From the French Riviera to Riviera Maya
One of the biggest celebrity weddings of 2023 (and most well attended) occurred when Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge tied the knot this past April. While the couple hosted their wedding in the French Riviera, we’ve got our own just south of Cancun you’ll love plus the perfect place to host the wedding of the year (yours!): Riu Palace Riviera Maya. Your guests will feel like the stars they are with great added perks from RIU-topia RIU Palace Inclusions, like champagne breakfasts, spa credits and poolside wait service (how luxe?!), plus a lively party on-site every Friday night. Don’t forget about RIU Hotels and Resorts’ elaborate wedding packages to help you match your wedding vision. Wedding-version Sofia is totally a state of mind – do it up!
Gold medal worthy weddings
In April, record-smashing Olympian Simone Biles and her American football star boo Jonathan Owens officially said “I do” with a civil ceremony in Houston before celebrating their love with a stunning Los Cabos destination wedding! Looking out over the beach, the couple exchanged their vows in an elegant ceremony beneath a floral wedding arch. You can capture some of that majesty – and views – when you host your big day at the beach venue at Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort Adults Only! With a direct line of sight to the Caribbean Sea, start the next chapter framed by a beautiful wedding arbour just like Simone or raise the bar further (get it?) at the resort’s Sky Wedding terrace offering an elevated ambience!

No paps, no problems
Sometimes the stars don’t want to be in the spotlight (fame, am I right?!) – that’s why this year actors Justin Long and Kate Bosworth took the leap with a quiet elopement in May in the City of Dreams – or New York City. If you’re looking to get away to a secluded paradise destination and elope with your most cherished friends and family, or just your special someone, Cayo Largo is your island oasis! The adults only Sanctuary at Grand Memories Cayo Largo offers the Just the Two of Us package for private elopements, equipped with everything a couple needs for a memorable ceremony, from the assistance of an on-site wedding coordinator to their choice of decorated wedding venue and a complimentary honeymoon package included!
Make your wedding day a homerun
Any sports fans out there? On January 7, Oakland A’s outfielder Greg Deichmann wed his fiancée Burckel Gervais (now Deichmann) at one of our fave resorts, the award-winning Grand Velas Los Cabos! This luxury resort offers a range of wedding packages and stunning venues to host your wedding but if you’re looking to re-create this star couple’s nuptials, Azul Beach is the way to go with sweeping coastal views and the sounds of crashing waves in the background. After tying the knot, Greg and Burckel celebrated with a buffet-style dinner and dance party in a white tent illuminated with string lights – our Sunwing Weddings Consultants can put you in touch with the resort’s coordinators to help you capture this look!
