Look all through the living forum that is where people ask about jobs and what they pay. The best paying job in a resort might pay about 10,000 pesos a month which is about 300 US.

You may want to look into wedding planner.

Look in our new employment forum that might be a better forum to ask.

You should tell us about him.
A Canadian woman marrying a guy from Puerto Plata is sure to get the attention of the DR1 peanut gallery.

Congratulations and good luck with the job search.:classic:
