
