Favorite Thing About the Resort

The size — Hyatt Ziva Cancun was the perfect scale to actually spend meaningful time with all 86 guests throughout the week. Kortney says she loved everything about the resort and honestly isn't sure she could stay at another all-inclusive after experiencing the Hyatt Ziva. That says it all.

Why They Chose Love to Travel

"I knew we would need a lot of help making travel arrangements for all of our guests and my mom had recommended Love to Travel — they had planned another vacation for a group of hers in the past. I'm so thankful we used Love to Travel. It made wedding planning so simple and easy. They helped us pick the perfect resort, made the travel arrangements a breeze, and they even performed our legal ceremony before the wedding in Mexico. It was absolutely perfect."

Advice to Other Couples

Skip the resort's official pre-wedding trip and arrive a few days before your guests instead. Sean and Kortney did exactly that — met with their wedding coordinator, had all the details sorted in a couple of hours, enjoyed the spa, a couples massage, and a private dinner overlooking the ocean. The coordinators at Hyatt Ziva know exactly what they are doing and the pre-trip simply isn't necessary.

💡 Arrival tip from Sean & Kortney Arriving a few days early gives you quiet time together before the celebration begins — and it's the perfect opportunity to invite family to arrive early too, before the friend group descends. Having that more personal time with close relatives before the party starts made a big difference for them, and it's something they'd recommend to every couple planning a destination wedding.

And the guests? They've already told Sean and Kortney they want to be invited back for the one-year anniversary trip. That's the sign of a wedding week done right.

Favorite Wedding Memory

The reception — it was almost surprising how many guests shut it down completely. A ton of fun celebrating with friends and family all night long.

Favorite Thing About the Resort

The location and layout of Hyatt Ziva Cancun — multiple beaches, multiple pools, and plenty of bars, yet surprisingly easy to navigate for a large wedding group. Guests could always find each other and hang out together throughout the week, which made the whole celebration feel connected from arrival to departure.

Recommended Excursion

Golf — Cancún has excellent courses nearby and it's a great way for guests to spend a free day off the resort.

Why They Chose Love to Travel

"We partnered with Love to Travel to make sure all our guests would be taken care of and could have all their questions answered. They made it so easy for all 100 guests — transportation was seamless, schedule changes were handled without stress, and they were a huge help in getting us connected with the wedding coordinator and giving us advice on where to go. Couldn't have managed a group that size without them."

Advice to Other Couples

Find a resort that you are confident you and your guests will love — and Hyatt Ziva Cancun delivered on that completely. Their guests said it was one of their favorite resorts they'd ever been to. Remember that your guests are spending real money to come celebrate with you, so choose a resort that feels like a vacation for them too.

And don't panic if it feels like not much has been planned in the early stages. The wedding coordinators at the resort know exactly what they're doing and will keep you on schedule. They typically don't need everything finalized far in advance — trust the process.

Something They'd Do Differently

Wouldn't have changed a thing.

Anniversary Plans
