Jessica and Rick’s Riu Palace Riviera Maya wedding was a wonderful mix of romance, sunshine, and beachy elegance. Set on the white-sand shores of Playa del Carmen, their destination wedding day was full of emotion, ocean breezes, and so many beautiful moments.

They exchanged vows, rings, and had a sand ceremony just steps from the Caribbean Sea with turquoise water, soft waves, and tropical florals creating the dreamiest backdrop. Riu Palace Riviera Maya is such a great resort for couples who want a tropical beach setting that feels both relaxed and luxurious.
