Danielle and Osaheni started out their wedding planning like most couples, wondering what the best options are to afford hosting such a large group of people. Being based in New York and with a large family living abroad, they quickly realized that staying in the US was not an option.

Moreover, Dani's own passion for travelling and wanting to keep things budget friendly made them lean towards a destination wedding. After reviewing several different resorts they ultimately landed on Moon Palace The Grand Cancun.

This episode may be catered to a unique audience for a few reasons:

1. Any destination wedding couple that's interested in this resort. There's a ton of information on the specific experience, resort amenities, and overall review from Danielle.
2. Danielle and Osaheni had 187 wedding guests, so if you're looking at hosting a large group, this episode has lots of advice on how to manage it all.
3. Osaheni is Nigerian, so they wanted to honor tradition and have not only a Nigerian ceremony, but a white ceremony as well. Any listeners who are either Nigerian or plan on having multiple wedding ceremonies at an all-inclusive resort will find a lot of guidance in this episode on how to navigate it all.

Aubrey and Doug started out their wedding planning under the assumption that they’d keep it local in the Tampa Bay area. It wasn’t long before they realized the cost of catering, alcohol, a live band and other typical wedding costs just wasn’t worth spending tens of thousands of dollars on for what they were getting.

From there, one of Aubrey’s friends was telling her how she had an amazing time attending a destination wedding at Dreams Playa Mujeres. At that point it felt like the stars aligned for Aubrey. After doing a ton of research on Secrets Playa Mujeres, the adult-only neighboring property, they made the decision to officially have a destination wedding. 

Let’s dive into more about this resort and Aubrey’s experience planning her beautiful destination wedding at Secrets Playa Mujeres.
