Our celebration week runs from November 6th to November 13th, 2025. We understand that some guests may be arriving later within those dates — and that’s perfectly okay! Please just ensure your arrival allows you to attend the wedding events comfortably and on time.
Guests who booked their stay under our official wedding group will receive complimentary round-trip transportation through the resort’s partner, BD Experience. BD Experience representatives will be waiting outside the airport holding signs, ready to guide you to your vehicle. If you booked your stay outside of our wedding group, you’ll need to arrange your own private transportation to the resort. Private transfers can be pre-booked online through BD Experience or other trusted transportation providers.
We recommend arriving at least one day before the wedding (no later than November 11th) to allow time to check in, complete resort registration, and settle in comfortably.
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM. If you arrive early, you may leave your bags with the front desk and start enjoying the resort’s pools, restaurants, and beach.
Upon arrival, resort staff will assist you with the check-in process and then direct you to attend a mandatory 1-hour resort registration/presentation before entering your room. Please plan for this time in your travel schedule so you can relax and enjoy the rest of your stay once it’s complete.
Please bring a valid photo ID, passport and a credit card for incidentals. Guests who booked through our wedding group should also have their confirmation email or group code ready.
Our wedding ceremony will take place on Wednesday, November 12th, 2025, at 2:00 PM sharp. Please plan to arrive no later than 3:30 PM so everyone is seated and ready before the ceremony begins.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend leaving the resort on your own. We want to make sure everyone stays safe and returns home to their loved ones without worry. Please remember, we’re all in another country that we’re not fully familiar with. The resort is all-inclusive and offers plenty of fun, food, and relaxation right on-site from beaches and pools to restaurants and entertainment. If you’d like to explore beyond the resort, we encourage booking official group excursions directly through BD Experience or the resort concierge, as they partner with trusted local guides for safe, organized experiences. Your safety and well-being mean the world to us, so please enjoy everything the resort has to offer together, safely, and with love. 💕
