Wedding Packages at The Fives Oceanfront Riviera Maya (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)

- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages

The Fives Oceanfront Riviera Maya 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 (rooftop vs. beach vs. restaurant changes setup and AV needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, performers, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: The Roof Venue for elevated views or Beach Venue for classic beachfront vows
- Use lighting (candles/lanterns/uplighting) to elevate reception photos—especially on the rooftop or beach at sunset
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on décor
- Plan a welcome cocktail at RoMarley Beach House or RoMarley Pool Bar instead of a full second formal event
