Mexico is one of the best places in the world to host a destination wedding. But it's a big country. Even within the hotspot of the Caribbean coast from Cancun, Riviera Maya, and Tulum - there's a lot to choose from. And they all offer completely different experiences.

In this episode filmed live from The Fives Hotel & Residences in Downtown Playa del Carmen (one of our fave wedding resorts), 3 destination wedding experts from Paradise Weddings - Eli, Whitney, and Lindsey - help steer you in the best direction based on your heart's desires and what you envision for your special day.

They break down the key differences between Cancun's hotel zone, the newer Costa Mujeres area, and the diverse Riviera Maya region. Whether you're dreaming of tropical greenery and jungle cenotes, pristine turquoise waters, or clean modern minimalist vibes - they've got you covered.

From couples seeking nightlife and partying to adventure seekers wanting zip lines and snorkeling, they discuss which area best suits different wedding styles, budgets, and guest experiences. They also tackle important logistics like airport proximity, weather backup plans, and whether you're looking for all-inclusive convenience or boutique luxury. Drawing from their experience planning hundreds of weddings, they'll help you find your perfect Mexican wedding destination.
