About Astrid & Nathan

I (Astrid) had just moved back to Memphis from Orlando. I was going out with the girls to the Memphis in May BBQ festival and end up meeting my friend Morgan’s co-worker, Daniel. Daniel and Nathan were soon to be roommates, and both had the same idea of enjoying BBQ fest at the tent we were at. I paid absolutely no mind to Nathan. Nathan and I said our hellos but hardly spoke again.  

Fast forward four months. The same two friends, Morgan, and Daniel, suggest a big friend’s trip to New Orleans to watch the Memphis Tigers play Tulane. I did not have intentions of going on this trip, but my initial plans fell through. They had rented this huge Airbnb, so we all could stay together. When we arrived, I knocked on the door, and low and behold Nathan opens the door. I, again, paid him no mind-said 'hey' and walked right past him as he helped get our bags out of the car. 
 
It wasn’t until one afternoon during the trip, that a small group of us were hanging out on Bourbon street. Nathan had just finished a game of pool and walked over to the table that my friend Cassi and I were at and offered to buy us a round of drinks. Cassi and Nathan had exchanged numbers so we could meet up later that evening since each group had different dinner plans. Later that night, we met up, where we hit it off, as we hung out and talked all night long. 

At that time, Nathan was traveling a lot for work, it took three weeks before we even went on our first date! We met up at South of Beale, and four hours of pure conversation later- we closed the restaurant down. Safe to say we hit it off! 
 
 A home, two dogs … and many many dogs fosters later- Nathan decided to pop the big question on our third-year anniversary.  Nathan and I are so very excited to have our family and friends witness the celebration and beginning of the next chapter in our relationship!

The Big Day!

Astrid & Nathan are very much looking forward to spending time with you in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Flight info

At Bliss Honeymoons we have access to both the same published fares that you see online, as well as contracted rates.

Unless you have points that allow you to fly for free, there is really no benefit to booking your own airfare.

If you book your air independently, your flights will not be covered under the cancel for any reason protection. So you would have to purchase a second policy to cover your air. If you really want to book your own flights, you are free to do so. But we do not mark up the cost of the flights and are able to save you a little bit of money by including it in the package.

If you wish to fly with Southwest or Spirit you must book directly through the airline. 

Parties booking their flights independently are responsible for ensuring their flights match their hotel check-in and check-out dates. In order to ensure your transfers, please click here to send your flight confirmation to us no less than 45 days before departure here. 

Baggage Fees:  Baggage fees are not included and must be paid directly to the airline. Please refer to the airline’s website for charges. If you have a TSA precheck number or frequent flyer number, you will add it to your reservation directly through the airline’s website. 

Please note! It’s not uncommon for your first and middle name to appear as one long name on the airline’s website. If this happens, don’t panic! Just check in as you normally would.

Have more flight questions? Check out our FAQs here. 

Airport Transfers

Round trip transportation from the airport is included in the package. Once you have cleared customs and collected your bags, please proceed outside to the shuttle area. Please do not stop inside the terminal and accept assistance from another party. The parties inside the airport are timeshare salespeople.

Your transfers are shared, non-stop transfers. If you prefer private transfers, they are available for $160.00, round trip.

Once you have exited the terminal look for the Lomas Rep. They will be wearing a blue shirt, white pants, and holding a sign for Lomas.

Please note: Car seats are required just as they are at home. They are $30.00 round trip. Please let us know when you make your reservation if you need a car seat.

Travel Insurance and cancellation policy

If you’re attending a destination wedding, chances are you’re booking several months in advance. While we’re sure you have every intention of making the trip, life can be unpredictable. The months between the deposit and your anticipated date of travel could bring a job change, illness, or other circumstances that could prevent you from traveling. Purchasing travel insurance is a smart investment that will protect you from financial loss.  

And because most medical insurance policies do not offer coverage outside the United States, we do not recommend traveling without insurance. Our trip insurance covers trip delay, trip cancellation, some medical coverage, lost luggage, and more. Our insurance allows you to cancel for any covered reason and receive a full refund, even on non-refundable published airfare. Uncovered reasons are covered up to 75%. Review the policy for more details here. 

 

If you book your air independently, we do offer a policy that will cover both your land and air. Please ask us for more info.

 

Insurance is just $99.00 per person and $59.00 per person for children under 12.

 

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY*

The cost of the trip is not refundable. We urge you to purchase trip insurance to protect you from a financial loss.

 

Please note! Once final payment has been made, there are no refunds issued for a reduction in the number of nights, room category, or the number of people in your party. If you have trip insurance, we can file a claim for any reductions. This may incur a change fee.

 

Penalties apply to all bookings. However, if you have travel insurance you can recoup these losses by filing a claim with the travel insurance.

 

Please note! The cost of insurance is not refundable for any reason.

COVID FAQ

We understand that there’s a lot of uncertainty about travel right now. 

Please note that these are the policies that are in place as of May 2, 2022. These rules could change between now and your departure date. Any updates will be posted here. 

 

Q. Is a COVID test required to enter Mexico?

A. At this time, there is no test required. You do not have to take a COVID test or complete a health form to enter Mexico. 

 

Q. Am I required to take a test to return to the United States? 

A. Effective January June 12, 2022, there is no longer a requirement to test before returning to the United States. 

 

Q. What happens if there is a travel ban?

A. In the event of a travel ban, we would move the date of the wedding. We will make every effort to ensure that everyone in the group is able to keep the same room and number of nights at the current group rate. 

 

Q. Does the travel insurance cover us if we decide to cancel due to fear of COVID?

A. Our travel insurance is a ” cancel for any reason” policy. Covered reasons are covered at 100%. Uncovered reasons are covered at 75%. Canceling due to fear of COVID is no different than canceling for fear of spiders, and falls under the provision of the uncovered reasons. There is a link to the policy in the insurance section of the wedding site. Please review the policy for covered and uncovered reasons.

 

Q. If there is a travel ban, aren’t the hotels and airlines required to give us a full refund?

No, they are not required to offer a refund for anything that falls under force majeure such as government shutdowns, war, pandemics, or acts of God. We strongly encourage you to purchase trip insurance to protect yourself from a financial loss.
