So what exactly are these critera? First of all, the wedding destination that you choose has to be able to hold all your guests. The rule of thumb is that if you are going to invite 150-170 guests, you should get a venue for 200 people. This is to ensure that you do not host a cramped wedding. This is also to make up for guests who will bring in unexpected guests with them. Your wedding destination should also be affordable. It would not do you and your partner good if you bankrupt yourselves for one event. Driving yourself into debt is not a good first step towards married life!
Of course, it goes without saying that your wedding destination should also be breathtakingly beautiful. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you want to ensure that you get the perfect wedding photos to show your kids.
One Frequently Asked Question of tourists when they are looking for wedding destinations in Mexico is “What is the difference between Cancun and Punta Cana?” Cancun Resorts are more commercialized as they are in the more populated areas of Mexico while Punta Cana Wedding Resorts have a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. Keep this in mind during your decision making.
Below we have listed the top 6 resorts for a dream destination wedding in Mexico:
Royalton Riviera Cancun
The Royalton Riviera Cancun is for the couple who wants to experience a lavish royal treatment. The hotel itself offers five destination wedding packages for you to choose from depending on how luxurious you want your wedding to be. The property also has 9 restaurants, 13 bars, a waterpark for children, a casino, a gelato bar, and more. This ensures that all your guests no matter what their preferences are will have a good time. There is also a 10% discount to all the guests when they decide to avail of the resort’s spa services.Despite the seemingly luxurious and VIP treatment, the Royalton Riviera Cancun is still an affordable venue. The refined wedding package in the Royalton Riviera Cancun is only $4,900, a far cry from the usual 5 digits that couples spend just for their wedding venue.
The Hilton Resort
While most resorts in Mexico are remote and separated away from everything else, the Hilton Resort is much more accessible. Unlike the majority of the resorts in Mexico where you either have to take a cab or rent a car to get to the nearest town or city, the Hilton Resort is just a few minutes of walk away from the famous 5th Avenue. It is also just shy of a half an hour drive from the Cancun International Airport ensuring that all your guests get a good amount of rest once they fly in.Unlike the populated city of Cancun, Playa del Carmen is much smaller and thus have a more relaxed vibe. Surrounded by bars, shops, restaurants, and museums, it is guaranteed that you and your guests will have the time of your lives. The Hilton offers 4 wedding packages for you and your groom or bride to choose from.
On average, couples spend $ 4,745 at The Hilton for their wedding package which is still much more affordable and cheaper than most of the wedding venues in the US. The catch with The Hilton though which counts both as an advantage and a disadvantage is that it is an adults-only hotel. If you and your guests don’t want to be disturbed by rambunctious children then this is definitely the hotel for you. The hotel across can accommodate your guests with children and they will be allowed access into the premises during the wedding ceremony.
Cabanas La Luna
Cabanas La Luna is perfect for couples who want nothing fancy. You can have your simple wedding straight on the sands of the beach of Tulum. Be warned though that in order for your beach wedding to happen, you need to pay a $400 permit - a small amount as compared to the money you have to shell out for a hotel.Cabanas La Luna is in an undeveloped town which is great for nature lovers who just wants a simple celebration. Another plus for this tropical fantasy is that it is very much self-sufficient generating its own electricity and water.
Akumal Bay Beach Resort
