Complete Guide to a Destination Wedding at Unico 2087 Riviera Maya


UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya destination wedding

There really is nothing finer than turning your wedding into a vacation for yourself and your loved ones. Hosting your special day abroad is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to create a totally immersive experience for your guests. After all, what goes together better than romance and travel?


When it comes to destination weddings, Mexico has always been a top choice, and for good reason. Here, you’ll find some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet (imagine going down the aisle to the soothing sound of waves), sunny days nearly all year round, exceptional culinary experiences, and plenty of opportunities for adventure and fun. 


One of the biggest benefits of saying your ‘I dos’ in Mexico is the convenience of all-inclusive resorts, which allow couples to easily plan their special day without organizing everything from scratch. 


While there are many special destination wedding venues in Mexico, few compare to UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya. Set on the awe-inspiring white beaches of Riviera Maya, the adults-only hotel is designed to reflect its Mexican heritage. With its five-star service, breathtaking surroundings, and customizable wedding packages, it has everything you need to plan your dream day.


What can you expect from a UNICO 2087 wedding? How much does organizing your special day at the all-inclusive resort cost? Is there anything you should be aware of? We cover these and more questions in the guide below.


Why Choose UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya For Your Destination Wedding?

If you’re dreaming of a tropical wedding, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect place to do it than UNICO 2087. The adults-only hotel, located on a remote stretch of shoreline in Riviera Maya, is heritage-inspired, which is reflected in its thoughtful design and handcrafted details everywhere. Sandwiched between Xpu-Ha and Akumal, the accommodation feels secluded and tranquil, yet is still close enough to experience all the best of Riviera Maya.


One of the best bits of celebrating a wedding in Mexico is the amazing food.  UNICO 2087 includes five dining options, each offering a delicious menu inspired by ingredients sourced from local producers. From the textures of the textiles to the artistry of the plating, each restaurant takes you to a different culinary world the moment you step through the door. A brand-new French restaurant is also set to open later this year, so the culinary experience is only getting better.


The rooms at UNICO 2087 are spacious and thoughtfully designed, blending rustic Mexican luxury with handcrafted furniture, locally sourced art, and natural textures. Cool tones, layered materials, and subtle details create a calming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and romance.


Each room or suite also includes a Local Host – your personal butler – who’s there to take care of anything you need. You and your guests will love staying here during the celebrations – it’s the kind of place that makes you wish the weekend would never end.


Although the amenities and services are truly five-star and deserve all the hype, what makes UNICO 2087 such a great place to tie the knot is its all-inclusive model. When you book a wedding here, all your needs will be handled. The hotel’s dedicated wedding specialists will guide you through the entire process, helping you with venues, décor, menus, entertainment, and even last-minute details. If you prefer a more hands-off approach and the heavy lifting done for you, it’s a great option!


Who This Venue Is Perfect For

When it comes to wedding venues, there is no one-size-fits-all. After all, no couple is the same. So how can you know if the five-star hotel is the right decision for you and your boo? 


UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya is ideal for couples who want a stylish, stress-free (and kid-free!) destination wedding that feels both luxurious and cherished. Since the hotel and its wedding packages are fully customizable, it will be a great fit no matter if you prefer upscale, boho-chic, or traditional wedding experiences. At UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya, both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations will be unforgettable experiences.


Although destination weddings are typically associated with higher costs, it’s often the opposite. In fact, a destination wedding could potentially save you some dough (especially when you take advantage of the resort’s wedding collections and work with their preferred suppliers). According to data, the average cost of a local wedding in the U.S. is $33,000, while a destination wedding for 30 to 40 people averages $12,000–$15,000.


So, if you're planning your big day on a budget, saying “I do” on Riviera Maya’s sandy beaches might be a smart (and beautiful) way to go.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Package for Your Special Day?

The sheer number of decisions that go into planning your ‘I dos’ can give even the most clear-eyed lovebirds a serious case of decision fatigue. So, before you settle for any of the offered packages, you and your significant other should take some time to agree on the wedding elements that matter the most for each of you. 


What are the non-negotiables? How much are you willing to spend on your special day? How do you envision your ceremony?


Remember that UNICO’s wedding packages can be customized to fit your needs, and you can always add additional details, like bistro lights, fireworks, chandeliers, fog, and other enhancements to make the day more ‘you.’


Wedding Locations at UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya

Sure, deciding on your outfit is paramount, but nothing defines your nuptials’ experience more than the choice of location. In fact, the ‘where’ is one of the most exciting parts of the wedding planning process. At UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya, you can choose to have your ceremony in five different spaces. Many of these locations also double as stunning backdrops for cocktail parties, welcome events, or even wedding after-parties.


Legendary Terrace: Offering panoramic views of the hotel, this terrace will be a great fit for intimate weddings of up to 20 guests. Only available in the evenings, it also makes an excellent spot for cocktail hour or a welcome party.


Beach: Couples craving a fairy-tale-worthy beach wedding can say their vows with the ocean as their backdrop. Ideal for smaller events (up to 30 guests), this location is as dreamy as it gets.


Poolside Venue – Looking for something more elegant? Exchange your vows with 40 of your closest loved ones near the hotel’s beautiful pool area, which also transforms into a charming restaurant space in the evening for an intimate dinner celebration.


Costera and Nayade Terrace – These spacious, paved venues are perfect for larger celebrations and ready to be transformed to match your vision. Costera Terrace can accommodate up to 140 guests for a seated reception, while Nayade Terrace can host up to 450, making both fantastic options for an open-air celebration under the stars.


Gazebo – Tucked away on the far side of the resort, the Gazebo offers a private, garden-style escape that fits around 80 guests. If you prefer something quieter, with a classic touch, this might be the best option!


Practical Aspects of Getting Married in Riviera Maya

Since legal requirements for getting married in Mexico can be tricky (you’ll be required to present an original blood test, among other documents), many couples find it easier to make their marriage official at home and have a symbolic ceremony abroad instead.


That said, couples who prefer to get legally married at UNICO 2087 can do so, but should be aware that an administrative fee of $1,200–$1,500 (depending on the chosen day) applies to all civil ceremonies.


Unlike some other destination locations, Mexico is generally LGBTQ-friendly, and UNICO 2087 is proud to provide the same high level of service, respect, and care to all couples celebrating their love at the resort.


UNICO 2087 is also an incredible choice for South Asian weddings. The team is well-versed in honoring cultural traditions and blending them seamlessly with the resort’s signature luxury touches. Whether it’s a vibrant Sangeet, an elegant ceremony, or a high-energy reception, every event is treated with the utmost care.


What Is the Best Time of Year to Get Married at UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya?

One of the best things about Mexico is its year-round warm weather, making it a favorite for destination weddings. That said, April to mid-September is considered sargassum season in Riviera Maya, when seaweed can sometimes affect the beach. If you're dreaming of oceanfront vows but don't want to shift your wedding date, don't worry, UNICO 2087 offers a variety of stunning ceremony locations beyond the beach, so your day will be picture-perfect no matter what nature has in store.


Usually, the weather between January and March is also lovely, but keep in mind the prices will be higher during spring break.


To make sure you secure your spot for your UNICO wedding, you should lock in your date 12 to 18 months before.


Final Thoughts

Mexico is a land of mesmerizing beauty, fascinating culture, and endless romance, so it’s no surprise it’s one of the top wedding destinations in the world. While there are plenty of incredible venues to choose from, few are as special as UNICO 2087 Riviera Maya. With breathtaking backdrops at every turn and exceptional hospitality, it’s the perfect place to start your forever somewhere extraordinary
