Destination Wedding at Kukua Beach Club in Punta Cana / Erica & Trevor

If you’re dreaming of a romantic, beachfront wedding in the Caribbean, Kukua Beach Club in Punta Cana might just be the perfect spot. This stunning venue combines modern elegance with tropical charm, offering couples an unforgettable setting for saying “I do.”

Located just 25 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport, Kukua is a private beach club nestled between the popular resorts of Bavaro Beach. Unlike many resort venues, Kukua offers a more intimate and personalized wedding experience, making it a favorite among couples who want more freedom and flexibility when planning their big day.

Our lovely couple, Erica & Trevor, initially chose to celebrate their wedding at a local all-inclusive resort. However, due to recent changes in the resort’s policies regarding external vendors, they were unfortunately forced to reconsider their original plans.

They had scheduled a site inspection prior to the big day and, as we had already been hired as their wedding photographers, we took the opportunity after their engagement session to introduce them to the world of off-resort wedding venues in Punta Cana.

It didn’t take long for them to fall in love with Kukua Beach Club. Its charm, flexibility, and breathtaking ambiance immediately captured their hearts—and the rest, as they say, is history.

What offers for your big day?

• Private Beach Ceremony: Say your vows with your toes in the sand and the ocean as your backdrop.
• Custom Decor Options: From minimal boho-chic to luxurious setups, Kukua’s talented design team -Rachel & Mayte-brings your vision to life.
• Exclusive Use: You and your guests get the entire space to yourselves on the day of your wedding—no competing events!
• Gourmet Catering: Their on-site restaurant is known for fresh, high-quality cuisine tailored to your tastes.
• Bridal Suite: Elegantly designed with a romantic, chic, vintage-inspired aesthetic, the bridal suite offers the perfect backdrop for your getting ready moments and timeless photographs.

Kukua Beach Club is ideal for mid-sized celebrations, typically accommodating up to 100 guests. One of its most valuable advantages is the flexibility it offers when it comes to vendors—you’re welcome to bring your own photographer, videographer, hair stylist, makeup artist, musicians, and more without incurring the high vendor fees that many resorts charge.

This is a key benefit if you’re looking to personalize your wedding day with your preferred team of professionals.

Booking Tip: Dates fill up quickly—especially in high season (December to April). It’s best to reserve 12–18 months in advance.
