We are extremely happy to be at this point in our lives. As we reflect on each of our paths, we recognize how blessed we are to have such amazing friends and family. Because you have been so important to the people we have become, we invite you to join us in the Riviera Maya to celebrate the beginning of our marriage together!

We realize that joining us will cost more than a typical wedding, so we have worked hard to minimize the costs. If you cannot attend, we will certainly understand. Upon our return, we will be hosting a wedding celebration for those who are unable to join us.

 

If you are able to come to Mexico , we cannot think of a better way to celebrate our covenant than to take a break from next winter's deep freeze with our friends and family! For those of you with babies and tikes, you are welcome to bring the whole family as the resort is family-friendly with activities for people of all ages.

Our goal is to make the planning process as easy as possible; if you have any questions about the information provided here, please feel free to contact us.

Love,
Lauren & J.T.

The Details :

Ceremony dress code: Dressy casual

Gift Registry: We understand that the expenses incurred to join us in Mexico will be significant; therefore we are not encouraging those attending the wedding to bring a gift. However, for those of you who would like to, we are registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond (www.bedbathandbeyond.com) and Crate and Barrel (www.crateandbarrel.com).

Weather in Tulum:

The climate in Tulum is a warm tropical climate - hot and humid. The average temperature is
78 °F. Occasional rain can occur throughout the year with the wettest months being May to October, but the seasons are not as exaggerated in the Yucatán peninsula as on the Pacific coast. Most of the time it is hot and not too humid, ideal conditions for a popular year-round resort.

Airport Transfers:

Transfers from the airport to the resort will be included with your hotel package (see below for pricing). This is a shared-ride transfer and may stop at other resorts before dropping you at Dreams Tulum. You can upgrade your package to include nonstop transfers and Christine will give you that information when you talk to her about booking your trip!


The Hotel:

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa - Mexico
UNLIMITED-LUXURY® DEFINED

Ancient wonders... modern pleasures.

Tulum held a mystical power over the ancient Mayan civilization which built its world famous pyramids here. Today, this remarkable area on the Mayan Riviera continues to be revered, not only for its history, but its extraordinary beauty and hospitality.

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is a luxurious vacation sanctuary for families, couples and friends offering the privileges of Unlimited-Luxury® —where everything is included. Located along the famed Riviera Maya, the glorious colors of our classic colonial hacienda and contemporary architecture are set against a brilliant white beach, deeply azure sea and multihued greens of tall palms.

Within our “Dreamscape” are a wealth of luxury accommodations, sensuous spa services, exquisite dining and lounges and other leisure opportunities — more than enough to fill your days, nights and memories. Our impeccable quality and services have earned us the elite recognition awarded by Preferred Hotel & Resorts Worldwide. But the honored approval we seek most is yours.

From the moment we greet your arrival, your surroundings and services will entrance you:

  • Set among elegantly manicured gardens, our luxurious amenity-filled Dreams and Hacienda rooms and suites await you.

  • Seven international restaurants and six lounges serving gourmet fare and unlimited premium brand beverages.
  • 24-hour room and concierge services.
  • Supervised Mayan theme Explorer's Club for kids lets everyone enjoy their own time in their own way.
  • The mystical pyramids of Tulum are just five minutes away. Just 30 minutes to the shopping and nightlife of Playa del Carmen.
  • A friendly, fastidious staff who will make you feel like the honored guest you are.

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa. A magical oasis of history, mystery and Unlimited-Luxury®— where everything is included — especially perfection.


The Location:

The Riviera Maya is a 112 mile stretch of paradise along the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula. The Iberostar Quetzal Resort is located only 10 minutes from the resort town of Playa del Carmen, where you will find a wide range of restaurants, bars, markets, art galleries, fine jewelry stores and more.

When you arrive into Cancun, you will enjoy a scenic drive south to the Riviera Maya, with its unspoiled beaches, turquoise waters, tropical jungles and Mayan Ruins. With its proximity to Cancun, Cozumel and the most popular sites of the Yucatan it is no wonder that the Rivera Maya continues to be a favorite among vacationers.

While there are enough activities at your hotel to fill several vacations, if you want to venture out on your own, the Riviera Maya is a convenient distance from Isla Mujeres and Cancun—and extending south to the Mayan ruins at Tulum, Cozumel, Chichén Itzá, and Cobá. These are all within day-trip distance. www.rivieramaya.com
