Nothing screams Caribbean weddings more than the classic floral arch in the sand overlooking the sea. This is, in most cases, the signature of weddings organized by hotels. Cancun and Riviera Maya hotels have professional wedding planners. Many travel agencies sell wedding packages that include flights, hotel stays for several days, organization of the event, and even additional activities. These packages usually give the hotel room to the bride and groom if they meet a minimum number of guests.
Beach Club weddings are express events that offer more freedom without taking you away from the beach. Some beach clubs may limit access to wedding guests only, including food and beverage service, space for a beach reception, lighting, and sound. This option is ideal for a small committee celebration in a Caribbean setting. Clubs such as IXI Beach on Isla Mujeres offer their facilities for weddings, anniversaries, and any private event in front of Playa Norte, the most beautiful beach on Isla Mujeres.

You will find this option in almost all the catalogs of wedding planning agencies and wedding planning committees of hotels in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Babymoon is the new trend for couples to take one last romantic trip before the arrival of their baby. At first, the term meant a vacation getaway with the baby, but it has gradually changed and now focuses on the parents and the celebration that the pregnancy stage will soon be over.
