FAQs
Question
Is there an Open Bar?
Answer
Do you think we'd have a wedding without one?
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We ask for all our guests to be in Semi-formal attire. Our ceremony will be on a beach, during the evening, in Mexico, in July & the reception will be held in a location with solid floors and sand, so wear what ever is most comfortable.
Question
Are there any specific colors or recommendations for the dress code?
Answer
We prefer all guests to wear whatever they're comfortable in, but would like all guests to dress in light summer colors, avoiding patterns and wearing more solid colors.
Question
Where is the ceremony going to be?
Answer
The ceremony will be held on a beach and the subsequent events will be in outdoor & indoor hybrid spaces all within the resort.
Question
Do I need a Passport?
Answer
Yes, you will need a Valid Passport Book- not a card which is used exclusively for car transportation- that is valid for 6+ months before July 2025. (ex. if you passport expires March 2025, you'll need to renew it) Passport processing times are 8-11 weeks on average so plan accordingly!

Question
I have questions about what to expect at the resort and the amenities they offer
Answer
For any resort related questions, go to the dedicated website our wedding planner has assembled for us. Essentially all information pertaining to the rooms available, booking, the Eco-parks, what's included during your stay and everything else will be found there in the FAQ section. The link is in the resort section of this website under "Hotel" click "view'
Question
Are you planning any group events outside of the Wedding?
Answer
Of course, certain Eco-parks require reservations in advance, and we would like to enjoy time with all of our guests throughout the parks. Closer to the trip, we will provide reservations and information about our plans with each of you.
Question
What's the Weather expected to be?
Answer
Weather in the Rivera Maya during July varies, but plan for 75-80 degrees with moderate to high humidity (it is the jungle)
Question
What should I bring?
Answer
There are a bunch of water-based activities not just at the resort, but the Eco-Parks themselves, so bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, water proof phone case and water shoes. These items are available to purchase at the Eco-Parks, but it will be cheaper to get these beforehand. Mexico uses the same outlets we do, so you won't have to worry about conversion plugs. Everything is included at the Resort through your stay, bring cash if you want to purchase souvenirs or tip the bartenders but its completely optional.
Question
How do we schedule a shuttle to the resort and back to the airport?
Answer
The wedding coordinator will reserve your spot on the shuttle using your flight information. Once you book your flight, head over to the "Resort & Travel" tab on this website and scroll down to "reserve your transportation." there will be a link where you are directed to the site to submit your flight.
