Newbie Looking To Get Married In Mexico!

[veronicaisla]

Hi all...I just got engaged on New Years Day and I'm so excited/stressed in wedding planning!  My fiance and I would love a destination wedding and were looking into Cancun/Riviera Maya.  We both have big families and both have 8 groomsmen and bridesmaids, so thinking we'll have about 100 guests attending, including children.  I spoke to my wedding specialist today and she recommends Azul Fives and I have been looking at Moon Palace.  

 

Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Congrats and welcome to the site! Both of those suggestions are good ones in terms of resorts and both have a ton of information here. Definitely look through the forums for the resorts and read what past brides have had to say. I can almost guarantee that any questions you have, someone else has asked them and the answers are likely here! lol

 

Take a look through the resort reviews too. Everyone is different in terms of what they want, or what they expect but the resort reviews will give you an idea.

 

Definitely a great travel agent is a must as well. Not sure where you are but if the US, there is a fantastic TA affiliated with this site that are DW specialists - Wright Travel. If in Canada, there are different agents that the ladies have recommended.

Congrats on the engagement!!  We're doing Mexico as well, likely the Puerto/Nuevo Vallarta area, but there seems to be quite a few people going to Riviera Maya so I'm sure you'll find tons of helpful advice.  Happy planning!

Hello Veronica, 

 

 

Congrats on your engagement and welcome to the forum, you have started off on a good step by involving a specialist,  this forum has plenty of information regarding hotels in the Riviera Maya. another good family friendly hotel is Hacienda tres Rios.

 

Feel free to ask away!

 

Happy Planning!

welcome to BDW!  Azul Fives is a GREAT resort, especially with the remodel and new restaurants.

Our magnificent Mayan Riviera is an awesome choice - and has lots of great advantages, which is why it's such a popular choice for so many destination wedding couples
