Tristen and Andrew are finally getting married and it is time to celebrate with our family and friends.  We want to invite you to a three day celebration at St. Regis Kanai Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico, from December 5 to 8, 2024. We hope all of our guests can join us for the three days, so rest up ahead of time!

Schedule

RESORT DAY & EXTENDED BAR

We'll be spending the day relaxing by the pool and beach at the resort. No planned event, just enjoying the resort's amenities. St. Regis plans to have 3 restaurants open for our guests to enjoy dinner and will enable bookings shortly.
In the evening, we'll extend the bar at the St. Regis Bar until 2 AM for those who want to hang out.

Welcome Beach Party

6:00 pm

Join us for a Welcome Party at St. Regis Beach on Friday, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Attire: All white beach attire.
See FAQ for more details.

Open bar and buffet provided.
A live band will also be performing. 

Ceremony

Join us for the marriage celebration of Andrew and Tristen on the Grand Lawn, Saturday. 
Ceremony times will be announced later.
Attire: Beach Semi-Formal or Cocktail. Vibrant attire is encouraged.
See FAQ for more details. 

Cocktail Hour

Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres provided at La Ceiba immediately following the ceremony.

Reception

Registry

We kindly request no gifts. Having you with us is the greatest gift. 
Instead, we’d love for you to consider supporting Ronald McDonald House, where Tristen started volunteering this year. They provide essential support to families with seriously ill children. Donations to this wonderful cause would mean a lot to us.

FAQ

Accommodation Information:

Are there alternative accommodation options available besides the St. Regis Kanai?

Our goal is to encourage as many guests as possible to stay at St. Regis Kanai because we want our wedding guests to enjoy three days together. The rates are significantly discounted from normal rates to help enable this. 
That said, we understand some guests may prefer alternative accommodations. It is important to point out that resorts in Mexico typically charge a 15% service charge on the listed price. This charge will be waived at St. Regis.
Nearby options include:
  • The Edition Kanai
    • This hotel is next door to St. Regis. We have negotiated a slightly less expensive rate ($500 at Edition compared to $525 at St. Regis) for stardard rooms here. If you are interested in this, please contact Andrew or Tristen to help coordinate. 
    • Website: The Edition Kanai


We have not personally visited these resorts yet but have heard good feedback about them. There are many other resorts within a 15-20min drive as well. 

Is there a discounted room block available for wedding guests?

Yes, our room block is nearly 50% discounted for wedding guests at the St. Regis Kanai. We reserved all of the Standard Rooms at the hotel for our wedding party but availability is limited. We have also negotiated significantly discounted rates for each upgrade room category for guests who wish to upgrade to a room with a plunge pool, hot tub or a party balcony. 
How many guests can be in a room?

Most rooms are only available for two guests but there are two options for a room with two queen beds. These rooms can host up to 4 guests in a room. 

Transportation:

What are the best ways to travel to the destination?

The nearest airport is Cancun International Airport. The St. Regis Kanai is approximately a 45-minute drive from the airport. Guests can choose to rent a car, take a taxi, or use a ride-sharing service like Uber. Additionally, if guests prefer to have the hotel arrange transportation, they can make arrangements by contacting the front desk or reservations team.

Dress Code

What is the dress code for the wedding events?

The Friday Welcome Party is on the beach so shorts, sandals and short-sleeve button down shirts are fine. Ladies can wear sundresses and dressed up beach attire. 
We encourage guests to wear white. 
Saturday is the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We encourage guys to wear button down shirts and summer/linen pants. Jackets are not required, but never hurts to look sharp! 
For the ladies, attire is summer cocktail dresses. The reception is nearby the hotel rooms if you need a change of shoes as well. 

While your presence is what we truly cherish, you can click on the mood boards below for outfit ideas.

Can guests bring a plus one?

Plus ones are not automatically included in the invitation unless specifically addressed. If a guest feels they would like to bring a plus one, they are welcome to reach out to Tristen or Andrew directly to inquire.

Are children allowed to attend the wedding events?

We're not encouraging children to attend the wedding events, including the welcome party, unless specifically invited by us. If guests choose to bring their kids to Mexico, that decision is entirely up to them and we can help with babysitters as the date approaches. If you have any questions or concerns regarding children attending, please feel free to reach out to Tristen or Andrew directly.
