Private Wedding Venue · Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Villa Espada is the premier luxury wedding villa in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic — the only private estate where your entire wedding party stays under one roof in 8 luxury en-suite bedrooms sleeping up to 22 guests. Set directly on Fairway 5 of the world-renowned Punta Espada Golf Course, your ceremony unfolds against a backdrop of championship greens and the Caribbean Sea.
Your dedicated personal butler manages every wedding detail from start to finish: ceremony setup on the pool terrace, a rehearsal dinner crafted by your private villa chef, morning-of champagne breakfasts, ground transport coordination, and direct relationships with Cap Cana's top local wedding vendors and planners. No outside commission fees — book directly and keep your budget where it belongs.
Plan Your WeddingThe pool terrace is your ceremony stage. Framed by tropical palms, the infinity pool, and the sweeping emerald fairway of Punta Espada Golf Course, it is one of the most photographed wedding ceremony settings in the entire Caribbean. The natural light at golden hour creates a backdrop no ballroom can replicate.
For larger weddings, the fairway lawn accommodates standing receptions and seated dinners for groups well beyond the villa's 22 overnight guests. The villa's two 6-person golf carts shuttle guests seamlessly between the villa entrance, ceremony space, and the nearby Eden Roc Beach Club.
Villa Espada is rented exclusively — meaning your wedding group has the entire private estate to yourselves for the duration of your stay. Most couples book a 3 to 5-night wedding weekend to cover arrival, rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and morning-after brunch. All food and beverage is provided at cost plus a 15% service charge through your private chef — fully transparent pricing with no hidden venue fees. For current nightly pricing, see our wedding villa rates.

Unlike a resort wedding where you are one of many events that weekend, Villa Espada is exclusively yours. No shared ballrooms, no other wedding parties, no resort noise. Your guests wake up in the villa, share breakfast on the terrace, and never have to leave the property — until they tee off on Punta Espada, one of the Caribbean's top-ranked courses. The villa also makes an ideal base for Cap Cana golf trips built around the celebration.

Yes, Villa Espada is Cap Cana's premier private wedding villa. The pool terrace, fairway lawn, and Caribbean Sea backdrop provide a stunning ceremony setting. All 8 en-suite bedrooms sleep up to 22 guests on-site, and your dedicated butler coordinates every vendor and logistical detail.
Up to 22 overnight guests across 8 private en-suite bedrooms. For larger ceremony groups, the villa grounds comfortably accommodate external guests for cocktail hours, receptions, and seated dinners, while the wedding party stays on-site.
Your wedding package at Villa Espada includes: private villa chef (rehearsal dinner, breakfast, wedding-day meals), personal butler, daily maid service, two 6-person golf carts, and private airport transfers. Food and beverage is billed at cost plus a 15% service charge for full pricing transparency. The butler also coordinates your local wedding planner, florist, photographer, and other vendors.
Villa Espada is priced per night for exclusive use of the entire property, with most wedding weekends running 3 to 5 nights depending on season. Food and beverage is billed transparently at cost plus a 15% service charge through the private chef, and nightly rates are subject to 18% Dominican Republic government tax and service. For current nightly rates and wedding weekend pricing, visit the Rates page or contact us directly; direct bookings receive priority dates and no commission markups.
Yes. Foreign nationals can legally marry in the Dominican Republic through a civil ceremony. Most couples work with a local wedding planner to prepare the required documents (passports, birth certificates, and in some cases divorce or death certificates if previously married). Your Villa Espada butler can connect you with experienced local planners who handle the paperwork end-to-end.
A wedding planner is not required but is highly recommended. The villa's personal butler handles on-property logistics, vendor scheduling, and day-of coordination. For couples who want full-service planning — including legal documentation, florals, photography, and off-site excursions — we maintain relationships with Cap Cana's top destination wedding planners and can provide introductions.
Popular dates, especially November through April (peak Caribbean season), book 9 to 14 months in advance. For more flexibility, shoulder-season weddings (May, September, October) often have availability 4 to 6 months out. We recommend inquiring early; direct bookings receive a priority date hold while you finalize details.
Villa Espada is a golf-course estate villa, not a beachfront property — your ceremony views are the spectacular fairways of Punta Espada and the Caribbean Sea beyond. For couples who also want beach access, the Eden Roc Beach Club is a short golf-cart ride away and can be incorporated into your wedding weekend itinerary.
Yes. The pool terrace serves as the ceremony space, and the same terrace or fairway lawn can be reset for a cocktail hour and seated reception. Your butler and chef team coordinate the transition. For larger receptions beyond the on-site guest count, a marquee tent can be arranged on the grounds through your wedding planner.
