Riu Palace Cabo ~ October 2018 ~ Photographer Website: Nikki B Photography ~ Photographer Facebook: Nikki B Photography
Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
I began planning my wedding two years in advance with Romance Travel Group. Shelli was wonderful to work with from the start and got the ball rolling right away. I was also pleased that she never tried to change my mind or sell me on a different hotel.
How was the planning process in the beginning?
At that time, the hotel had not yet begun officially booking wedding dates for 2018, but Shelli put me in contact with my wedding coordinator right away and helped me negotiate an excellent rate. Shelli, and later Heather as well, answered every single email I sent. Even when I received an out-of-office reply, I still quickly got a response.
What was it like working with Shelli and Heather during the planning process?
I made lots of mistakes in relaying information for my large party, and the two of them always corrected it without ever seeming the slightest bit inconvenienced. As the big day got closer, Shelli and Heather double-checked with me to make sure I was in touch with the florist and the spa at the resort. Romance Travel was like an extra bonus set of wedding coordinators. They even sent gifts and swag along the way, which I thought was really sweet!
Tell us about your wedding destination and resort.
Fast forward two years, my husband, 18 of our friends and family members, and I trekked down to the Riu Palace in Cabo. It was a beautiful resort. The wedding ceremony and the service were better than I ever could have dreamed. I spent months obsessing over details, but none of that was really necessary—the setting was stunning, and the staff was incredibly skilled at putting on a great wedding.
Did Romance Travel Group assist with the travel logistics?
Yes! They arranged our airport transportation, and when we arrived we were offered a private transfer as the bride and groom. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were also given an upgraded room with a better view on the 4th floor. The food was excellent, and the staff was wonderful. There were a few unrelated hiccups with the room and return transportation, but the Riu staff and Amstar staff corrected them quickly and easily.
How did you handle beauty services, photography, and travel?
Hair, make-up, and photography were provided by guests of the wedding, which made everything simple (thank you Tiffany Gunia and Nikki B Photography!). Alaska Airlines was also wonderful in arranging a group discount code for my guests and rescheduling flights as needed. The customer service was excellent.
Did you and your guests enjoy any excursions?
Yes! While in Cabo we went on an “Outdoor Adventure” excursion with Cabo Adventures, a Migrino Beach ATV tour with Amigo Tours, and a glass bottom boat tour with Roger’s Boat Tours. All were wonderful. My husband said to me, “We do one thing that is fun, and then the next thing is even better.” All of my guests had such a great time in Cabo.
What was the best part of your wedding experience?
The setting, the staff, and the overall experience were beyond my expectations. I could not have pulled this off without the help of Romance Travel Group.
Would you recommend Romance Travel Group to other couples?
Absolutely! I sincerely recommend them for booking any kind of travel and hope to use them for future travel plans as well.
Congratulations Marci & Chris!
