After navigating the ups and downs of wedding planning, the couple was drawn to the idea of a destination wedding—an experience that would be more than just a single day but a memorable weekend for all. Surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters and soft sands of Maroma Beach, their big day was not only a romantic and joyful gathering but also a chance to spend quality time with their guests in a paradise-like setting. 

Why A Secrets Maroma Wedding

When Emily and Stephen first approached me, they had already spent hours researching destination wedding resorts in Mexico but felt overwhelmed by options. They were seeking a resort that was adults-only, medium-sized, offered all-inclusive amenities, and could host multiple events over a wedding weekend. After presenting them with five premier resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, they chose Secrets Maroma Beach

Emily and Stephen appreciated that Secrets Maroma is not only conveniently located 35 minutes from Cancun’s airport but also offers an intimate, mid-size resort feeling. The resort provided the perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion, making it ideal for their celebration. With its pristine beach—ranked among the best in the world—its newly renovated spaces, and its exclusive atmosphere there was no doubt that Secrets Maroma was the perfect choice for Emily and Stephen!

All Inclusive Resort Priorities 

Emily and Stephen had a few key priorities when it came to choosing an all-inclusive resort. First, they wanted an adults-only atmosphere with a strong reputation for delivering excellent wedding services. They also prioritized good food and drinks, pool bars, and affordability, and they wanted to provide plenty of opportunities for guests to socialize throughout the weekend.

Of course, like many couples planning a destination wedding, they had some concerns. Emily admitted that she was anxious about travel logistics and wanted the process to be as smooth as possible as they had family and friends travel from across the U.S.A.

The exceptional team at Secrets Maroma, led by wedding coordinator Elizabeth, was instrumental in alleviating these worries. From answering travel questions to accommodating last-minute guest changes, the Secrets Maroma team ensured everyone felt well-supported.

The Wedding Weekend 

Emily and Stephen wanted their wedding weekend to be truly unforgettable. Instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner, I helped them arrange a private catamaran excursion for their guests the day before the wedding. This four-hour sail was a unique and enjoyable experience that everyone will cherish for years to come. Complete with snorkeling, stunning views, and a relaxed, festive atmosphere the excursion was the perfect way for this couple and their guests to kick off their wedding weekend.

On their wedding day, Emily and Stephen opted for a beach wedding ceremony at 5 p.m., taking advantage of Secrets Maroma’s beautiful beachfront location. The ceremony area, situated in a serene section of the resort, provided an intimate setting with unobstructed ocean views. After their vows, the newlyweds took newlywed portraits while their guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in the nearby poolside area.

The reception followed at the resort’s poolside gazebo, creating an elegant, open-air venue for dining and dancing. Emily and Stephen kept the decor simple, allowing the natural beauty of the location to shine. The food and beverages, provided by the resort’s acclaimed culinary team, received high praise from the guests as they relaxed and enjoyed the evening’s festivities.

From The Newlyweds

When I asked Emily and Stephen about their experience, they were quick to express their gratitude for Secrets Maroma’s wedding team. Elizabeth, their wedding coordinator, provided prompt responses and was flexible in accommodating every request, from room setups to last-minute changes. She ensured that the bride’s preparation area was ready, managed guest arrivals, and even arranged for the safe handling of their personal wedding items throughout the evening.

Emily and Stephen’s advice to future destination couples is to place trust in their destination wedding travel agent (that’s me!) and their resort’s wedding coordinator. At Secrets Maroma, the wedding team has extensive experience and hosts weddings regularly. They know the venue inside and out and are there to help bring your dream destination wedding vision to life!

As for the guests, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many remarked on the resort’s beauty, its attentive service, and the seamless experience coordinated by both the Secrets Maroma team and myself. A number of attendees even expressed an interest in returning to the resort in the future. By providing comprehensive travel assistance and answering questions promptly, KP Travel Group ensured that Emily and Stephen’s guests felt supported, making the weekend even more memorable.


It was an absolute pleasure having the opportunity to work with Emily and Stephen on their Secrets Maroma wedding in Riviera Cancun. From an elegant beach ceremony to a poolside wedding reception and even a private catamaran adventure, their wedding weekend was a joyful, stress-free, and memorable celebration.
