A note from us:

We’re so excited to be saying “I do” in beautiful Cancún, and we’d love for you to join us! When we started imagining our wedding, we kept landing on the same wish: the people we love most in one place, no rush, in paradise.

We completely understand that traveling isn’t possible for everyone, so please don’t feel any pressure. Your love and support mean the world, whether you’re celebrating nearby or cheering us on from afar.

The weekend will be filled with activities, and this site is everything you’ll need to plan the trip with us. Message us with any questions!

Booking & RSVP

How do I RSVP?

You must both (1) Book Your Room using promo code JLWMAY27XCP through the official Excellence website, and (2) complete the RSVP form. Both are linked in the header!

Do I have to book through the promo code?

Yes — to count toward our room block, to get the group rate, and to qualify for the included airport transfers. Booking on a Suite + Flight rate, a Non-Refundable rate, or an Excellence Collection Rewards rate will not apply our promo code and you won’t count toward our block.

When’s the booking deadline?

Sooner is better, for planning purposes (and your travel expenses!). We're kindly asking a March 1, 2027 deadline to get our group rate.

Reservations, however, are generally flexible until March 14, 2027. Your card is charge in full 30 days before check-in.

What’s the cancellation policy?

To still receive our group rate, reservations are generally flexible until March 14, 2027.

Your card is charged in full 30 days before check-in. Rooms can be cancelled or changed free of charge up to 24 hours before arrival.

Is there a minimum number of nights?

Yes. To count toward our room block and to qualify for the included airport transfer, your stay must be at least three nights.

Core events are Sat. May 15 & Sun. May 16. So, we'd advise a three-night stay from May 14-17, 2027. However, the wedding couple will be there for seven-nights, beginning May 12th!

The Resort & the Stay

Is the resort really all-inclusive?

Yes. Your room rate covers meals at every restaurant on-property, drinks at the bars (including premium), 24-hour room service, the pools, the beach, the fitness center, and most resort activities. Spa treatments and a small list of premium experiences are à la carte. You will not be handing over a credit card at dinner.

Are airport transfers included?

Yes — round-trip transfers between CUN and Excellence Coral are included for every guest in our room block! No separate site or taxi-stand confusion. You’ll schedule pickup directly through the Excellence Collection site after booking. We’ll send a step-by-step walkthrough closer to the date.

Is the resort adults-only?

Yes — Excellence Coral is 18+, no exceptions. This applies to the wedding events as well. We adore your kids, but they will not be able to stay at the resort or attend the events with us.

We have kids — can we still come?

Yes, absolutely, and we’d love to have you. Because the resort is adults-only, you’ll need childcare back home. Thanks for understanding!

Can I bring a plus-one?

If your save-the-date or invitation included a plus-one, yes — please bring them, and book the room as a double. If you’re unsure whether your invite includes a plus-one, just ask us.

Can I stay somewhere off-property?

Please reach out before booking. The resort has limited capacity for day-pass guests during a wedding week, and we have to coordinate it through the planner. Staying off-property means missing meals, missing pool time, missing the lobby-bar hours of the week — we’d much rather have you in the block.

Travel Logistics

What airport do I fly into?

Cancún International (CUN). It’s the only airport we’d recommend — it’s a thirty-minute drive north to the resort.

When should I arrive?

Aim for Friday, May 14 so you can be on-resort and rested for the welcome events on May 15 & wedding on May 16. Please note the three-night stay requirement.

When should I head home?

Monday, May 17 (day after wdding) is the natural end of the weekend. However, the group rate is good through Thursday, May 20, and the wedding couple are departing on May 18.

Do I need a passport? A visa?

U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Mexico. No visa is required for short-term tourism. Please check your passport now — it should be valid through at least November 2027 to be safe (six months past your return). Renewals can run several months, so don’t wait.

How do I schedule my airport transfer?

After you book through the promo code, log into your reservation on the Excellence Collection site and add your flight details under transfers. Round-trip CUN service is automatic for guests at the group rate with a three-night minimum. We’ll share a one-page how-to closer to the date.

What’s the weather like in May?

Honestly, perfect! While it's warm and humid, daytime highs in the upper eighties, evenings in the upper seventies. Mid-May is the tail end of the dry season — occasional brief showers are possible but rare. Pack sunscreen, a light layer for evening, and something for the breeze on the beach.

What about currency & tipping?

The resort runs on both pesos and U.S. dollars; credit cards are accepted everywhere. Because it’s all-inclusive, tipping is not required, but it is appreciated by the staff who take care of us all week. We’d suggest bringing a stack of small U.S. bills for the bartenders, housekeeping, and the people who quietly make everything work.

The Wedding

What time is the ceremony?

Ceremony is Sunday, May 16, 2027 at 5:00 PM, with reception immediately following.

What’s the dress code?

Beach formal across the board — think linen, light fabrics, dresses you can move in. The welcome and rehearsal events are slightly more relaxed; the wedding itself is the dress-up night of the week. Detailed guidance will go out closer to the date.

Will the ceremony and reception be on the beach?

No — but both events will take place outdoors. The ceremony will take place in the Gazebo, covered for all guests. Then, the reception will take place on the rooftop lounge (string-lights & uncovered). The resort has covered backup space if the weather turns.

What if there are dietary restrictions or allergies?

Of course! This resort is Jess-approved. Please let us know in advance — the resort is incredible at accommodating dietary restrictions, and of course, gluten free.

Are kids allowed at the wedding?

No — the resort and the wedding events are both adults-only (18+). We promise we’ll send photos!

Will there be photos and video to share?

Yes — our photographer is Seasons Photo Studio, and we’ll share images with everyone after the wedding. We’d love for you to take and share your own photos, too. A shared album link will go up here closer to the date. (Shared album — TBD.)

Is there a registry?

No registry — and please, no gifts. Your presence is the only present we need. Flying to Mexico to celebrate with us is already so much more than enough. If you’d been planning to spend something on us, please put it toward your trip instead.

Registry

Your presence is the gift.

We mean it — truly. There is no registry, and we’re asking you, sincerely, to please not bring or send gifts. Crossing time zones to spend a week with us in Mexico is already so much more than we could ask for.

What we want is to be in the same room as the people we love — to share long meals, slow mornings, and a dance floor with you. That’s the whole gift. Please take any money you might have spent on a present and put it toward your trip instead.
