FAQs

The Wedding Website of Rachel Lawrence and Steven Washburn
Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we absolutely adore your little ones, this wedding celebration will be adults-only. Our resort is an adults-only property, and we’re intentionally planning this trip as a relaxed and meaningful getaway for our guests. We completely understand that traveling without children isn’t possible for everyone, and we truly appreciate your understanding and support. Because our boys, Abram and Owen, are such a huge part of our hearts and our story, we’ll be sharing a separate intimate “family marriage” ceremony with them the week before we leave for Mexico. Having that special moment together as a family means the world to us and gives us the opportunity to celebrate this next chapter with them in a deeply personal way before our vacation wedding celebration begins. We hope this trip feels like a chance for everyone to slow down, reconnect, enjoy some sunshine, make memories together, and celebrate this exciting season with us.

Question

How do I book my trip?

Answer

To receive our group rates and be included in the wedding room block, please book through our travel agent, Meg Thacker, at (904) 612-1429 (text preferred). Her services are completely free, and she can assist with accommodations, optional flights, airport transportation, and any other travel details. Please mention you're with the Lawrence & Washburn wedding group. A $100 deposit per room is all that's needed to reserve your stay, with final payment not due until March 18, 2027. Since the resort is already filling up, we encourage anyone seriously considering the trip to reserve early to secure availability. Please note that reservations made directly through the hotel or third-party travel websites cannot be added to our wedding group and are not eligible for our discounted group rates.

Question

When should I arrive and depart?

Answer

We’d love for everyone to make the trip their own. Come just for the wedding, turn it into a long weekend, or stay for a full vacation — whatever works best for your schedule and budget. Because the wedding is on Monday, April 19, 2027, we recommend arriving Saturday to settle in, relax, and enjoy a little vacation time before the festivities begin.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Yes. A valid passport is required for travel to Mexico. We recommend checking your expiration date early, as some airlines require passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

Question

Do I have to stay at the wedding resort?

Answer

Yes — all wedding events will take place at the resort, and guests will need to stay on property in order to attend. We’re excited to make this feel like a fun getaway weekend together, and staying at the resort will allow everyone to fully enjoy the celebration and experience.

Question

Is the resort all-inclusive?

Answer

Yes! Your stay includes accommodations, food, drinks, and access to resort amenities. Additional details about what’s included will be shared closer to the wedding.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

Guests should plan to fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN). Meg, our travel agent, can also help coordinate flights and assist with travel arrangements for your stay.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Transportation details between the airport and resort will be shared once travel arrangements are finalized.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Think elevated vacation attire. We want everyone to feel comfortable, relaxed, and ready for sunshine, celebration, and a beautiful evening together. Please note that some resort restaurants may require specific dress codes for dinner service, such as long pants or closed-toe shoes for men, so we recommend checking resort guidelines when packing.

Question

Will there be activities outside of the wedding?

Answer

Absolutely. One of the reasons we chose a destination wedding was to create more time to relax, connect, and enjoy all the amazing excursions and experiences the area has to offer. . For additional excursions, adventures, and off-resort activities, guests can browse the resort’s recommended experiences through Amstar Excursions & Activities. From catamaran cruises and snorkeling trips to cenotes, eco parks, ruins, and private tours, there are options for both adventure and relaxation.

Question

What if I can’t attend?

Answer

We completely understand. We know destination weddings aren’t possible for everyone, and there is absolutely no pressure or expectation. Your love and support mean so much to us no matter what.
