Wedding Packages at Nickelodeon 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)
- Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Nickelodeon Riviera Maya, the beachfront setting naturally delivers a fun, colorful vibe—so couples often choose simple floral focal points and let the resort's playful energy do the heavy lifting.
Upgrades couples actually use

- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
- Entertainment: specialty performers, show add-ons

Nickelodeon 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)

- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, performers, late-night add-ons)
- Private events (welcome dinner, cocktail hour, day-after brunch)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Use the beach setting as your "hero backdrop"—minimal décor needed when the Caribbean does the work
- Plan a welcome cocktail or casual gathering instead of a full second formal event
