PLANNING, SAVING, AND SAYING 'I DO'
For Alex, planning a local wedding in her small hometown just didn’t feel right.
“The venues around here? We’d already been to all of them—for prom, for parties, for other weddings. Nothing felt special,” she shared. “I come from the desert, so the idea of getting married on a beach just felt like a dream.”
That dream led her and her husband to El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico—a resort they already knew and loved from a previous family wedding. What followed was a celebration filled with ease, connection, and moments she’ll never forget.
Here’s how it all came together—and why she says working with Be All Inclusive made all the difference.
WHY A DESTINATION WEDDING?
The choice to plan a destination wedding wasn’t just about the setting. It was about simplicity, value, and creating a meaningful experience for everyone involved.
“We kept it super simple. No welcome party, no cocktail hour, no extra events—and it was still perfect. The resort itself created all the magic.”
El Dorado Royale stood out for a few key reasons:
- They had been there before and loved the food, layout, and vibe
- The adults-only environment matched the guest list
- The wedding perks and cashback incentives helped keep costs low
BEACH VIBES, FAMILY REUNIONS, & ZERO REGRETS
Alex and her husband chose Fuentes Beach for their ceremony—a picturesque spot that felt personal and tucked away.
With 34 guests, their wedding weekend felt like a family reunion. They skipped extra events and instead leaned into what the resort already offered, like evening shows and casual group dinners.
“My friends spent $20K–30K on weddings here at home. We got a full vacation, an unforgettable wedding, and multiple days with our favorite people—for less.”
PLANNING WITH BAI
Alex found BAI through Facebook wedding planning groups and quickly booked a consultation. She was torn between El Dorado and another resort but said the conversation with her BAI agent helped make things clear:
“Once we talked, it felt obvious. You didn’t push us one way or another—you just helped us weigh what mattered most.”
WORKING WITH BAI ALSO MEANT:
-
Guests got personalized communication and reminders
-
Travel questions were handled quickly
-
Arrival in Mexico was stress-free, complete with a personalized welcome sign and even a surprise limo upgrade
ADVICE TO FUTURE BRIDES
-
Don't overthink the extras. Simple can still be stunning—especially in paradise.
-
Give guests room to relax. A little downtime (and no strict schedule) goes a long way.
-
Trust your travel agent. The planning, communication, and support make all the difference.
WOULD ALEX DO IT AGAIN?
“Absolutely,” Alex said. “We already have guests planning their next trip back. And I can’t say enough good things about the experience, the resort, and working with BAI. Everything went so smoothly—it was just unforgettable.”
