A Wedding Day at unico 2087 resort Filled with Love, Joy, and Unforgettable Memories
Some weddings just feel like pure happiness from beginning to end—and Arianna and Christopher’s wedding at UNICO 20°87° Resort Riviera Maya Mexico was exactly that.
From the very start of the day, the atmosphere was light, warm, and joyful. Arianna got ready surrounded by her parents, Frankie and Amy, in a sunlit suite with those quiet but meaningful pre-ceremony moments—robe shots, accessories, the final reveal with her dad at 4:40 pm (a moment that had everyone in tears). Meanwhile, Christopher shared laughs with his parents, Frank and Paige, before stepping into his tan suit, perfectly complementing the soft blue dresses of the bridal party.
 
 
The ceremony took place at UNICO’s iconic gazebo overlooking the turquoise waters of Akumal. Officiated by Christopher’s brother-in-law, it was short, intimate, and full of heartfelt words. Guests laughed, cried, and celebrated as the couple said their vows against the backdrop of the Caribbean sunset.
One of the highlights of the day was the drone group photo right after the ceremony—a fun and unforgettable way to capture the joy of nearly 90 guests celebrating together. After that came the family portraits, bridal party photos, and a series of stunning couple portraits along the beach and around the lush corners of the resort, just as the sun dipped below the horizon at 7:33 pm.
 
The evening continued on the Green Terrace, where Arianna and Christopher joined cocktail hour surrounded by candid laughter and heartfelt conversations. By the time the reception began, the energy was electric. The couple’s first dance, Arianna’s dance with her grandmother, and the speeches during the welcome party two days earlier had already set the tone: this was not just a wedding, it was a true celebration of love and family.
And then came the party. With DJ Mills James keeping the dance floor alive and a live violinist from Arteum adding magical touches, the night turned into an epic celebration.
By 11 pm, when our coverage ended, the dance floor was still buzzing with joy, hugs, and laughter—the perfect ending to a day filled with genuine emotions and vibrant energy.
UNICO 2087 delivered everything we love about a wedding in Riviera Maya weddings: elegance, exceptional service, and that feeling of being surrounded by beauty and joy in every direction. Arianna and Christopher couldn’t have chosen a better place to start their forever.
 
2 days before: the welcome dinner.

It was the perfect opportunity to reconnect, share stories, and set the tone for the celebrations to come. With laughter, delicious food, and heartfelt speeches, the night felt like the beginning of something truly special—a multi-day wedding celebration in Riviera Maya that nobody would forget.
