Wedding Packages at Royal Solaris Cancun (What They Typically Include)

Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Weddings in Paradise, Eternal Love, and Beyond Memorable) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.

Common inclusions (base tiers)

  • On-site wedding coordination + planning support
  • Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
  • Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
  • Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
  • Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Royal Solaris Cancun, the beachfront gazebo is the signature ceremony location—build your timeline around late-afternoon light for the best photo results.

Upgrades couples actually use

  • Reception: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night snacks
  • Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
  • Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
  • Entertainment: specialty performers, show add-ons
  • Photography/video, hair & makeup, spa services
Planning shortcut: Since the gazebo is already a defined focal point, keep décor simple (aisle petals + statement florals) and invest in lighting for the reception.

Royal Solaris Cancun Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price

Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most:

The biggest cost drivers

  • Guest count (more people usually means larger private events + more food/beverage)
  • Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
  • Venue choice (beachfront vs. covered event space changes setup and weather backup)
  • Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
  • Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, performers, late-night add-ons)

Smart "value" moves

  • Spend on ceremony focal points (gazebo florals + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
  • Use the natural gazebo structure—minimal build-out needed for a beautiful ceremony backdrop
  • Choose a sunset ceremony time for the best natural light (no need to rent extra lighting for photos)
  • Plan a welcome cocktail at Lobby Bar instead of a full second formal event
  • Use lighting (candles/lanterns/uplighting) to elevate reception photos without major décor spend
