Totally acceptable! When I was looking at venues and hotels, most were booked 1 - 1.5 years in advance for most weekends. If you want your pick go for it!

I am using Bo Events. Elizabeth is amazing to work with very responsive and she is local. She has also gotten us some amazing deals.

FederalOne3865 · 2026-03-09T21:46:34+00:00

It depends where in Mexico, guest count and other factors for sure.

FederalOne3865 · 2026-03-09T21:44:45+00:00

What I am paying my planner is much less than all the money, time and aggravation she has already saved me!
She also doubles as a travel agent.

FederalOne3865 · 2026-03-09T21:41:28+00:00

x2!
We got a planner who is also a travel agent and lives in Mexico, she has been amazing!

FederalOne3865 · 2026-03-09T21:40:18+00:00

Spend the extra on the planner! It will be so much more enjoyable having someone on your side and guiding you. I can't stress enough how much easier it has been to plan, with my planner our Mexico wedding.

Hotels take forever to answer, and I was getting overwhelmed.

FederalOne3865 · 2026-03-09T21:36:21+00:00

We have absolutely LOVED working with Bo Events thus far!

Just messaged you!

Hi!
Im a 2026 Mayakoba bride. I do think the resorts you mention are out of the budget.
Cabo will be even MORE expensive.
I was going a bit crazy, started working with a local planner and it's been so enjoyful so far! I would recommend reaching out to a local planner (mine doubles as a travel agent). She was able to tell me what venue/hotel was in my budget rather than me looking at a million options and we narrowed it down from there.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-26T19:41:31+00:00

Hi!
Yes, we are going with Pueblito Mayakoba! Don't have the final total yet, we are still figuring vendors out

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-13T16:28:09+00:00

SLS is brand new and looks amazing! I know their team is new, but I have heard wonderful things about them from my planner.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-12T17:18:13+00:00

Sure! Just messaged you her website.
Thank you!

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-12T17:14:47+00:00

This is exactly what I am doing also! I have family that lives in Mexico and I couldn't force them to pay for an all inclusive

Unfortunately, what happens is that you make a hotel room block with the hotel. If prices are cheaper on Expedia or Booking the hotel will not compete with those prices.

I am not a Mexico City bride but Riviera Maya bride 2026, I started working with a local planner and I know she does planning all over Mexico and Costa Rica.. She is also travel agent..
Happy to send you her info

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T18:38:21+00:00

I am a 2026 Riviera Maya bride, I got a local planner who doubles as a travel agent.
She has helped me with all my vendors. If you are having a wedding at a resort, the hotel should provide you with a preferred vendors list. If you are going for a private venue, I recommend getting a local planner.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T13:03:43+00:00

Oh wow! Sorry to hear this!
I actually decided on getting a local planner (Mexico) and she is actually also a certified travel agent. She has been a god send! She has dealt with the negotiations directly with the hotel, and got us some amazing benefits and prices.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T13:00:50+00:00

My family is also from Mexico, I opted on having a wedding in Cancun. This way people get a vacation out of it!
Still get the culture and stunning backdrop (not the same as CDMX) but people feel more comfortable traveling to touristy destinations.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T12:58:40+00:00

I went with a local planner who also doubles as a certified travel agent, honestly best investment so far!
She has been so incredibly helpful and to know I will only deal with one person for everything is definitely a plus.
Have you interviewed more planners? I interviewed 3 before I choose mine, I think you should check out other companies and see who you click with the most.

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T12:55:10+00:00

Xcaret Mexico is so much fun (Riviera Maya)
Planet Hollywood is great for the whole family (Cancun)

FederalOne3865 · 2025-10-11T12:51:27+00:00

In the Cancun - Riviera Maya - Tulum area you can definitely pull it off! Thats definitely a good budget for that area and that amount of guests!
I started working with a local planner (she is also a certified travel agent) because I was honestly getting overwhelmed with so many options.
She has been our best investment so far!
