DESTINATION WEDDINGS FAQ

What is included in your fees?

We offer the ultimate convenience by blending the expertise of a local team in Cancún with the reliability of a U.S.-based travel agency.

  • Destination Wedding Travel Services $499: This service is perfect for all-inclusive resort weddings. We streamline the initial phase by providing venue suggestions, managing the contract process, handling all group travel arrangements (flights, accommodations, airport transfers), managing your RSVP list, and creating a personalized wedding website. The resort’s wedding team manages the on-site coordination.
  • Full Wedding Planning Services (Starting at $2,900): This package includes everything in our Travel Services, plus complete wedding design and execution for your event. We handle all vendor sourcing and contract management, provide timeline development, and deliver seamless on-site coordination for all wedding events. This is the ideal service for any type of luxury wedding venue, including resorts, private estates, villas, and cenotes.

How do we choose the right resort or venue?

We make choosing your perfect Cancun or Riviera Maya wedding venue easy and stress-free!

We offer personalized Wedding Venue Site Tours designed to maximize your time. We will take you to visit potential wedding venues over one or two days. We handle all the logistics, from planning your trip and  itinerary to securing appointments with the resort teams. Our Site Inspection Fee is $399, which is fully refundable when you contract our full planning or travel agency services.

If you can’t visit in person, that’s no problem! We provide a customized shortlist of options, detailed photos, current packages, or even a live video tour of your favorites.

What is the best time of year to get married in Cancun and Riviera Maya?

Choosing the right date is crucial for both weather and budget!

  • Best Weather & Popular Dates: The most popular months for weddings are January to March (early April) and October to early December.
  • High Season Rates: Expect the highest rates of the year starting the second week of December until March, as this is considered high season.
  • Best Rates: Couples seeking the best value for their guests should target the shoulder-season months of September to November.
  • Summer Concerns: The summer months (June, July, August, and part of September) are generally the rainiest and can be very hot. This is also when you’re most likely to encounter seaweed (sargassum)on the beaches.

Rest assured, all the wedding venues we recommend offer a “Plan B” or backup location in case of rain. We’ll help you choose the best time of year based on your specific needs and priorities.

Do you offer partial planning if I have already booked my venue and room block?

Via Destination Weddings specializes in offering full-service planning and travel agency services together, as one complete package. Our comprehensive fee is structured to cover the significant administrative work of securing and managing the entire group room block and vendor logistics simultaneously.

Since we do not offer services that separate the vendor management from the guest travel logistics, we are unfortunately not the best fit for couples who have already contracted their room block or secured their venue without our assistance.

TRAVEL AGENCY FAQ

Do you offer packages with the resort and flights included?

Absolutely! As a full-service travel agency, we streamline your entire vacation experience. We can offer you the best available rates and benefits for complete travel packages to Mexico, which include your accommodations, round-trip flights, airport transfers, travel insurance and excursions or tours.

If we want to travel to Cancun, can we only book the resort with you, without the flights and transportation? We would like to take a taxi from the airport.

Absolutely! We are happy to book just the resort for you. However, we highly recommend booking your airport transfers or car rental in advance.

Unfortunately, the arrivals gate at the Cancun airport is often congested with time-share representatives, making it very confusing to distinguish them from legitimate taxi services. Additionally, services like Uber are currently not permitted to operate directly from the Cancun International Airport. Booking your transfers ahead of time ensures a smooth and stress-free arrival.

I want to travel with my family for my birthday. Can we get a discount for a small group?

Yes, absolutely! We specialize in securing excellent discounts and added benefits for groups. We can generally secure valuable discounts and perks for reservations of five rooms or more. Just let us know your travel dates, and we’ll start building a custom package for your celebration!
