Not all brides dream of sand under their feet and the ocean waves crashing as they say their vows but for those brides who do the Riu Resort chain makes planning your destination wedding as calming as an ocean breeze.

Just a month away from my own Riu destination wedding, I could not be more pleased with the level of service and attention I have received from my wedding coordinator with the Riu. Booking your wedding is simple, a quick look on the Riu Wedding website will show you available dates and times.  Simply select your date, input your information online and within a day you will receive an email confirming the ceremony, time and destination.  A few clicks of your mouse and you have your wedding date reserved!

Planning my ceremony could not be easier, with multiple packages to choose from, each bride and groom can pick the package to fit their needs from a simple low key beach wedding to an elaborate high end beach wedding. You can even get benefits like a couples massage or discounts on spa treatments for your guests! From receptions with dance floors on the beach to a simple after wedding reception dinner you can create a wedding package to meet your Dreams!

The top notch wedding coordinators at the resort will always keep you updated.  Anytime I’ve sent an email with questions, requests, new guests or confirmations I’ve received a response within a day.  And although my big day hasn’t arrived quite yet, we are anxiously awaiting meeting our wedding coordinator in person and having the wedding of our Dreams!

From start to finish the planning process has been flawless, the hardest decision I’ve still yet to make… How many bathing suits should I bring?
