With a name like Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, it’s no surprise that this is a resort that prioritizes and perfects romance. In fact, one could imagine this all-inclusive, adults-only resort was built for it, especially when you look at the different on-site areas that look readymade for wedding ceremony backdrops.
As with any Riviera Maya beach resort worth its (sea) salt, the beach at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya is a sparkling gem in a sea of … well, seas. It’s big enough to accommodate up to 150 guests but can be made intimate for just two with à la carte options.
A popular outdoor venue for larger parties is the gazebo, a beautiful white Mediterranean stucco-style building with wood-toned pergola accents. This structure covers up to 80 and is a no-additional-cost choice for all the property’s wedding packages. It’s also a great place to set up for the cocktail portion of the event, with a minimum of 10 people, or for the reception itself if the RSVP list is between 20 and 60.
For something a little less formal and more romantic, a picturesque bridge on the property is another popular place for couples to say their vows. Intimate weddings of up to 12 are welcome to say their vows here as part of any of the available packages.
Also available for weddings is the Chapel San Valentin. This exclusively Catholic venue offers a mix of contemporary minimalism and traditional rustic accents in its design and décor, making it suitable for various wedding styles for those of the faith.
Regardless, the reasonably priced packages offered by Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya come with a lot more than just reserved locations. The entry-level “Eternal Love” package, which starts at $1,299 with taxes and service charges already factored in, includes an on-site wedding coordinator, symbolic ceremony certificate, white ceremony set-up, services of a non-denominational minister, your pick of a bridal bouquet and boutonniere from their available catalog, sound system and mic for the ceremony, romantic room decoration with rose petal turn-down, breakfast in bed the day after, a special romantic dinner and resort credit, not even counting a 20% spa discount for massages.
The “One and Only” package adds on flower petals for the ceremony aisle, complimentary pressing of the couple’s wedding attire, a sparkling wine toast after the ceremony, an hourlong cocktail party with canapes and cake, a moisturizing facial treatment, preferred room assignments and a complimentary room upgrade if available — all of which extends to up to 20 guests, which is double that of “Eternal Love.”
“Heavenly Moments” is the crème de la crème of the offerings, and tacks on a non-denominational minister, a pro photographer for the ceremony, 45 minutes of live music during the ceremony or the hourlong cocktail party for up to 30, a four-hour reception, setup for both events, a wedding cake, romantic dinner for the wedding couple at any of our specialty restaurants, hair and makeup for one, a complimentary couples massage, private airport transfers, guaranteed room upgrade and a complimentary anniversary night.
While that offers all the traditional bells and whistles, couples can also have a wedding experience that speaks more to a sense of place. Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya also offers a Mayan wedding, with copal incense, blessings, sacred drinks and more in a special bundle designed for only two.
No matter the size of the wedding party, it’s important to talk to every guest about the importance of adding Travel Protection Plus (TPP) with Cancel for Any Reason to their travel plans, especially since the event is dependent on other members of their party and, most importantly, the couple themselves. Bookable through Funjet Vacations, TPP will cover them for a wide range of potential travel hiccups.
