What happens if I don't book with Morgan?

By booking with Making Memories by Morgan you'll automatically be added to attend all of the private wedding events on property and get this special group pricing. Making Memories by Morgan will create your individual room bookings, arrange your transportation, provide emails to prep you for travel, and personalize your online travel documents two weeks prior to travel. These travel documents include an itinerary of your entire travel experience, in addition to some resources such as a packing guide, tipping guide, etc. 

As a reminder you must book through Making Memories by Morgan to be included in the group events, otherwise it will be an additional cost for you to attend any wedding events. This rate will be dependent on the amount of events and details of each event, therefore this pricing will not be known until about 60 days prior to the wedding. 

Do I need a passport?

Yes, all international travelers are required to have a passport, including infants and children. To learn more about the application process, please visit the U.S. Department of State website. If you do not have a valid passport I highly recommend starting the application process ASAP!

A passport BOOK is required - Passport Cards are not valid for air travel. If you already have a passport, please check the expiration date as it must be valid 6 months post travel. This means that your passport needs to be valid through November 20, 2024 or later. 

Travel insurance

Because group reservations at all inclusive resorts are pre-paid and non-refundable, travel insurance is encouraged to protect your travel investment, your belongings and most importantly you, for those unforeseen circumstances that may arise before or during your trip. Making Memories by Morgan has no relation to the insurance company, therefore any claims will be directly between you and the insurance company. Insurance is non-refundable once purchased. The cost of insurance is based on your age, your state of residency and the total cost of your trip. Due to this, land only travel insurance prices will automatically be quoted for each individual guest after your inquiry, with the option to decline if you choose. This quote will not include coverage for air. After you book your air, we can amend this policy to include coverage for your airfare. Let me know if you're interested in doing this as this MUST be done within 7 days of your airfare purchase. It is typically cheaper to amend your existing policy to add air vs. buying a totally separate policy from the airline. 

Without insurance, there are no refunds should your plans change (even in circumstances that are out of your control). Without insurance, you will also not have any medical coverage for mishaps or catastrophic events. Your US health insurance will likely not work outside of the United States; please read the FAQ below for more detail.

Please note if you choose to decline travel insurance:
  • Deposit is non-refundable. If cancellation occurs between deposit and December 20, 2023 a $125 per room cancellation fee will apply, in addition to the non-refundable deposit. If cancellation occurs between December 21, 2023- time of travel a 100% penalty will apply.
  • You will be required to complete a decline insurance waiver prior to deposit. 

Is there a payment plan option?

Yes! A room deposit of $100 per person, plus the cost of optional but encouraged travel insurance, is due to confirm your reservation by August 23, 2023. The final date to book and pay for everything in full is December 20, 2023. 

There are no set requirements for payments, as long as you are paid in full no later than December 20, 2023 at 5:00pm CST. Anytime you'd like to make a payment you can do so HERE by using your confirmation/reservation number found on your invoice. 

What about airfare?

Due to contract deadlines, I recommend booking your hotel room as early as possible so you have plenty of time to purchase your airfare. Airfare is not included and you are responsible for booking your airfare. I highly suggest booking direct with the airline and at minimum doing the economy equivalent class. Basic economy initial looks cheaper, however you have to pay an additional cost for an assigned seat and are in the last boarding zone. It's also the least flexible ticket should you need to make any changes.

You will want to fly into Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Transportation is ONLY included for guests arriving into Punta Cana airport the day of their reservation at Secrets Cap Cana AND departing from Punta Cana airport the last day of their reservation from Secrets Cap Cana that have provided their flight information to travel@makingmemoriesbymorgan.com 60+ days prior to travel.  If you are arriving and staying somewhere else, you will be required for setting up your own transportation

For your departure down to Punta Cana, I recommend aiming for at least 1 hour on the layover. There are some flights that have 40 minute layovers, so while doable these can have a higher risk for missed connection flights. 

For your departure back home, I recommend aiming for at least 2 hours on the layover, as you will go through customs & immigration during your first stop back into the United States. I also recommend avoiding flights that depart before 11:00am, as you will be picked up from the resort about 4- 4.5 hours prior your flight time. 

Don't forget once you book your airfare to provide me with your airfare and confirmation number so I can arrange your transportation! This is typically a 6 character code and sometimes referred to as PNR or record locator.  

Please forward your airfare confirmation email that contains your 6 character confirmation code (or provide your airline and airline confirmation number) to Morgan at travel@makingmemoriesbymorgan.com no later than 60 days in advance so your transfers can be arranged (don't worry Morgan will send you at least three reminders!). If your airfare is not received by this date you will forfeit the costs of your transportation and be responsible for arranging your own transportation.

Can I come early or stay later?

Absolutely! If you are interested in arriving early or staying later reach out to Morgan ASAP so she can request additional availability and provide you a quote. Please note that rates and availability are subject to change for rooms outside the room block. 


What is a room block?

The bride and groom have thought ahead and have contracted rooms and rates for Secrets Cap Cana. This means specific room categories are being held at a locked in special rate or the travel window of May 15- 20, 2024! Within these dates you can arrive and depart at any time. ***Should you want to arrive earlier or depart later please let me know so I can request additional room nights (based on availability).

With this room block:
  • The couple has signed a contract with the resort and has committed to a minimum number of rooms
  • Only rooms booked with Making Memories by Morgan count toward this contract
  • The resort has a 3 night minimum stay requirement

I have more questions!
