Marrying in DR

Hi guys. I'd like to get married by the church in DR, and i'd love to do it on the beach. But the websites of the hotels i've seen only offer the civil ceremony on the beach (Ahmsa Marina, Viva Resorts and Karisma Villas). Do you guys know any other hotel websites that i can look at? And/or any advice on this. I rather not make a big celebration, just a small ceremony for family and closest friends. I'm dominican and he's foreigner and we're catholic.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this wasn't the right forum to post this.

By WHAT church? Will ANY church do?

If we're talking about the Catholic church your chances are slim. Much paperwork, plus you have to take some courses, plus you should marry in your place of residence, if not get permission from your parish, etc.

Yes, catholic church is what i'd like. When you say i need to marry on my place of residence you mean where i live now or in my native country?
