12 Comments

 
Get the entire destination wedding experience with these free packages available at some of our favorite all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean! Qualifying is easy... most require just 10 rooms. We know the ins and outs of all the resorts and their wedding packages, so before going down the wedding package rabbit hole, connect with us so we can recommend the best options based on your needs. It's what we do!

El Dorado & Generations Resorts "Everlasting Love" Destination Wedding Package

In addition to El Dorado Resorts and Generations Resorts incredible vacation experiences, the Everlasting Love package is just another perk of having your destination wedding here. Not only does the package include everything from the expert wedding designers, to the white ceremony décor and sound systems, but you’ll also be provided with a ceremony officiant, a marriage certificate, a getting-ready room, a semi-private dinner reception, and to top it off, a complimentary honeymoon package. 

PRO TIP:  "Semi-private" means a reservation in one of the resort's restaurants, sectioned off for your group, creating a "semi-private" atmosphere. There will be other resort guests in the restaurant with you. "Private" means you choose the venue, menu, decor and entertainment, and only your wedding guests are in attendance. 
​

Hard Rock Hotel’s “Complimentary" Destination Wedding Package

Enjoy a simple and elegant matrimonial backdrop for your special day with a Hard Rock Hotel Complimentary wedding package. The natural sand isle, white seating and floral arrangements will perfectly compliment each other while you say “I do.” A few additional perks include a 1-tiered wedding cake, a bridal bouquet, sparkling wine, and a wedding registry, not to mention a pre-arrival and on-site wedding planner that will work with you from start to finish.
​

The “Compliments Of” Collection by Palace Resorts

Known for their elegance, beachy neutrals, and customizable wedding packages, Palace Resorts is definitely one of our favorite options. The “Compliments Of Palace Resorts” collection includes everything from the gazebo and setup, to the décor, floral arrangements, honeymoon package, and breakfast in bed the next morning. What more could you ask for in a destination wedding? Additional details may vary depending on location. Just ask us which one is right for you!

9 Common Destination Wedding Questions Guests Ask

12/31/2023

0 Comments

 
You asked, we answered. Here are 9 common questions wedding guests ask when they get the invite to your destination wedding:
Wedding reception setup on a beach in front of the ocean.

1. “When should I book by?”

The couple’s wedding website should indicate your booking deadline, but if you want the most options with the best rates, it’s best to book early. Since the bride and groom need to know who is attending in order to plan seating and meals, we recommend you make your room deposit as soon as you get the invitation, but at the minimum, book at least 6 months ahead so they can plan their wedding accordingly. ​

2. “What’s the best way to book my trip?”

Most couples will provide you with specific booking details via their wedding website. This should include the room information and either prices or a quote form to fill out and submit to us. Amenities are based on how many rooms are booked, so making your reservations on time through the couple’s travel agent is important. It’s also important to book your rooms as soon as you know you can attend, so the couple isn’t scrambling to get things together at the last minute. Be kind, book early! ​

3. “How much will this cost?”

Room rates are usually posted onto the couple’s wedding website. Occasionally, instead of rates, you’ll find a quote request form. To get an accurate quote from us, you’ll need to fill out and submit the form and we’ll reply with a custom quote. The more details you can provide, like how many nights you plan on staying, or where you’re flying from, will help us give you a more accurate cost. Typically for guests, a destination wedding can cost from $1,000-$1,500 per person depending on some of the details noted above. This covers your flights, accommodations, and food/drink for 3 or 4 nights. ​

4. “What if I can’t afford it?”

The bride and groom understand not everyone will be able to make the trip. Just be sure to let them know as soon as you can. ​

5. “Is there anything that’s not included”?

Although tips are technically included in your resort package, you’ll want to bring some 1’s and 5’s for the bartenders and servers taking care of you throughout your stay. Keep in mind, your shuttle driver isn’t a part of the resort staff, so bring some cash for your transfer driver. Additional excursions or spa treatments are also not included and can be paid with a credit card at the hotel. ​

6. “What if I find a cheaper price online?”

We work hard to ensure you receive the best rates possible. If you do happen to find a more affordable option online, just let us know and we’ll see if we can get the same price. This allows us to include you with the rest of the wedding party, so you all get the same group benefits. ​

7. “What should I wear to the wedding?”

Be sure to dress light and breezy, since the air will be warm and humid. For the ladies, nice sundress or capris with sandals is ideal. For the men, khaki slacks, linen shirts, and nice sandals as well. You won’t see many suits or ties, so unless otherwise noted by the bride and groom, keep it simple. If you’re still unsure what to wear, be sure to ask the couple for suggestions. ​

8. “Should I bring a gift?”

Gifts are not necessary for a destination wedding. Some couples tell their guests making the trip out is a gift in itself, but a card is still a nice touch. We can always add a tour or spa treatment to the couple’s itinerary, if you want to give them something to enjoy at the resort. Otherwise, boxed gifts or cards with money should be given to them once you return home. ​

9. “What if I run into problems?”

The best thing to do if you run into room or flight issues is to come to us! We are available by phone or email and our travel partners have 24/7 help desks you have access to. Please avoid getting the couple involved, as they will already have enough on their plate. Just be polite and patient, and things will get worked out as soon as possible. 

We hope these destination wedding FAQs helped clarify any questions you may have had. For further questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected], and we’d be happy to assist!

Why Choose a Destination Wedding?

Embarking on the journey of a destination wedding, particularly for Indian and South Asian couples, opens a world of beauty, ease, and unforgettable memories. Hyatt Ziva Cancun, with its stunning location and comprehensive wedding packages, stands as an ideal choice for your dream wedding. We’re here to help you explore more about this enchanting venue and show you just how perfect it can be for your wedding day. Remember, at Romance Travel Group, your dream wedding is not just a plan; it's a promise.

Unparalleled Cost Value Compared to Traditional Weddings

When planning your special day, the cost is a significant factor. Destination weddings, especially at all-inclusive resorts like Hyatt Ziva Cancun, offer incredible value. Why? Because they combine wedding expenses with the beauty of a vacation. Traditional Indian weddings can be very expensive affairs, often involving multiple events over several days. By choosing a destination wedding, you're effectively blending the costs of these events with the resort stay, often resulting in savings. Additionally, all-inclusive packages at Hyatt Ziva Cancun include various amenities, from exquisite catering to decor, reducing the need for external vendors.

Vacation with Your Guests for 3-4 Days

Imagine celebrating your love not just on your wedding day but extending the joy over 3-4 days of vacationing with your closest friends and family. A destination wedding at Hyatt Ziva Cancun transforms your special day into a mini-holiday for you and your guests. This extended time together creates deeper bonds and memories that last a lifetime. It's not just a wedding; it's a vacation, a reunion, and a celebration all rolled into one.

Gorgeous Wedding Photos with a Stunning Backdrop

Your wedding photos are treasures that last a lifetime. With breathtaking beaches, lush gardens, and stunning architecture, a beach wedding provides the perfect backdrop for your memory album. Imagine capturing your moments with the turquoise Caribbean Sea, the soft white sands, and the vibrant Mexican sunsets. These natural settings enhance the beauty of traditional Indian wedding attire, creating a contrast that is both striking and elegant.

Why a Destination Wedding?

​Are you dreaming of a magical wedding that blends tradition with a touch of the exotic? If so, let’s talk about why a destination wedding, particularly at the enchanting Generations and El Dorado Royale Resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico, could be your dream come true.

More Affordable Than Traditional Weddings

​Firstly, did you know that destination weddings are a much better value than traditional weddings? Yes, it's true! By choosing a resort wedding, you can save significantly. How? These resorts offer various wedding packages that consolidate major expenses like venues, catering, and décor into one cost-effective bundle. So, not only do you get to tie the knot in a tropical paradise, but you also do so without breaking the bank!

Spend 3-4 Days with Guests

Weddings are not just about the couple; they’re about celebrating with those you love. Traditional weddings often whirl by in a few hours, leaving little time to truly connect with your guests. But imagine, instead, spending 3 to 4 relaxing days surrounded by your nearest and dearest in a breathtaking locale. A destination wedding at Generations or El Dorado Royale Resorts turns your special day into a mini-vacation for everyone filled with all the events, celebrations and traditions. It's a chance to create deeper bonds and make memories that last a lifetime, all while basking in the beauty of Mexico.

Wedding Date: December 3, 2023 ~ Resort: El Dorado Royale / Generations ~ Photographer: Off The Rail Photography ~ Videographer: Lux Like Art ~ Bridal Gown: Bel Fiore Bridal  ~ Tux Salon: Men's Warehouse
Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We chose Romance Travel after we did some research on travel companies for destination weddings and had a discussion with Shelli, we knew we needed to work with them. Shelli was straightforward and really helpful in giving the overall view of how the process works and the relief they take off of the bride when it comes to planning and talking with the resorts. 

What led you to choose a destination wedding?
We ultimately chose a destination wedding because we felt we were getting more bang for our buck in getting a whole weekend experience for ourselves and our guests. This also gave an opportunity for our guests to make a vacation out of it as well.

How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
We selected our resort based off of the options the Shelli gave us. We chose our resort due to the location and the perks that came along with our wedding package. We also chose based on the size of the resort because we knew we would have a pretty big wedding for a destination and we were going to have a few kids in our wedding and Generations was the perfect fit for that.

Real Wedding: Inbal & Bridger at El Dorado Royale
Why did you choose Romance Travel Group? 
We chose Romance Travel Group because I felt like they cared about their clients and their clients' guests, and I felt really comfortable with them after the initial call, I felt like they knew what they were doing.

What led you to choose a destination wedding? 
I have always dreamt of a destination wedding, going on vacation to celebrate our wedding in Mexico with family and friends has always been a dream of mine, and was the absolute best decision ever.

How did you come to decide on your wedding date? Is there meaning behind it? 
We chose our date based on the time of year. We didn’t want it around spring break time, or high season for hurricanes and everyone on summer vacation.  Hurricane season ends in October so we decided on November, and we chose a Monday so people could travel on a Saturday or Sunday.

​
Describe what it was like working with the wedding coordinator at the resort? What went well? Any challenges? 
I really thought the whole process was very easy, we did a lot of emailing and messaging on WhatsApp. In the beginning communication was slow which I was understanding of since they do so many weddings, but I wasn’t worried. The 3 months leading up to the wedding communication was very quick. I would send pictures of my inspiration and they provided everything.

Real Wedding: Gabby & Humberto at The Fives Beach

​Wedding Date: October 21, 2023 ~ Resort: The Fives Beach ~ Photographer: Dream Bella Photography ~ Videographer: Timeless Photography & Film ~ Bridal Gown: Bridal Boutique of Lewisville  ~ Tux Salon: The Black Tux
Real Wedding: Gabby & Humberto at The Fives Beach
What led you to a destination wedding?
We chose a destination wedding because of a trip we took together to Cancun back in 2022. It was Gabby's first time traveling out of the country and we had the most fun trip ever, and knew we wanted to relive the fun whenever we got married. We knew to keep it small with just close loved ones and were so happy we did!

How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
We were presented with a wonderful document put together by Romance Travel Group that outlined great resorts - they broke down room rates, resort amenities, wedding packages and more. We narrowed it down to 3 of the approximately 10 sent to us. We went to visit each hotel and we felt the wedding locations at the Fives matched our preferences the best. Along with that, their wedding team was wonderful, room rates were reasonable, and we loved the atmosphere!

Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We sought out Romance Travel Group after an unpleasant experience with a family friend recommended to us. They had raving reviews online, so we decided to set up an intro call. Abigail was incredibly professional on our phone call and gave us amazing details on what to expect when working with them - things such as involvement in rooming lists, transportation, cancellation policies, credits, amenities, etc. We had a great feeling from the start and felt we would be in good hands for the planning, and we certainly were!
