UNICO Destination Weddings Guide

Source note: UNICO wedding facts on this page come from AIC Hotel Group / All In Weddings supplier materials in the project reference library (UNICO 20°87° Wedding Sales Guide; All In Weddings Group Benefits Flyer 2026), cross-checked against the live allinweddings.com wedding calculator. Ceremony collection USD pricing is verified for UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya only—confirm current terms in writing before deposit for any property.

Property scope: Published ceremony collection prices ($6,500–$9,500 USD paid tiers and The Classic Experience deposit-equivalent tier) are verified for UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya. UNICO 20°105° Riviera Nayarit is a separate, real property in the same booking system with its own group-benefit calculation—do not assume identical collection pricing there without written confirmation.

UNICO 20°87° Riviera Maya is BUILD READY with verified pricing, cross-checked across two independent sources. Riviera Nayarit remains a confirm-in-writing property.

Not yet confirmed: Riviera Nayarit's own ceremony collection names and USD prices. Do not assume they match the $6,500–$9,500 Riviera Maya range without a written property-specific quote.

If Riviera Nayarit's Pacific coast location fits your guest list better than Riviera Maya's Caribbean coast, ask Neal to request current collection pricing directly from the supplier.
