Mimosas in hand, we’re taking over Awe Spa for a morning of glam and "I Do" prep. The bridal party will be getting pampered and polished while we soak up every second of the pre-wedding jitters. It’s all about the robes, the laughs, and the glow-up before we head to the shore.

Take the morning to soak up every bit of paradise! Whether you’re lounging poolside with a signature cocktail, hitting the beach, or exploring everything The Grand has to offer, the morning is yours to relax and recharge.

The Ceremony

Playa Caribeño

We want you to feel as breezy and beautiful as the ocean! For women, think elegant sundresses, chic jumpsuits, or flowy maxi dresses. For men, we suggest light-colored suits or linen pants paired with a crisp button-down (no ties required). Please keep the sand in mind when choosing your footwear—wedges, block heels, or dressy sandals are perfect!

Join us at Playa Caribeño to kick off the main event. Shuttles are available resort-wide or via your room; please arrive early as we will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. We ask that immediate family stay at the beach briefly for photos afterward

Lobby Bar / Speakeasy

The music might stop at the Gardens, but the night is just getting started! We’re moving the celebration back to the main building to keep the drinks flowing. Families and those with little ones are invited to the Lobby Bar for a nightcap. For the adults-only crew, we’re heading to the Library Bar—a hidden, bookshelf-lined speakeasy for those who want to keep the toasts going late into the night. Come find the secret entrance and help us celebrate until the early hours!

Please RSVP for this event by April 15th so we can gauge the group's interest! We want to enjoy this last day with as many of you as possible—however, if the majority of the crew prefers to stay and recharge at the resort, we will forgo the boat and stay poolside. Let us know if you’re "All In" for one last adventure!

The Grand Departure

12:00 pm

Check Out, Cash In!

Turn in your keys, but keep the guac & chips on the table! If you have a later flight, feel free to stash your bags and spend your final hours poolside. Gym lockers & Showers are available for a quick "refresh" before the airport. Airport Transfer can be scheduled with Gina Note on Departure: While the airport is only about 15 minutes away, Cancun Airport can be a bit of a maze. We recommend leaving the resort 1.5-2 hours before your flight to ensure you have plenty of time for check-in and security
