We love any excuse for a beach break, but there are legit practical reasons to visit your resort in advance of your wedding weekend. You’re probably maxed out between work and wedding stress anyway, so plan a little reconnaissance mission to relax together while you map out the celebration.

Scout Ceremony Locations
Most resorts have several venue options for both the ceremony and reception. Carolina Villalobos, Wedding Sales Manager at Secrets Impression Moxché Playa del Carmen, notes, “We’re lucky to have some of the most breathtaking locations: a mystical cenote, an elegant beachfront gazebo and the show-stopping rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Cozumel and the Caribbean Sea. Each space has its own magic; it just depends on the couple’s vision.”

Plan Wedding Activities
Once you preview flower arrangements, feel linens, taste entrées, sip beverages and sample cakes, fill out the rest of the wedding weekend. Add festive group activities, welcome events and post-wedding adventures. Treat yourself and your guests to wellness elements like a hydrotherapy circuit or a pampering manicure and pedicure session. Bring along parents or members of the wedding party on your preview trip to help evaluate all the options.
Affordable Rates
Couples can book up to three nights for a wedding preview stay at select Sandals resorts at deeply discounted rates. This Sunday-to-Wednesday stay includes a resort tour, cake and sparkling wine tasting and a meet-and-greet with the photography team. Taste globally inspired flavors at multiple restaurants with unlimited pours of Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines — plus, bring home a complimentary 5x7 portrait.
