From boutiquey to all-inclusive, we’ve highlighted five properties that know how to throw a fab wedding, intimate or otherwise.

A beachside romantic dinner for two or strolling hand-in-hand through the cobblestone streets of a quaint colonial town—Mexico was fashioned just for newlyweds.

There are so many options for just-perfect destination weddings in the Caribbean and Mexico, it’s sometimes hard to choose exactly which well-known hotel brand to say “I do” to. But we’ve done a bit of the legwork for you and your soon-to-be-wed clients by highlighting the offerings at key destination wedding powerhouses, which, of course, have the area’s top wedding coordinators and event planners on hand to help with all the details, no matter how big or small. Some offer travel agent commission for the weddings, some offer commission only on the rooms, but with the popularity of destination weddings skyrocketing, and the size of the wedding parties only getting bigger—and with many in the party adding extra nights to make it a complete vacation—even getting those guestroom bookings are a dream come true to your bottom line.

Although each unique, these five distinct resorts do have three things in common: they’re easy for the guests to reach, they “heart” romance, and they host weddings that delight couples, their families, and friends.
