One of our favorite experiences we’ve had together was our family trip to the Dominican Republic in 2018. After getting engaged, we saw this as the perfect opportunity to not only plan our wedding, but also an amazing vacation that will get all of our loved ones together for a week of fun & relaxation. When it came time to pick the resort there are hundreds of choices for tropical vacations. However, only one that really fit us. Our shared love of Rock & Roll made the Hard Rock Resort in Riviera Maya the perfect place for us, and one of the best parts is it's all inclusive. While staying there you can enjoy as much as you can eat and drink as many cocktails as you can handle, and even order room service 24 hours a day….. and its all included! Because the resort offers restaurants and bars included in the price of your stay, non-hotel guests are not allowed on the resort property. Wedding guests must be staying at the hotel. Our hopes in planning a destination wedding were to get everyone together for an incredible vacation where we can all eat, drink, laugh, and have a great time as a group. We know that this is a big ask, we also understand not everyone is going to be able to make it. It is important to us that no one feels left out of the wedding festivities, so if traveling to the Riviera Maya is out of reach we are also going to have a celebration locally. We hope everyone is as excited as we are for this new adventure & we hope to see you in Mexico!
