Where should we stay?
We kindly ask that all our guests stay at our host resort Hotel Xcaret Mexico. We want our wedding celebration to be a vacation experience for everyone and we'd love to spend some time with you outside the Wedding Day, be that at the pool, by sharing a few meals and drinks together or on an excursion. We have set aside a block of discounted rooms (minimum 3-night stay) at this resort and we ask that you make your reservation through our travel coordinator MarieSam.
When should we arrive?
We will be hosting a Welcome Event at Hotel Xcaret on May 8, 2023. We would love for you to join us for that. You've traveled all this way, so you might as well make a vacation out of it and join us as early as possible. Our room block is available from May 6 to 13, 2023. And the Wedding Day is on May 9th. We recommend that you arrive at least 2 days before the Wedding Day. But please come and stay as long as you'd like. If you'd like to extend your travel dates beyond our block, just let our travel agent know and she can request that for you.
What should I wear to the wedding?
Please dress comfortably and just enjoy yourselves! But we recommend leaving the heels behind because a portion of the festivities will be on the sand!
Are kids invited to the wedding?
We welcome you to bring your children on this trip as it is an excellent family resort with a kids club an a contracted babysitting agency should you wish to obtain sitter services during our wedding day.
What do we do about transportation in Mexico?
Transportation to and from Hotel Xcaret Mexico is provided by the resort's complimentary shuttle bus. All transportation necessary for tours and excursions is also included and provided by the hotel. If you would like to book private transfers, please ask our travel coordinator MarieSam for information and assistance on that request.
Do we have to stay at the wedding resort? Can we stay somewhere else and still attend your wedding?
All guests must stay at our host hotel to attend our wedding celebration. If you are not staying on-site, unfortunately you will not be able to attend the festivities.
What is the weather like? What should we pack?
Playa del Carmen, Mexico is typically warm and humid -- temperatures are usually in the 80s to 90s. We recommend bringing light summer clothing and swimsuits. Other helpful essentials include sunblock, water shoes, swim coverups, flip-flops, sunglasses, etc. Think beach vacation with formal or black tie optional attire for the Wedding Day.
How can travel be made easier around the resort?

Any equipment rented will be delivered directly to the resort and picked up from the resort upon your departure back home. You can also rent child travel accessories through this company.
