Category: Guides & ToursJanuary 20th 2023Back to our Sandals Blog > > >
Getting married is the most magical (and often most stressful) time in your life. Once you've planned your ceremony to a tee and have lovingly said your 'I dos', you'll be looking forward to the next step - a romantic, relaxing honeymoon. You may have dreamt about flying to

Did you know?
Sandals Resorts are specifically geared towards couples in love and are always located on a dreamy Caribbean beach. No other resort in the world includes more than Sandals, offering honeymooning couplesup to 16 restaurants to choose from. Food and (alcoholic) drinks at Sandals Resorts are always included, always unlimited.
There are some essential items that you simply cannot forget. Plus, you'll need to decide what to pack in your carry-on bag and what will go in your checked luggage. On top of that, both the needs of the bride and the needs of the groom will need to be accounted for. There is really a lot to consider.
Don't worry! We know packing for a honeymoon is no walk in the park, so we've created a honeymoon packing list for a 1 - 2 week getaway to help you track and simplify things. You'll take most of the stress out of packing for your romantic honeymoon getaway by following this ultimate honeymoon packing checklist.
Expert tip: If some time has passed between your nuptials and your honeymoon, a romantic
vow renewal ceremony in a beautiful island setting may be a great way to bring the magic of marriage back into your trip.
Honeymoon packing tips: Preparing for a smooth vacation
Vacations are meant to be relaxing, and honeymoons should be even more so. Here are some helpful tips for honeymoon packing that can help ensure your romantic vacation goes as smoothly and wonderfully as it should:
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. Weigh your luggage before you leave
Avoid delays or extra fees at the airport by weighing your bags beforehand. The last thing you want to do on your honeymoon getaway is to repack an overweight bag in a crowded airport. That's why it's a great idea to weigh your bags before you leave for your trip. Knowing before you get to the airport that your bag is overweight gives you the opportunity to redistribute items between bags or leave less important items behind. The more accurate the luggage scale, the better.
2. Make copies of all your travel documents
It may come in handy to have both paper and digital copies of all your essential travel documents, including your identification, immunization records, visas, flight confirmations, and hotel reservations. This can be useful as a backup just in case you misplace any of your information or run into technical problems retrieving your digital copies. Keep in mind that you should still travel with your original passport and other documents required by your destination.
3. Stash your emergency contact information somewhere safe
Some travel protection plans include a convenient contact number for emergency assistance. You never know when you'll actually need emergency contact information, so ensure that you keep this information somewhere safe and easy to find. Consider keeping this information somewhere close by, like your wallet, pocket, or backpack.
4. Alert your bank if you're traveling internationally
Letting your bank know that you will be traveling internationally is critical to avoid financial headaches when you'd rather be enjoying your honeymoon to the fullest. If your banking institution is unaware that you will be out of the country, they may block international transactions to protect you. It's quite frustrating and time-consuming to get your cards unblocked once you're already abroad, so avoid this hiccup by advising your bank about your travel plans.
5. Refill (and pack) all essential prescriptions
Don't wait until the last minute to refill and pack all your important prescriptions. This should be done ahead of your trip and as early as possible so that you're not scrambling around trying to get things together at the last minute.
6. Read (and pack) guidebooks for your honeymoon destination
You can make the most out of your honeymoon destination by knowing as much as possible about it before you get there. Read and bring along some guidebooks so you have a convenient source of information handy on your trip. Destination guides can help you plan what to see, where to go and how to get there from the airport or your resort.
7. Get a VPN before you leave
A VPN will help you have more private and secure access to the internet while abroad. This comes in handy when traveling internationally as all your online data will be encrypted. This protects your usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, browser cookies, and other identifying information from being stolen should you access the internet in an unfamiliar setting. Streaming services may also work differently outside of the U.S. A VPN will allow you to use these services as though you were still back at home.
What should I pack for my honeymoon? The ultimate honeymoon packing list
While there are some items you can leave behind without too much thought, there are others that can cause a serious inconvenience or force you to reschedule your trip if left behind. Here's a list of everything you will absolutely need to safely travel to and from your honeymoon destination.
The essentials: What you absolutely must bring (don't forget!)
- Driver's license/ passport - Remember that passports are required for international travel
- Credit cards, debit cards, and/or cash
- Paper and digital copies of all essential travel documents
- Blue or black pen for immigration forms
- The local currency of your destination
- Booking confirmations (hotel & flight)
- Prescription medications
- Phone charger
- Electrical converters/adapters - You can check with your resort to find out if these are needed
Toiletries
Packing toiletries is a vacation must. These are essential items that you'll need for daily use. The toiletries you bring on your honeymoon will depend on your destination. You may not need to bring every single item on the list below:
- Shampoo/conditioner (often provided by resort/hotel)
- Soap/shower gel (often provided by resort/hotel)
- Comb/brush
- Toothbrush/toothpaste
- Floss
- Sunscreen
- Lotion/oil
- Aloe Vera gel
- Band-aids
- Lip balm
- Razors/shaving cream
- Aftershave solution
- Clippers
- Deodorant
- Makeup remover
- Mosquito repellent
- Tweezers
- Pain reliever
- Earplugs
- Sleep mask
Enough clothing for a week (or two!)
It can take a bit of sorting to get your clothing selection just right for your honeymoon. You'll want to ensure you have the perfect mix of casual and elegant outfits, as well as clothing that's specific to the destination and the activities you want to participate in. If you're going for longer than a week, pack for a week and make use of the laundry service at your honeymoon destination so you don't go over the weight limit.
Here are some of the key things you'll need to bring:
Grooms: The essentials
- 1 pair of dress shoes
- 1 suit jacket
- 1-3 button-down shirts
- 3-5 t-shirts
- 1-2 pairs of dress pants
- 1 pair of jeans and/or 1 pair of denim shorts
- 1 tie
Brides: The essentials
- 2-4 bras
- 3-5 t-shirts and/or tank tops
- 1-2 pairs of leggings
- 1 cardigan
- 1 sundress
- 1 formal dress
- 1 pair of heels
- Lingerie
Essentials for both brides & grooms
- 8-10 pairs of underwear
- 5-8 pairs of socks
- 2-3 pairs of shorts
- 1-2 pairs of jeans
- 1-3 long-sleeve shirts
- 1 light jacket
- 1 sweatshirt
- 1 pair of comfortable walking shoes
- 1 pair of hiking boots
- Pajamas/loungewear
- Sunglasses
Additional items for warm weather
Picture: Bask in the sunshine of warm weather destinations like this Over-the-Water Villa at
Warm weather destinations certainly help you pack a bit lighter, but there are still some essential items you won't want to leave behind. Here are a few of the basics:
- 2-5 swimsuits (for women: a mix of bikinis & one-pieces)
- 1 pair of flip flops
- 1 - 3 beach cover-ups
- 1 sun hat or baseball cap
- 1 beach towel (many resorts supply these)
- 1 tote or beach bag
Expert tip: Packing for warm weather destinations is much less exasperating. Our
Jamaica vacation packing list andour packing list for a vacation in The Bahamas will tell you everything you need to bring for an amazing vacation at either destination.
Additional items for cold weather
When heading to a cold destination, you'll need clothing that will keep you warm and toasty throughout your trip. Here are some of the items you should have on hand:
- 1 heavy jacket
- 1 pair of mittens
- 1 scarf
- 1 warm hat
- Waterproof shoes, pants, and socks
- Hand and foot warmers
Pack these honeymoon items in your carry-on bag
A carry-on bag is probably the most important item you'll have with you during your trip. Use this bag to carry honeymoon vacation essentials like passports, other travel documents, and any items that you want close by. Ahead of your honeymoon, be sure to invest in a good carry-on bag, and create a packing list to ensure you don't forget anything important. Of all the essential items we've mentioned, it's best to pack the below in your carry-on bag:
- Driver's license/passport
- Credit cards, debit cards, and/or cash
- Black or blue pen for immigration forms
- Some essential toiletries (toothbrush, hand sanitizer, deodorant, contact lenses). Any liquids or gels that are over 3.4 OZ / 100 ml must be packed in your checked luggage, so you should stow travel-sized items (under 3.4 OZ / 100 ml) in your carry-on.
- Any necessary medications (inhaler, antihistamines, antacids, prescriptions, etc.)
- At least one change of clothes (just in case your luggage is delayed or goes missing)
- 1 swimsuit each (especially useful when you get to your destination before check-in time!)
What's okay to leave at home when you go on your honeymoon?
While it is important to know what to bring with you on your honeymoon, it is equally important to recognize some of the things that are best left at home. Resist temptation. There are a few things that you probably won't need to bring:
1. Unnecessary clothing
It's unlikely that you are going to need every single one of your favorite shorts, even though you're going to a sunny destination. You also won't need an excessive amount of bathing suits either. Be critical and avoid overpacking, especially if you'll only be traveling for a short time. Pack, and then unpack half of it.
2. Expensive tech
It is best to leave some of your more expensive gadgets behind when heading to a foreign destination. This is especially true if you'll be getting into quite a bit of activity or going on tours. Expensive items can get lost, stolen, or damaged along the way. Those aren't the kind of memories you want to make on your honeymoon.
3. Thank you cards
Thank you cards are definitely an appreciated token, but if they are taking up more room in your luggage than you have to spare, you should consider leaving them behind.
4. Valuable jewelry
The last thing you want when going on your honeymoon is for a mishap, like losing expensive or sentimental jewelry, to suck the fun out of your time together. Leave your valuable jewelry at home, and consider traveling with low-cost replacement jewelry instead. Wedding rings often get lost during snorkeling trips due to a combination of slippery sunscreen and ocean water.
5. Work
Bringing work on a vacation is a bad idea, and there's definitely no place for it on a honeymoon! Honeymoons are made for love, so you should disconnect from everyday life and savor romantic moments with your new life partner.
How early should you start packing for your honeymoon?
You can start packing for your honeymoon days or even weeks ahead of your departure date. Before packing, however, you should put together a packing list. The earlier you start packing, the more time you'll have to purchase any additional items you may be missing for your trip.
For international travel, it is best to start thinking about the things you'll need to pack weeks or maybe even months ahead of time. If you need new clothing or gear, spend some time shopping around in the weeks ahead of your trip so you can get exactly what you want, and cool deals too.
Lastly, check the validity of passports and other items needed for international travel early as possible. Passports with less than six months of validity will usually need to be renewed before travel and renewals can take weeks or months to be processed.
Bonus: Five special touches to enhance your honeymoon plans!
Your honeymoon will already be one of the most important vacations in your lifetime, but there are lots of ways to make it more memorable. Add some magic to your honeymoon and surprise your new spouse, or make planning a romantic itinerary something you can do together ahead of your trip.
1. Arrange a private, candlelit dinner
Nothing says romance like a private, candlelit dinner, especially if this special dinner is a surprise and the ambiance is just right for love. Underneath the stars, you two will be able to connect even more deeply as you enjoy every bit of your pre-arranged, romantic meal together.
2. Schedule a couple's massage
Settle down for a couple's massage and transcend into serenity together. Make sure to book your spa treatments early on in your honeymoon, so you immediately slip into the right state of mind and leave the stress of the wedding behind.
3. Stay in a special honeymoon suite
A honeymoon suite at a luxurious all-inclusive resort will be just the vacation upgrade you need to fully enjoy your honeymoon experience. The best honeymoon suites will make it possible to enjoy things like red rose petals in bed, complimentary drinks, chocolate-covered fruits, and any other indulgences you desire.
4. Try a new activity together
Traveling to a new destination certainly calls for being open to adventure or at least trying something new. Some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean offer day and night entertainment, land and water sports, and even help you arrange tours so you can explore the island beyond the resort. Trying a new activity with the love of your life will help you two to bond.
5. Let your resort know you're newlyweds; there may be a free honeymoon package
Feel free to brag about your newlywed status. You never know, it just might earn you a free honeymoon package. Some honeymoon packages include things like a bottle of chilled sparkling wine in the room, a special turndown service that includes flower petals, and a decadent breakfast in bed.
Don't wait to start planning your perfect honeymoon getaway
Packing for your honeymoon does not have to be stressful. The most important thing to consider when packing for your honeymoon is where you are going and what you will be doing once you get there.
When considering the perfect honeymoon locale, remember that a warm-weather destination will allow you to pack lighter. You won't need bulky coats, sweaters, or scarves on sunny, white-sand shores. Since your wedding will likely be more than enough planning, consider eliminating some of the stresses of honeymoon planning and packing by going to an

In addition to saving yourself time and frustration, you won't have to worry about the bill at the end of your honeymoon, as you sip on unlimited free cocktails at a swim-up bar and have as much food as you want at any of the amazing restaurants the resort has on offer - all included in your booking price. Make sure to book an
There you have it - everything you need to know to make packing for your honeymoon vacation a breeze. We hope this ultimate honeymoon packing checklist will come in handy for your romantic getaway, and that you'll be ready to enjoy an amazing destination in no time.

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
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
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!

Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"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
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
