    Hi. Can you finalize all details of wedding at time of contract (8-10 months out) for DJ, flowers, etc. I am planning an Aug 2024 wedding and the first resort said they could not finalize prices until 3 months out! They also could not guarantee a price change range. Obv I can’t plan a wedding with no idea of final cost. Pleas help!!

      Hi Judy. Because it’s next year, you usually cannot finalize more than 6-3 months before the wedding date. But we definitely know of a few resorts that are willing to plan far out…. if the bride knows exactly what she wants. We’ll have have a planner call you to review some options.

    Hello!

    We’d like to plan a destination wedding in Riviera Maya, but are concerned with hotel room charges for our guests. Are there wedding packages available that include rooms for our guests?

    Thanks!
