COVID-19 Update

On June 12th, 2020, the resort announced it would not reopen until November 1, 2020.

We considered the impact COVID-19 has had on our friends and family financially, everyone’s concerns around travelling safely, the possibility of a mandatory quarantine when returning home, and the impact social distancing would have on our celebration.

It’s with heavy hearts (and a few tears) that we have made the decision to postpone the wedding until October 28, 2021.

We want to apologize for disrupting any plans you have already made and we hope you are still able to join us in October 2021. We do not want our day to be anything less than amazing for everyone who chooses to join us.

We promise the party will be worth your troubles. (Darren said, “F*ck it. I’m adding a dessert bar and mariachi band!”)

RSVP Here

Pack your bags, book your flights, and join us in Mexico for a few romantic nights!

Children are welcome.

Your reply is requested by August 31, 2021. Please feel free to submit tentative dates (if you’re reasonably sure you’ll join us) and confirm once your plans have been finalized.

Accomodations

Surrounded by the warm Caribbean waters and the tropical air of the Mexican coast, The Grand Palladium resort will be a magical venue for our unforgettable celebration.

It is located on Mexico’s renowned Riviera Maya, 30 minutes away from Playa del Carmen. There are four amazing options for your stay at The Grand Palladium resort. Please select one that suits your family and budget.

We have had great success booking directly with the hotel. When we stayed in the past, we were able to use codes for 10% and 15% off.

As of June 13, 2020, they are offering a 15% discount using coupon code: COMEBACK.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the room prices have dropped considerably. For example, a Junior Suite at the TRS booked in November 2019 was $2035 US for 7 days. The same suite booked in June 2020 was $1487 US.

If you book directly with the hotel and choose ‘Flexible Rate’, no deposit is required at the time of booking and you are able to cancel up to three days prior to your arrival.

We will be staying at the TRS Yucatan from October 23rd to November 6th, 2021 [UPDATED].

If you have questions or need help deciding, please email us! We’re happy to help.

Flights

We did our best to find a travel agent who could accommodate guests from all over the globe, but no one could offer the best rates for everyone. This is why we decided to leave it to each of our guests to decide how long they would like to stay, and which airline/airport worked best for their family.

It is likely we will have guests departing from Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, London UK, and Bristol UK. Please share your travel plans with us and we will do our best to help coordinate everyone.

If you have questions or need help deciding, please email us! We are happy to help.

Shuttle Service

While Grand Palladium offers free shuttle transfers from the Cancun airport to the resort when you book, we highly recommend booking a private shuttle service. The free shuttle service delivers to multiple resorts, and it can take up to two hours to arrive at the resort. With a private shuttle service, it is a 30-40 minute drive, depending on traffic.
Canada Transfers Private Shuttle Service

Not just for Canadians!

Offering free water and cold towels, this private shuttle service is worth every penny. Their customer service is fabulous, they are easy to find and helpful at the airport. No waiting for other travellers to arrive! Just find your driver and you’re on your way.

If you’d like to wait until our guests are confirmed to book your shuttle, we will do our best to group travellers whenever possible. Please share your travel details with us!

Countdown

We’re counting down the days to the sand and sun, the taco & tequila bar, partying with our friends… and, oh yeah, our wedding!
