I’ve never used a travel agent before, why should i use one to help plan my destination wedding?

Travel agents are an invaluable source of information. We have been to, stayed at, or toured all the properties we recommend, and we have worked with hundreds of properties so we know which ones work best with groups or give the best discounts. Plus, it costs you and your guests nothing to work with us! If a hotel oversells and bumps one of your guests to another property, we are there to help keep that from happening. If your guests have questions about the location or property, we can answer those questions so you have one less thing to worry about. Anytime a guest needs to change their booking, they will call us, not you - and they change their bookings a lot!

Why shouldn’t i book my destination wedding group directly with the hotel?

Instead of asking why you shouldn’t book direct with the hotel, you should ask how it benefits you to book direct. (Hint: it doesn’t!). You should receive the same rates with us as you do with the hotel direct, so why not get the free added benefits of using a travel agent, too? Plus, there are some promos and concessions we offer that you cannot get from the hotel directly.

I always book “packages” on an online booking engine, it’s cheaper to do that. why should i use you instead?

Online booking websites have done a great job marketing that booking packages on their site is less expensive than other methods of booking because that is mostly a myth. Travel agents have access to discounts that you cannot get elsewhere - even for individual travel. Plus there are extra perks to using a travel agent that you won’t get when booking with a website like 24/7 service while in travel and a real, live person to call or e-mail for any assistance needed. Most of the time, our group rates are discounted and the packages are not cheaper.

Why should I use Barefoot Bridal instead of one of the bigger agencies i found online?

By being smaller, we add so much more value that you cannot get from bigger agencies, especially the personalized service. Every agent has been a destination wedding bride, we know exactly how it feels and what we would want in your shoes. There are some things we provide that other agencies don’t, like a custom website for your guests to book online with ease instead of calling and trying to reach someone to process a payment over the phone. If your guests want to call and speak to someone, there’s always someone available during our business hours for non-in-travel emergencies or they can email us and we will usually respond within the same day. You just won’t get that type of personalized service elsewhere.

My family wants us to use the family travel agent (or a local agent), why should we use you instead?

Destination wedding and group travel is not like individual bookings. You want an agent who is a destination wedding specialist so they’re familiar with all the ins-and-outs of the process, an expert in the contract process, and someone who sends hundreds of groups annually so that there’s leverage with the hotels. We admit we are not experts in everything, we wouldn’t suggest using us for a trip to Italy, but when it comes to destination weddings, elopements, romance, honeymoon and group travel, we’re your go to experts!

Have you worked with this hotel before?

With nearly a decade of experience, we have either stayed at, toured, and/or booked nearly every brand! Here are some of our favorite hotel brands for destination weddings: Sandals, Beaches, Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, Palace Resorts, Hard Rock, Ava, Unico, Royalton and the Hideaway at Royalton, Majestic Colonial, Majestic Elegance, and Majestic Mirage, Paradisus by Melia, Valentin Imperial, Ocean by H10 Hotels, Azul Beach, Generations Resorts and El Dorado Resorts by Lomas Hospitality, Palladium Hotel Group, and Riu.

Hotel Xcaret México: The Ultimate Luxury Destination Wedding Resort

Hotel Xcaret México: Unique, Gorgeous, and Truly Unforgettable

Hotel Xcaret México is one of the most unique and stunning destination wedding resorts you will ever come across. Every inch of this property feels magical. The architecture blends natural stone, lush greenery, and water in a way that makes the entire resort feel like a luxury nature sanctuary.

I’ve personally stayed here, and I absolutely loved my experience. The food was excellent, the staff was warm and attentive, the property was breathtaking, and the wedding venues were next level. In fact, it is one of the few resorts I think about often and cannot wait to revisit.

The All Fun Inclusive Experience

What truly sets Hotel Xcaret México apart is its All Fun Inclusive program. With your stay, you and your guests receive unlimited access to all the Xcaret parks and attractions, and transportation to and from the parks is included.

As a result, this resort is perfect for destination wedding groups. You can plan unforgettable adventures together without paying extra for excursions. Instead of coordinating activities and transportation separately, everything is built into your stay. Consequently, your wedding becomes more than a celebration—it becomes a shared experience your guests will remember for years.

Exceptional Food and Service

The food throughout the resort is delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. From fine dining restaurants to casual bites, every meal feels intentional. The ceviche, tacos, grilled seafood, and pastries were particular standouts. Best of all, there is truly something for everyone.

Likewise, the service is consistently excellent. Staff members are attentive and friendly, and they take genuine pride in creating a seamless experience. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed and cared for.

Elegant Rooms Inspired by Nature

The rooms are modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to bring nature indoors while still feeling luxurious. Stone accents, wood tones, and warm lighting create a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, many rooms offer incredible views of the river, jungle, or ocean, which makes it even easier to disconnect and unwind.

Xcaret México Wedding Venues Are Straight Out of a Fairytale

The Chapel is one of the resort’s most iconic ceremony locations. Perched high above the landscape, it offers panoramic views of the jungle and river and is perfect for couples seeking a meaningful and unforgettable ceremony.

Meanwhile, Las Cuevas delivers a completely different experience. This cave-style venue creates a mystical, romantic atmosphere that feels like getting married inside a natural cathedral.

For couples who want a tropical setting, Caleta is a stunning waterfront venue surrounded by lush greenery and crystal-clear water. It feels intimate, serene, and like a hidden paradise.

Similarly, Playón Pirámide offers a dramatic and distinctive setting with its grand stone walkway and breathtaking ceremony backdrop.

If you prefer an indoor celebration, Salón Xcaret is an elegant option. It is polished, spacious, and air-conditioned while still reflecting the resort’s natural aesthetic.

Finally, the Garden venues provide softness, greenery, and tropical elegance. They are ideal for couples looking for something airy, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful.

Wedding Packages with Thoughtful Inclusions

Hotel Xcaret México designs its wedding packages to create a beautiful and seamless experience from start to finish.

Packages generally include ceremony setup, florals, sound, wedding cake, sparkling wine, professional photography, a private cocktail hour, a private reception, upgraded linens, a dedicated wedding specialist, and romantic amenities for the newlyweds.

Pricing varies depending on the venue, guest count, and package selected. However, the value is exceptional when you consider the quality of the food, service, and venues.
