The Location

AVA RESORT & SPA
Cancun, Mexico

We’re excited to host the Ultimate Destination Wedding Retreat at the AVA Resort Cancun in stunning Cancun, Mexico.

The AVA Resort is a luxurious, family-friendly, all-suites beachfront property designed for travelers who want elevated comfort with a modern touch. It’s the perfect place to recharge, soak in breathtaking ocean views, and indulge in elevated dining at any of the resort’s gourmet restaurants and stylish bars — including a beautiful beachfront pool and lively swim-up bar.

Your ticket to the retreat includes your 4-night all-inclusive stay!

With pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise Caribbean waters, and quick, convenient access from major airports, Cancun is one of the most accessible destinations in the region. Plus, you’re only a short drive from some of Mexico’s most iconic experiences — from cenotes and Mayan ruins to world-class shopping, nightlife, and unforgettable adventure tours.

    You’ll get direct, personalized feedback on your business model, the content you capture during the retreat, your social presence, your lead magnet, consult script, packages, or anything else that’s holding you back from your next level.
  • VIP Guided Shot List Exclusively Designed For The Wedding Setup

    As a VIP, you’ll receive a thoughtfully designed Guided Shot List created by Lou & Tami to help you capture content that feels strategic, polished, and authority-driven. This ensures you don’t just take photos — you create purposeful visuals that tell the story your future couples want to see.
