Category: Our ResortsApril 25th 2024Back to our Sandals Blog > > >
The beach is a world of endless possibilities for kids, and it is super fun as well! This is why beaches or even just beach themes add such a thrill to children’s parties. For a beach party for kids, whether you choose to go to an actual beach or create a beach theme at home, it’s always good to incorporate as many oceanic elements as possible. To help you plan, we’ve compiled a list of tips and ideas to pull off the ultimate beach-themed children’s party!
Expert tip: If you want to take your child’s beach birthday party to another level consider a beach vacation to an exotic island like Jamaica or Turks & Caicos where your beach theme will flow naturally!
Beach theme ideas…
If you’ve got a beach party in mind and you’re looking for a fun theme, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some ideas that you can get creative with for your child’s beach party:
Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.
1. Under the sea
Ocean themes always have a little magic to them. If you put together the right elements, you’ll have something truly enchanting that your child will love. There are many areas of inspiration parents can play around with for this theme. Movies like ‘Finding Nemo’, ‘The Little Mermaid’ and others can provide some insight into what can be included in this theme.
Consider your child’s preferences when it comes to what sea creatures will be highlighted and even think about whether there’s a particular beach activity, they love that can also be showcased. Overall, just focus on making your child’s guests feel like they’re immersed in the wondrous world of the undersea!

2. Beach luau
It’ll be fun getting everything set up for a traditional beach luau party that you can have in your own backyard. All you’ll need is some grass skirts, leis, flowers, and any other décor, lively music, entertainment, and some beachy eats and drinks and you’ll be all set for this super exciting occasion. Both kids and adults will be able to get into the fun at your family beach luau and you’ll all have memories that will stick around!
3. Fun on the sand
Sun, sea, and sand are always a great combination for fun times. For a birthday, this can be even more so. A birthday beach trip with the family will give you lots of time to plan ahead, particularly in terms of the activities kids can get up to while out on the seashore. You can choose a local beach or opt to head further out for an even more incredible time.
The best thing about this type of beach party is that it doesn’t even need to be hosted on a typical beach �' a breezy stretch of sand will be enough to organize your set up and for the kids to have a good time. If you really want to take your child’s beach party to the next level, you can consider heading to a beach like
4. Beach BBQ
A beach barbeque is a great option for a birthday event or just a relaxed family get-together. For a birthday, there are many beaches you can find with their own barbeque pits, and this will take away some of the hassles that can come with bringing your own grill though some families may prefer that option. If you want to arrange a beach barbeque on a public or private beach, make sure to check the regulations before you go.
Invite ideas….
The next step after you’ve selected your theme will be creating an invite list. For the most part, parents of younger kids will be responsible for the actual list of invitees. Kids can get involved with the creation of invitations or simply with choosing which beachy invites they’d like to send out.
1. Printed on a flip-flop
Beach themes are super fun because they leave room for lots of possibilities in terms of invite style. One of the possible options will be flip-flop invites, which will basically consist of invites written on actual flip-flops.
Flip flops are pretty low cost with a pair often available for $1 USD or less. Every pair will give you 2 invites, so you’ll just need to take a look at your invite list to decide how many to purchase. Keep in mind that buying in bulk can save you money. Get your kids into the creative process of designing the invites. If you’d prefer a less bulky invitation option, consider using cut-out flip-flop invites which might be easier to mail out.
2. Big shells
Shell invites are another possibility. You can use large shells for this option - these are fairly easy to find at dollar stores or craft shops. If local beach regulations allow it, you may even be able to pick up some shells from the beach as well. The size of the shell will determine how big the invite details will need to be written, with smaller shells calling for smaller print. If you like the shell option but need more space, you can cut out your own shell shapes from sparkly paper and design your invites from these.
3. Beach ball invites
Next up … beach balls. This is a fun beach invite option because most kids will get excited from the moment, they receive the invite. Your beach ball invite can work in a way that invitees need to blow up the ball in order to see the details of the party. This means you’ll have to include a little card with instructions along with the beach ball.
For the beach ball invite idea to be a success, you’ll need to find a company that is able to print details on beach balls. You can also write the information on the side of the ball yourself. If you wind up writing the birthday details on the balls manually, do this when the balls are inflated. Wait for the ink to dry then deflate ahead of sending out your beach ball invites.
4. Paper with a ‘grass skirt’
Grass skirt invites are the next possible option. These are ideal for a luau-style beach party, but they can be used for many other beach party themes as well. You can either find invites that already include the grass skirt theme, or DIY by gluing a ‘grass skirt’ in an appropriate place on the card, like to the bottom. Kids can get involved in creating these invites by helping to cut out the strips for the grass skirts if they decide to make it into a project.
5. Sea creature invites
Sea creatures can be an interesting feature on an invite that will for sure grab the attention of your guests. Depending on what your child prefers -- tropical fish, dolphins, sharks, jellyfish, or even coral, these can be included in the design of this invite. The sea creature invite can also be turned into a craft project with your kids as they cut out paper sea creatures or do some coloring to make their invites stand out. If you decide to make these invites yourself with your kids, a good option is cutouts of sea creatures that you can later color with them. You will then be able to write all the party details on the cutouts before sending them out.
6. Message in a bottle
Who wouldn’t want to receive a secret message in a bottle only to find out it is an invitation to what promises to be an exciting beach party? Your kids and their friends will certainly love this idea, and all you’ll need is some paper, pens, and some bottles from the craft or dollar store (or bottles you’ve saved up) to get started. For added effect, throw in things like colored sand and craft shells which will really add to the overall beach theme of your child’s party. The invite details can be written on a piece of paper, rolled up, and inserted into the bottle along with the sand and shells.

all-inclusive resorts in Ocho Rios Jamaica andNegril Jamaica resorts are great options for some birthday fun.
Food and drink ideas…
The type of food you select for your child’s beach party can add to your overall beach party theme. Here are a few of our favorite food and drink ideas for a beach-themed party!
1. Sea jello
Jello is a simple and fun treat you can include on your child’s party menu not only because it is fun to eat, but because it can be used effectively for a beach party theme. As there are many colors of Jello to choose from, you can make ocean colors and even add candy or small crackers with marine animal shapes. If you decide to make a ‘Jello ocean’, you can use cracker crumbs or another tasty alternative as sand!
2. Sea slushies
Slushies are another treat kids will love at a birthday celebration. These are easy to make and perfect for cooling down on a hot day, which makes them ideal for anything beach related. Even if it isn’t that hot, for instance, if your child’s beach birthday party isn’t in the summertime, everyone will still be able to appreciate the burst of deliciousness that slushies bring.
Expert tip: Cater to the adults at the party by adding a bit of alcohol to blue, icy drinks along with a cocktail umbrella for a beachy treat!
3. Fish or flip-flop-shaped cookies
Cookies are a sure way to please kids and they’re worth including on your child’s party menu as there are just so many flavors and designs you can choose from. They’re also easy to get as you can simply pick some up in the store or bake them yourself. For a beach party theme, you might want to focus on getting cookies with oceanic themes �' from fun and mystical sea creatures to flip-flops and umbrellas!
4. Beach theme cupcakes
The cake tends to be the center of attention at kids’ parties and for your child’s beach birthday party you’ll have a choice to make. Do you want a large traditional cake, cupcakes, or both? Whichever option you go with you’ll need to make sure your child’s cake fits into the overall beach theme. Avoid excessive icing if the weather will be hot, particularly on larger cakes. Cupcakes tend to fare better as it is easier to get these into a cooled box particularly if a beach trip is part of the party plans. Kids also tend to get a little more excited about cupcakes, perhaps because they’re easier to hold and eat!
5. BBQ delights
Who doesn’t love a barbecue? Just thinking about it has us imagining the crispy chicken, hot dogs, burgers, and everything else you’ll be able to throw on the grill for your child’s beach-themed party. The great thing about the barbecue option is that you don’t need to have a barbecue-themed party just to include it. This can be incorporated into pretty much any beach theme and with the right amount of effort, you’ll have the same delicious result!
Expert tip: Find out the local regulations ahead of time if you’ll be heading to a private or public beach and want to barbecue on the sand.
6. Recreate food from your favorite beach vacation
Are there any special food items your child has been asking about for a while, like perhaps
Even if you’ve never been on a beach vacation, with some research you’ll be able to find some pretty tasty, tropical recipes. If you can pull this off, you’ll really be able to bring the beach vacation to your child’s party no matter where you are!
Activities and game ideas….
After deciding on food and drinks, the next step will be selecting or coming up with your own activities and games for the occasion. Here are some beach and ocean-themed games and activities that can be fun for kids:
1. Water games
The best beach parties will include opportunities to put on a swimsuit and splash around in the water. The top options for kids for water play will of course include splashing around in the ocean or in a pool, but water balloons and sprinklers can be good fun especially if there isn’t an ocean or pool nearby. For your child’s beach party, select water games based on the ages of the children who will be attending.
2. Beach scavenger hunt
A beach scavenger hunt can help bring everyone together at your child’s beach birthday party no matter their age. For this to work, you’ll need to hide beach-themed items ahead of the party and then round up the kids when it’s time to play. The items you pick don’t need to be fancy, but they should definitely be items that can either be utilized on a beach or things that can naturally be found there, like seashells and pebbles. If you plan a scavenger hunt on an actual beach you may not need to hide anything at all. Create a contest for the kids where the person who finds the most shells, or the smoothest pebble can win a cool prize!
3. Under the sea coloring-in
Some coloring time while out on a sunny beach or in your backyard can be a great way for kids to mellow out a bit and get a break from the sun. This is a good idea, especially for younger kids, and you can bring along some beach-themed coloring pages (featuring fish and other sea creatures, for example) and crayons that they’ll be able to settle in and enjoy.
4. Build the biggest sand castle
A sandcastle-building contest will definitely be an exciting activity that kids can enjoy during a beach birthday party. This activity will be perfect if you’re headed to sandy shores where you’ll be able to put sandcastle-building toys to good use. For your child’s birthday, find some low-cost sandcastle-building kits (buckets and spades included) that guests will be able to use on the day. While you’re shopping around, also pick up a small prize for the group with the biggest or fanciest sand castle.
5. Beach ball games
Beach volleyball, soccer, and beach ball games in general are fun for kids on an average beach day. For a beach birthday party, you can up the stakes and include prizes for the winning teams. These activities are great for a beach party as you won’t need much to put them together, just a few balls, goal markers, and some enthusiastic kids.
Decoration ideas….
Now for the fun part �' decorations! While there will be a variety of options to choose from for your child’s beach-themed party, here are some of the ones that have been tried and tested successfully, with the best results!
1. Beach backdrops
Unless you’ll be hosting your child’s birthday beach party on an actual beach, chances are you’ll need a cool beach backdrop and/or a banner. This backdrop can literally be the element that will transform a regular party into the ultimate beach-themed party along with all of the other fun beachy bits and pieces you’ll easily be able to incorporate. Beach banners, backdrops, and other decorations can be sourced from party stores or ordered online in advance.
2. Table grass skirts
Table grass skirts can really uplift your beach theme, and they’ll be easy to place as well. You can either make these yourself by sourcing the material of your choice and cutting it to suit, or by purchasing precut paper and then hanging the grass skirts around the edges of your main party tables. These won’t be hard to make, and you can get the kids to help!
3. Sand and shells
If your child’s party will be hosted on an actual beach, you’ll hardly be in need of decorations or inspiration. If you won’t be able to get to a beach in time for your child’s birthday, then you can improvise. Use buckets filled with sand and let the kids help you to decorate these with shells and pebbles. Save some sand to place in bottles that can be used as table decorations with shells included. Paper cutouts of shells and other beachy elements will be great too - string these up and hang them for a garland effect.
4. Streamers in sea colors
Streamers in the right hues can have your guests feeling like they’re walking right into an ocean paradise just as soon as they enter the door. These will work well for an indoor or outdoor party and all you’ll need to do is look for streamers in a variety of oceanic colors (blues and greens) and hang them up. For outdoor locations, before you purchase any streamers identify an area where you’ll be able to hang them up.
5. Inflatables
Inflatable floatation devices always tend to excite children. They are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including palm tree and sea creature designs. You can incorporate a few of these into the beach party theme whether you’ll be on the beach or not. You don’t even need to have a pool to use these at your child’s party either. Inflatables can work as decorations, but only if you use them with the expectation that the kids will at some point want them as toys.
Expert tip: If your child’s beach-themed party includes an actual pool, you might want to have separate inflatables that you use for decoration versus the ones that will be used for water safety.
Party favor ideas…
Kids will be all about the party favors at your child’s beach-themed party. Here are some of the goodie bag items that will help them take some of the great moments home with them.
1. Shell necklaces
Shell necklaces or bracelets will be fairly easy to find and will be well received by party guests. These items are cute, beachy to the core, and can easily fit into goodie bags. Shell necklaces are bracelets that are usually low cost, so you’ll be able to get enough for everyone. Choose whether you want to pick up readymade ones or get shells and string from the craft store to make them with your kids or as a party activity.
2. Sea creature toys
Sea creature toys can add to your child’s beach party experience. You’ll be able to use these for both decoration purposes and as party favors. While younger kids are likely to really love sea creature bath toys as party favors, older kids might prefer sea creature stuffed animals or plastic toys.
3. Fish candy
You’re unlikely to find any of the kids saying no to candy at your child’s beach-themed party, and rightly so. Parties are made for fun! For the sake of sticking to your beach theme, why not pick up some colorful fish candies that’ll help guests get into a beachy mood? These candies will go down well with the kids especially after indulging in all the other tasty party treats!
4. Flip flops
Flip flops can come in handy for your beach-themed party for more reasons than one. You can use them for invites and also for decoration. Stick a few of these around your party location for a beachy effect and even save some for the goodie bags if you can. The best thing about using flip-flops is that they won’t go to waste when the party’s all done!
5. Mini beach balls
Help your guests get into the beach zone with some mini beach balls. These will be fun to look at and play with and they’ll also complement your overall beach theme. Plus, your guests will be able to use them after the party!
Expert tip: When beach ball shopping for a party, you can choose between a single style batch or something mix and match with a variety of colors children will enjoy.
Location ideas…
1. Your own backyard
What better substitute for a beach than your own backyard? Granted, you’ll have to put some work into setting the whole thing up and inviting guests, but once all is said and done, you’d have set the scene for a party the kids will love. If you have a backyard pool, even better as this can be used in your theme to represent the ocean. If you don’t, there’s always the option of getting an inflatable pool. The key to an amazing backyard party is really getting the decorations right, hosting it when the weather is good, and ensuring there’s great music, entertainment, and lots of drinks and food for everyone!
2. A local beach
If there’s a local beach nearby it might be a good option for your child’s birthday beach party. You’ll need to plan ahead for this as you’ll have to bring along party supplies including food and drinks, decorations, and tables. In some areas, you can rent out small sections of the beach which can be useful for a beach party. If you plan on barbequing on a public beach, make sure to check the regulations in advance. Ask about everything you aren’t sure about including bringing tables and seating along.
3. An indoor-beach party
Maybe you’ve never really considered it, but it really can be a possibility to have an indoor beach party. This type of birthday party works when your kids have their hearts set on a beach birthday party, but for one reason or another (perhaps it’s just way too cold!), you’re unable to make it to the beach. You can decorate an area in your house with beach-themed decorations, put out some beach towels, and even throw in ideas like sand bucket popcorn holders or an inflatable pool (balls can be used in lieu of water). Add a makeshift sun with a yellow beach ball to bring some real sunshine to your child’s beach party!
4. A beach resort
All-inclusive resorts are a great option for hosting parties especially if you planned on only inviting close friends and family anyway. This location idea can take away some of the stresses of planning as most

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason

Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
