My husband and I were married at Secrets Maroma Beach Resort in Riviera Maya/Cancun and it was wonderful. The wedding coordinators at the resort really went above and beyond for us and it turned out perfect for us. I know this is Cancun but after we were married there my best friend loved the destination wedding so much that her and boyfriend (at the time) decided that's what they wanted.
They were married at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos and it was amazing! Absolutely beautiful and the Secrets wedding staff knocked it out of the park again. They were married on the beach at sunset and it was gorgeous.
With the All-inclusive resorts there are certain wedding packages that are included with your stay. So, if you wanted smaller wedding with say 20 guests or so it would be included in that package. With our wedding, we had right at the minimum number of guests to fit in the smallest wedding package. Then, since we decided to stay there for our honeymoon over 5 nights they comped the price of the wedding package. Every resort is different and offers different things but they mostly revolve around how many guests book rooms and what kind of wedding package you want.
With our friends in Cabo, they had 10 guests extra from what their wedding package allowed so they had to pay extra for each guest for food and such. From what I remember it was not an outrageous amount.
I do not have any experience with any destination weddings in Belize; we have a few agents in my group that have quoted for weddings in Belize but they all said the couples usually would end up choosing Mexico or an all-inclusive resort somewhere else in the Caribbean that was easier to get to. Belize does have SOME all-inclusive resorts but not at many as Mexico/Caribbean. They have more boutique style resorts and hotels. They are all beautiful though! If you see a resort you like you could always ask about what kind of weddings they offer and what all it includes.
I would be happy to answer any other specific questions that you might have and I would be glad to send you pictures of our wedding or my friends wedding in Cabo. lauren at breezecustomtravel dot com
