You are welcome to make additional payments at any time. You will receive a monthly automated payment reminder, which you can choose to make a payment or ignore.

• Since all-inclusive resorts are pre-paid AND non-refundable, travel insurance is encouraged to protect your investment.

• The cost of insurance is based on the cost of your room plus your age. We will provide you with a quote when you receive your initial invoice before you submit your deposit.

Yes, all international travelers are required to have a passport, including infants and children. To learn more about the application process, please visit the U.S. Department of State website.

IMPORTANT! If you do not have a passport or need to renew your passport, please do so right away. The passport offices are taking 4-6 weeks for expedited and 7-10 weeks for standard service.

As of September 2024 - for routine passport renewal, you can now do this online through the US Department of State! Online renewals are taking 6-8 weeks for turnaround and expedited service is not offered at this time.

Britney & Shaji have paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for your group. They have a group contract that allows them to offer additional benefits for their guests. The couple kindly asks that you book your hotel within our designated group contract here at Bridie Travel.

There are several reasons why you should honor the couple’s wishes and book the hotel portion with the group:
• The couple has worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group. This allows the couple to offer some amazing and fun surprises for all of you.
• These events and special amenities are based on a group minimum and the couple is required to meet that minimum number of rooms. Rooms booked outside the group contract do not count toward this minimum.
• Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment.
• Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you’re likely getting a room that couldn’t be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in an undesirable location away from everyone else.
• Groups are given priority in terms of an oversold situation. If the hotel over sells, your group is protected but your reservation is not. You could be walked to another location.

Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately:
• Will not get the group rates
• Will not be not be protected by the cancellation policies we’ve negotiated.
• Will have to pay upfront vs. over time.
• Will not receive any pre-departure, trip support or post-trip support from me.
• Cannot have Bridie Travel assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can assist in the event of an emergency.
• Are not “officially” recognized by the hotel as being part of our event. The hotel group contract and wedding event pricing are planned in tandem.
• Guests staying off property will be charged a day pass to attend the wedding events. The resort has the right to stop selling day passes at any time.

• Yes, you are required to book your own flights into Cancun International Airport (CUN). If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me to book airfare to Cancun, Mexico. The airport code is CUN.
• It is not advised to fly to Cozumel (CZN) or Tulum (TQO) Airports as they are much further away and there will be an additional cost for the transfer.
• We recommend you purchase your flights as soon as possible. You can book via your favorite airline and consider using miles or credit card points, if you have them.
• Due to contract deadlines, we recommend booking your hotel room as early as possible and adding air when you’re ready.
• Please send your flight information in no later than Wednesday, October 1, 2025. This is how I schedule your ground transportation in Cancun.

There are two ways to submit your flight information:
1. Enter your flight information via the online form that will be emailed out closer to your departure date.
OR
2. Forward a screenshot of your arrival and departure fights showing your airline, flight number, arrival/departure dates and times, as well as your confirmation number from the airline to Cara. Flight schedules can be forwarded at any time.

• All quotes start with the reservation form. Fill out the reservation form and we will get back to you with a quote.
• In your reservation form, make sure to include the ROOM TYPE you want to book.

• Please coordinate with your roommate and designate ONE person to fill out the reservation form.
• Reservation forms should be one per ROOM, not one per person.
• If you and your roommate live at different addresses, please make sure to include the second passenger’s contact info. This can go in the notes field.
• If you would like separate invoices for each roommate, please include this in the comments section of your reservation form.
• When I get your form, I will email both of you and explain next steps.

Should a weather event impact a resort immediately preceding your trip, Bridie Travel would receive an inclement weather statement from the resort with details and options for impacted guests. If you are concerned about inclement weather impacting your trip please consider adding trip protection to your package.

Travel insurance is HIGHLY recommended and protects you if you need to cancel your trip. Since all-inclusives are pre-paid, insurance protects your investment if you need to change your plans. Without travel insurance, there are no refunds for any reason.

Travel insurance includes more than just cancellation coverage… it includes post-departure coverage and medical coverage as well!

Did you know that most USA health insurances do NOT work in Mexico? If you need to see a doctor for an illness or a small mishap, you will be charged in cash upfront before a doctor will treat you. Insurance helps reimburse you for these unexpected costs.

Travel insurance is based on the cost of your room, your age, and the state in which you reside. At time of submitting your reservation request, Bridie Travel will provide you with a quote for a comprehensive travel insurance plan.

Your insurance quote will contain two options:
1. The Worldwide Trip Protector Platinum plan from Travel Insured (or similar) is a traditional policy which allows you to cancel for a covered reason (ie sickness, illness, death in family, etc). There are over 30 reasons for trip interruption/cancellation.

2. You can add a 'Cancel For Any Reason' election onto you Worldwide Trip Protector Platinum plan. This benefit gives you extra flexibility of knowing you can cancel your trip for almost any unforeseen reason that the Worldwide Trip Protector plan does not already cover at 100% and receive 75% of your non-refundable trip costs back. It includes benefits like trip cancellation protection, primary emergency medical benefits, 24-hour travel assistance, and more. This insurance must be added at the time of DEPOSIT.

If these plans are not eligible for sale in the state in which you reside, a similar quote & vendor will be offered.

Yes! You absolutely can wear Indian clothes for our wedding events, and we encourage it. If you’re interested in wearing Indian wear for our events, we created a guide (White Girl's Guide to Desi Wedding Wear) for non-Indian friends to help with selecting Indian styles. This guide also includes outfit suggestions for Western styles. 

The minimum number of outfits you will need is two: one for the sangeet and one for the baraat/ceremony/reception. If you want to wear something different for the baraat/ceremony and the reception, then you will need three outfits. The bride and groom will be donning their party clothes for the reception to prepare for dancing the night away. You have the option to wear something more casual (and breezy) for the ceremony and change into something more festive for the evening.

We want our guests to be comfortable and wear what makes you feel best. Jeans, shorts, cargo pants, and camo print are discouraged for our sangeet and wedding day events.

Check out the FAQ section of our dress guide for suggestions on where and how to source Indian styles.

IMPORTANT TO DO!
Submit your flight info to Bridie Travel no later than Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

After you book your flight you’ll need to submit your flight itinerary to us. We need this information to pass along to the transportation company to arrange your Cancun International Airport (CUN) arrival and departure transfers, in addition to keeping us notified of your arrival and departure for planning wedding events.

You can submit your flights one of two ways:
1. Enter your flight information via the online form that will be emailed out closer to your departure date.
OR
2. Forward a screenshot of your arrival and departure fights showing your airline, flight number, arrival/departure dates and times, as well as your confirmation number from the airline to Cara. Flight schedules can be forwarded at any time.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect you before, during and after you travel. The travel insurance has coverage for medical, inclement weather, flight delays/cancellations/missed connections, baggage delays/cancellations, etc.

Bridie Travel uses Travel Insured. The Worldwide Trip Protector with Cancel For Any Reason gives you the extra flexibility of knowing you can cancel your trip for almost any unforeseen reason that the Worldwide Trip Protector plan does not already cover at 100% and receive 75% of your non-refundable trip cost back. It includes benefits like trip cancellation protection, primary emergency medical benefits, 24-hour travel assistance, and more. This plan also has smart benefits that can proactively pay your clients and simplify the claims process with no receipts required.

IMPORTANT: ‘Cancel For Any Reason’ MUST be purchased at the time of booking. You cannot add ‘Cancel For Any Reason’ after your initial deposit date. You can purchase regular travel insurance though after the deposit date.

The cost of the travel insurance is based on the total cost of your trip + your age (typically 6%-10% of the total cost of the trip). We will provide individual quotes with your invoice so you can determine if you want to add it or not. You will be required to accept or decline insurance coverage when you make your deposit.

For more information on Trip Protection please visit our website below.

Rooms are reserved at a discounted rate, on a first-come, first served basis. Bridie Travel will do their best to honor the discounted rate outside the 50 rooms, however, the early-booking discount is not guaranteed. The sooner you reserve with your deposit, the better. The discounted rate is an ALL-INCLUSIVE room rate and includes private roundtrip airport transfers. Bridie Travel is confident in their pricing, but if you were to find a cheaper “deal” outside of Bridie Travel, please allow them an opportunity to price match. We like to do our best to keep family and friends consolidated at the resort for accountability. To reserve your room and apply your deposit, please Click the "Book My Room" Link Below! You will receive a reservation confirmation and invoice within 2-3 business days.
