The Brief
The couple were US-based, with guests flying in from 14+ cities including DC, Houston, Atlanta, and the West Coast. They wanted an intimate-but-meaningful celebration in October that didn't compete with summer hurricane season but stayed inside their budget. 100 guests, 3-night block, symbolic ceremony.
Why Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres
Three factors:
- Free wedding package threshold matched their group size: Majestic Resorts offers a complimentary wedding package at 15 rooms × 7 nights or 105 total room nights. The couple's 45-room × 3-night block (135 room nights) cleared that threshold and saved approximately \$1,750 on the base wedding package.
- All-inclusive scope: Majestic includes all resort taxes, gratuities, and basic Wi-Fi in the per-person nightly rate, simplifying guest budgeting.
- October pricing: October is shoulder season at Cancún-area resorts. Group rates ran 25–30% below January-February peak pricing while weather risk stays low (October is past peak hurricane season).
The 3-Day Schedule
- Day 1 (arrival): Group check-in, welcome cocktail at the lobby bar
- Day 2: Beach time, optional group excursion to Isla Mujeres
- Day 3: Symbolic ceremony at the beach venue, followed by cocktail hour and plated dinner reception with DJ
