How did Destify help you choose the perfect destination and resort for your wedding?
What was your favorite wedding moment with your spouse?
Our first dance was magical, surrounded by breathtaking views, our guests, and the beauty of the resort. It was incredibly special to finally be there, together in that moment, feeling nothing but gratitude.
What was your favorite experience at the wedding?
One of my favorite experiences from our wedding was walking down the aisle to meet Harold. Carolina truly listened when I said I wanted something simple, in a location that would speak for itself, and it was everything I dreamed of. It felt so surreal. Seeing Harold at the end of the aisle, tears in his eyes, was the most unforgettable and emotional experience EVER. It was truly every girl’s dream come to life and a once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget.

How was the experience for your guests, and what did they enjoy most about the wedding and destination?
All of our guests said this was the best destination wedding experience they’ve ever had, both for those who had attended destination weddings before and for first-timers. Everyone was blown away by how seamless and enjoyable everything was. We’ve even inspired some of our friends to start planning their destination weddings! I’ve already passed along all my top recommendations, from Destify to our amazing off-site photographers, Jonhy & Rose Photography Studio.
Looking back, what would you say to couples considering a destination wedding with Destify?
1000% YES, do it! Over the two years of planning our destination wedding, I only felt stressed once, and that was just when trying to finalize the guest count. Carolina was incredible. She had so much detailed information about the resort and the planning process, which gave me the time and confidence to make decisions at my own pace.
What made it even better was knowing our guests were in great hands, too. They had an amazing team to reach out to for any questions about travel or transportation, which took so much pressure off of us. It truly made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.
How was your ceremony, and did you have a reception? Where was your reception?
Both our ceremony and reception took place at the stunning Grazie Ocean View Terrace. We had a close friend officiate, which made it even more personal and meaningful. The wedding team at the Royalton Splash was incredibly organized, they knew exactly what to do every step of the way.
Two days before the wedding, we had a planning meeting to go over all the details, and the day before, we met with our coordinator, Marilos, along with our wedding party for a full walkthrough. Everything went so smoothly, it truly felt effortless thanks to their preparation and professionalism.
What did you love most about getting married at your resort?
We got to celebrate our love and have a mini vacation with our closest family and friends. Everyone had time to relax, enjoy the resort, and make memories beyond just the wedding day.
How did the amenities at your resort make your wedding week special?
The amenities at the Royalton Splash Cancun truly made our wedding week unforgettable. We loved being able to enjoy a variety of restaurants with our guests, and every meal felt like a celebration. The pools were beautiful and relaxing, and for those wanting a little more excitement, the adult water park was such a fun and unique touch. The spa was a peaceful escape, perfect for unwinding before the big day, boat day with all of our guests the day after our wedding, and the nearby golf course was a great option for our guests who wanted to sneak in a few rounds. Having all of these experiences in one place made it feel like a full vacation for everyone, not just a wedding. It brought our friends and family even closer together and added so many extra memories to our celebration.

What features of your resort made your ceremony or reception memorable?
The Royalton Splash offers a variety of beautiful wedding locations to choose from, whether it’s a beach ceremony, the Grazie Ocean View Terrace overlooking the beach, or the Sky Terrace with its stunning blue sky backdrop. We chose the Grazie Ocean View Terrace and kept our decor simple, adding just a few florals and a set of string lights. It felt like we did so much, but the natural beauty of the venue made everything look breathtaking on its own.
How did you feel about planning a destination wedding at first, and in what ways did our team help simplify the process and bring your vision to life?
I was nervous at first, but Carolina eased my worries by sharing her own experience planning a destination wedding at the same time as we were. It was comforting to hear from someone who truly understood, especially since I had never attended a destination wedding before. She also provided us with so much valuable information and took full control of all communication with the resort, which was a huge relief since I’m not the best planner.
Knowing what you know, would you do a destination wedding again?
Oh my gosh, yes! (And I say that with so much relief.) It was the best decision we could have ever made, and I would love to relive that incredible week over and over again
Lastly, do you have any advice for future couples?
If you’re planning a destination wedding, I can’t recommend Destify enough. From my experience, here are a few tips:
Trust Their Expertise: Destify’s team knows these resorts inside and out. They can guide you to venues and vendors that fit your style and budget perfectly. Trust their recommendations, you’ll save so much time and stress.
- Be Open About Your Vision: Be clear with them about what you want, whether it’s simple, extravagant, or somewhere in between. They listen carefully and tailor everything to your dream day.
- Lean on Them for Communication: Let them handle the back and forth with the resort and vendors. It made a huge difference for me, especially since planning isn’t my strong suit.
- Use Their Support Network: Destify doesn’t just plan the wedding, they make sure your guests have everything they need too, from travel questions to resort details.
- Start Early, But Relax: Planning a destination wedding takes time, but with Destify, you’ll feel supported the whole way. I only stressed once, when finalizing the guest list!
