FAQs
We thought you may have some questions about our weekend. If you still have queries beyond these, please do not hesitate to reach out to the hotel or our wedding planner, as applicable.
When Should I Arrive?
We appreciate you making the trip to the Dominican Republic to celebrate with us!
The official festivities are Nov 7-9th, 2024. We recommend you arrive Wednesday 11/6 if you can, so you have a chance to relax and explore the beauty of Casa de Campo. Thursday evening 11/7 we will host a Welcome Party & Friday afternoon 11/8 will be the Ceremony! We've reserved the room block at our wedding guest rate for Monday 11/4 through Monday 11/11, so feel free to stay for an extended trip and enjoy the holiday weekend!
Do I Need a Passport?
Yes, you will need a passport to enter into the Dominican Republic. To be safe, please check your passports ASAP to ensure that they will not expire within 6 months of our Wedding date (through May 2025!).
Some countries do not allow entry within 6 months of expiry.
If that is the case, we recommend renewing your passport as soon as possible.
Are There Any Customs Forms I Need to Complete Prior to Entering the Dominican Republic?
The Dominican Republic has migrated its customs forms to a digital platform you can fill out in advance of your flight for both entering and leaving the country. Please note that the use of this platform is free. We recommend completing it beforehand on your phone and taking a screenshot of your QR code for easy access.

Details to come!
Can I Bring My Kids?
While we love your little ones, our wedding and wedding events will be adults only, unless they are a part of the wedding party. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so that you can unwind & party with us!
Do I Need to Rent a Car?
All hotel rooms and villas will come with a golf cart, as this is the major way of transportation around
Casa de Campo! Renting a car is not necessary. And for hotel/airport transfers, we recommend
using the services of Renny Travel. Make sure to do so at least 2 weeks before the wedding and mention the Benedicto/McGuire wedding in the comment box.
Can I Stay Outside of Casa de Campo?
No, you must stay on the property of Casa de Campo in order to attend all wedding festivities.
We promise it will be worth it!
Is the Hotel All-Inclusive?
Casa De Campo provides guests the option to choose whether or not they'd like to enjoy an all inclusive experience OR a non inclusive experience. It is completely up to you whether or not you choose the all-inclusive option. This decision can be made when you are selecting your accommodation. Selecting all inclusive will include most Casa De Campo restaurants as well as drinks and certain activities. For those who do not choose all inclusive, payment is a la carte.
I Would Like to Book a Villa at CDC with a Group. How Can I do That?
Please reach out to Shelby or Sean directly and we can help guide you through our rental contact. We do NOT recommend using AirBnB or VRBO as there are many scams out there for CDC, and moreover we need to abide by the commitment we have to the hotel. If you do plan to rent a villa-please ensure that you will have access to a golf cart while there (this may need to be booked separately).
What is the Currency in the Dominican Republic?
Should I Exchange Dollars?
Currency in the Dominican Republic is pesos. If you're planning to spend all your time at Casa de Campo, you will be able to get by with your Credit Card and dollars, and there's no need to exchange pesos. If you need to exchange dollars to pesos, we recommend either using an ATM machine or the resort. The airport currency exchange booths never offer the best rate. Also, keep in mind that the exchange rate fluctuates daily, and at the moment of typing this answer, the rate is $1 USD = 55 Dominican pesos.
How is the Weather in Casa de Campo?
The Dominican Republic has a tropical climate. Temperatures range from high 80’s during the day
to low 70's in the evening. With warm, yet pleasant temperatures, November is a great time of year to visit the region without sweltering in the intense heat of summer. We hope you'll find it to be a great escape from the dropping temperatures in the northeast!
Please make sure to pack your sunscreen!
