Hey everyone! We are so excited for you to join us in Mexico for our destination wedding!

To us, there is no better way to celebrate this amazing moment in our lives than on a vacation with the people we love the most. We realize that the travel required and associated cost is not convenient for everyone. We fully understand if you are unable to attend and we will send our love from afar! However, we truly hope that you will consider joining us in Mexico to celebrate one of the best days of our lives!

Have fun exploring our website for additional information! #letsgetfreaKINGmarried!

Booking and Guest Information

How do we book?

Deposits are due by JANUARY 1st!

Final payments due in March.

We have chosen the Travel Agent for the group who will be in charge of all booking information. Dana can provide expert guidance to help us all have a great trip! Please contact Dana at dana@drtripstravel.com when you are ready to book. All bookings must be made through Dana and under our group reservation or you will not be able to attend our wedding. 


Below are the group prices PER PERSON for the wedding next year! These include the direct flight, resort stay, and an airport shuttle to and from the resort. The prices also include all food and drinks.
These prices are subject to change depending on where you are flying out of and what days you will be flying. Dana will be able to answer your questions and help out anyone with additional questions about booking, dates, and deposits. 
You only need a deposit of $150 per person to reserve your booking. You can make payments for the whole booking. 

TRS Coral and Grand Palladium (GP) are 2 resorts on one property. TRS is an adults only resort while GP is family friendly. Please see resort information below about the differences between the booking options. 




Important Note:

All single and/or unmarried persons are allowed and encouraged to bring a guest (and have a plus 1 for the wedding). Double room occupancy is more cost effective. You may also bring other friends or family on vacation with you. They just can’t attend the wedding unless invited (or approved by us).

Sister of the Bride I often say "no one can make me more angry than Krystyna can", but what I don't say is that there isn't anyone else who understands me or can make me laugh as hard as her either. I'm pretty bad at making decisions, but deciding to have Krystyna stand next to me as my Matron of Honor was an obvious choice! Cheers to a lifetime of double dates and annoying Jimmy together forever!
