Build your Rosewood Mayakoba wedding day backwards from sunset: ceremony about 90 minutes before, family photos right after, portraits of the two of you in the last 30 minutes. Allow for the time it takes to move across the property.
The biggest mistake with a wedding at this resort is underestimating distance. Suites, lagoon and beach are a boat or a cart apart. A timeline that works on paper can eat your best light. Here is one that protects it.
Working Back From Sunset
Four hours before. Details and getting ready, at your suite.
Two and a half hours before. First look, ideally on your dock.
90 minutes before. Ceremony.
60 minutes before. Family photos, close to the ceremony site.
40 minutes before. Portraits of the two of you.
Sunset. Lagoon Lawn or beach, then on to cocktails.
Allow for Moving Around
Ask your coordinator how guests travel between the ceremony and reception, and how long that takes in a boat or cart. Add ten minutes more than you are told. If the ceremony is on the beach and cocktails on the lawn, consider sending the two of you ahead.
Rosewood Mayakoba, Through Our Lens
