5 Reasons to have an Azul Beach Riviera Cancun Wedding

5/24/2019

0 Comments

 
Known for its noteworthy service, exceptional cuisine, and breathtaking location, an Azul Beach Riviera Cancun wedding is a no-brainer! Here are 5 reasons to consider tying the knot here
Great Location
Azul Beach Riviera Cancun is perfectly situated in the beautiful, Bahia Petempich of Mexico. It’s also about 20 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes from downtown Cancun! Here, wedding goers will soak up the sun on the expansive white sand beach, where views of turquoise waters stretch out for miles. Truly an ideal backdrop to say, “I do!”
 
Multi-Generational
Between the Kids’ Club, Teens’ Club, baby amenities, and My Gym Program, your guests with children will certainly be well-entertained at this incredible property! In addition, everyone will have a chance attend cooking classes, try out their yoga skills, watch live shows, and so much more!
 
All-Inclusive
When you stay at Azul Beach Riviera Cancun, gourmet cuisine, premium drinks, personalized services, and all sorts of fun family activities are included! And just like any of Karisma’s luxury resorts, you and your wedding guests will receive a full-service concierge at your disposal and plenty of mouth-watering dining options, including 24-hour room service!
 
Gourmet Experience
With 8 fully-equipped kitchens run by the world’s top chefs and mixologists, you’re bound to find a variety of international cuisine to delight the entire family (yes, even the kids!) Enjoy an unlimited selection of premium drink brands, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, as well as a minibar in your room, which is fully-stocked every day!
 
Free Wedding Package
​
On top of Karisma’s all-inclusive luxury, the “Always & Forever Package” is just another perk of having your destination wedding at Azul Beach Riviera Cancun. Not only does it include the wedding planners and ceremony officiant, but you’ll be able to choose things like décor and sound systems, a cocktail party, a honeymoon package, just to name a few. Ask us to see how you qualify for this ultra-romantic wedding package!

Real Wedding: Amanda and Andrew's Destination Wedding

Real Wedding: Amanda and Andrew's Destination Wedding
We highly recommend these wedding/travel planning angels! Romance Travel Group was amazing and so incredibly organized! They are true professionals at what they do. They helped us pick a resort for our destination wedding as the first and most important step to planning a destination wedding. I had independently researched over 100 resorts and was feeling so lost as to how to facilitate a destination wedding. I reached out to Romance Travel Group online and got a response within 2 hours!

Shelli asked what were our top priorities for a resort and sent us a list of her top 10 picks. 
The resorts they work with are luxury and inspected personally by their team frequently. From that list we chose Azul Beach Riviera Cancun and to be married on top of the hotel skydeck!

The Azul Beach Riviera Cancun resort is part of the Karisma chain and was the most fantastic and beautiful resort any of us had experienced. I would recommend this resort to any bride, as they know exactly what they are doing with weddings and they made our special day better than a dream come true. We cannot express enough gratitude to the staff at Azul for making us and our guests feel like royalty.

Shelli made us a website so we sent out a save the date with the link and our guests had all the info they needed to book and get the travel in order. Shelli and her team took all of the stress off of us organizing all of the travel and setting up everything with the resort. She negotiated a contract with the resort for us and so we knew what to expect and knew everything was in order. Shelli and Heather with Romance Travel Group took excellent care of our wedding planning, travel and guests start to finish.

I really do not know how we would have done it without them. We will 100% be using Romance Travel Group in the future for our vacations. We cannot thank you enough!

Mistakes to Avoid When Planning Your Destination Wedding

5/3/2019

0 Comments

 
It is easy to lose yourself in wedding planning, isn’t it? One thing turns into another and pretty soon, your simple beach wedding has gotten a little outta control. Let’s help you wrangle your wedding back into place. Here are 6 mistakes you can avoid to ensure your destination wedding runs as smoothly as possible
Picture
No Plan B
Chances are, if you’re having a destination wedding, you’re probably having it outdoors, on the beach or in a garden. With tropical climates, sporadic rain showers are to be expected. Be sure to discuss back up locations with your wedding coordinator. Most resorts have a Plan B ready for you just in case. Of course, no one ever hopes for rain on their wedding day (hey, it’s supposed to be good luck, right?), but at least you have an option in case mother nature decides to strike.
 
Overdone Themes
What we love most about a beach wedding is the simplicity of it all. The tall swaying palms, the clear blue water and sugar white sand provide the best décor of all! Don’t spend too much time focusing on if you have enough seashell décor on the tables or if the colors of your napkin rings are just right. Keep things simple, elegant and beautiful. Your guests will be focused on much more important things… like you getting married!
 
Ignoring Guests’ Comfort
It’s easy to get wrapped up in all the things that go into planning a wedding. But don’t let your guests’ comfort fall short! Consider things like temperature and time in between the ceremony and reception to make the process more enjoyable for them. Some ideas we’ve seen include leaving paper fans on each guest’s seat so they can keep cool, or providing refreshments and snacks when you’re taking photos.
 
Footwear & Attire
Don’t make the mistake of purchasing a heavy ball gown and 6-inch heels for your beach wedding. The material will not only weigh you down, but be incredibly hot for the environment you’re in. You’ll also want to make sure your resort provides some sort of flooring if you’re heart is set on stilettos. Otherwise, your best bet is a pretty sandal as you make your way down the sandy aisle. Likewise, really consider some unique alternatives to the traditional groomsman tux rental. Choose wedding day fashions that complement your ceremony location.
 
Wrong Location
The location of your destination wedding is imperative. Too exotic = too expensive. The ideal location allows guests to comfortably travel for 4 days. Do you need to accommodate guests with small children? Then, you’ll want a great family resort. Do you want a luxurious and sophisticated affair without the noisy kiddos? Then, think adult-only. Are customizable wedding packages a must? Well…we can think of a few ideas! Whatever it is, be sure to work with a destination wedding expert, as they’ve personally visited all of the most popular locations. We promise, using a pro will make things so much easier, and save you time and money.
 
Do-It-Yourself Wedding
Is it possible to have a DIY destination wedding? Sure. But the bigger question is... why would you want to??? Your wedding is the perfect time to NOT do it all by yourself. The person who will help you the most, who will assist all your guests, who will oversee the details and make sure you have everything perfectly in place and will be your sole go-to person while you are in the destination, is your wedding travel agent! Trust us, this is the one day you do not want to DIY anything.
