--Boutique Hotel Saw 25% Growth In Nuptials --

Las Terranas, Dominican Republic, February 22, 2016 – Destination weddings have exploded into a $16 billion dollar industry with many nuptials taking place in the Caribbean.   On average, couples spend $28,000 for destination weddings in a luxury resort.  Surrounded by lush mountains and sparkling turquoise waters in the secluded Samaná Peninsula, Sublime Samana Hotel is a tropical oasis for couples to say 'I Do' holding 10 weddings last year in the Dominican Republic with 10 already in the books for 2016.

The Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ property is an exclusive collection of 26 private suites and casitas providing friends and families attending a destination wedding with spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies or terraces, elegant furnishings, dining areas and fully equipped kitchens.  The boutique hotel's modern architecture features a breathtaking football field-length swimming pool punctuated by luxurious daybeds creating an awe-inspiring setting for loved ones to bond and reconnect with each other as they celebrate the special day.

Fairy-Tale Wedding Settings

Sublime Samana Hotel has four intimate settings for lovebirds to begin their lives together.  The boutique hotel's wedding planners work closely with the couples to be on tailoring the menu, décor, ambience, and invitation to create memories for a lifetime.

• The Beach is a phenomenally stunning setting nestled by palm trees and golden sand leading to the azure Atlantic Ocean for the entire wedding party.

• Nestled steps from the pristine beach, La Palapa, an open air restaurant, has just undergone an expansion – a new kitchen with a new wood oven called Josper, the second of its kind in the Dominican Republic, to preserve the natural flavors of the food.  The venue now has added more tables and chairs to cater for 120 individuals.
