Real Wedding:  Jennifer & Cesar at Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We chose Romance Travel Group because they had great reviews as well as connections to resorts in Mexico. After speaking with Shelli on the phone we felt relieved that we had a company that could navigate setting up our room block and take one major task off of our plate. Shelli was personable and very easy to communicate with. 

How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
Romance Travel Group provided us a selection of resorts along with a pros and cons list for each. We knew we wanted a beach ceremony and so we looked to see which resort had the best beach. We wanted a resort with friendly staff and that had something for people of all ages to do.  We also wanted a resort that had an adults only section since we wanted to stay there for our honeymoon and this resort had an adults only tower.  After reading reviews, watching YouTube videos and looking in destination Facebook groups we decided to go with the Hyatt Ziva Cancun. 

Were there any objections from your wedding guests about your decision to have a destination wedding? If so, how did you handle overcome those?
Thankfully we had no objections. Everyone was so excited that more people than we expected booked for our wedding.  All of guest saw this as an opportunity for a vacation.  

What were some of your biggest fears about having a destination wedding?
My biggest fear was the resort not looking as it did in the pictures and videos. This resort lives up to the pictures and videos.  Also having to put a 100% trust into the vendors you choose and hope that they see your vision as you do. Our photographer was also phenomenal and exceeded our expectations.  

Describe what it was like working with the wedding coordinator at the resort? What went well? Any challenges?
Our wedding coordinator from the resort was very pleasant to work with.  She sent us a master planner with four main categories and that’s what we used to plan the wedding. The planner was helpful and very simple to use. She was friendly and closer towards our wedding date she started a WhatsApp chat with us in case we had any last minute questions.

Real Wedding: Charlotte & Brittany at El Dorado Royale

Wedding Date: September 29, 2023 ~ Resort: El Dorado Royale ~ Wedding Planner: Claudia García Exclusive Weddings & Events ~ Photographer/Videographer: AMO Studio MX ~ Beauty: Sara Tamargo ~ DJ: DJ Party Rod ~ Bridal Gown: Lily's Bridal Outlet  ~ Tux Salon: Indochino
Real Wedding: Charlotte & Brittany at El Dorado Royale
Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We chose Romance Travel Group because we did a ton of research and we found that Romance Travel Group had great reviews on social media from past wedding couples and they provided all the services we needed for our wedding including the fact that they have had past experience with weddings in the Cancun area.

What led you to choose a destination wedding?
We chose a destination wedding due to the fact that we both love to travel and a traditional wedding in the USA was not something that we wanted.

How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
We selected El Dorado Royale largely due to the fact that they had allowed and performed LGBTQ weddings prior to ours and it made us very comfortable. There were a few other resorts that also could have been good options for LGBTQ wedding but this resort caught our eye with past couples displaying their pictures and experiences on social media pages. This resort offers 3 "resorts" in one with an adult only side, another adult only side but more of a romantic vibe where you get your own casita, and then a kid friendly side which offered many food options between all three. They gave many different options of where to have our wedding within the resort as well including beach options, indoor options, and a skydeck option. We ended up getting married on the beach.

Were there any objections from your wedding guests about your decision to have a destination wedding? If so, how did you handle overcome those?
We had no objections from our guests. When planning our wedding, we knew it was a cost for people so we didn't hold it against anyone who couldn't travel due to money or health concerns. For those we really wanted there, we added in our budget to assist those people to get to our wedding.
