Hyatt Inclusive Collection planning guide
Hyatt Inclusive Collection publishes one of the few complete South Asian wedding packages in the all-inclusive world: the Dulha & Dulhan package starting at $12,295 for up to 79 guests, covering a five-event program from welcome cocktail through Indian wedding-reception buffet with a decorated Mandap ceremony. It applies at named participating resorts in Mexico and Punta Cana, requires 25 rooms for three nights or 75 cumulative room nights, and additional guests, upgrades, and fees vary by resort. CeremonyVerse helps U.S. and Canadian families verify what the package covers — and what it does not — before signing.

Published package
The Dulha & Dulhan South Asian Wedding Package starts at $12,295 inclusive of up to 79 guests, with taxes and gratuities included for Romance packages. It is a starting price: additional guests, customizations, and some fees vary by resort and require a current written proposal.
Five-event program
The published program covers a welcome cocktail party with private bar, Sangeet or Mehndi appetizers and buffet, ceremony beverages, and an Indian wedding-reception buffet with dessert, cake, and private bar — plus the Mandap ceremony setup.
Room requirement
The package requires at least 25 rooms for three nights, or 75 cumulative room nights. For families with 100+ guests, the room-block terms, comp structure, and attrition clause become the highest-stakes part of the contract.
Booking window
The published offer says book by December 20, 2027, with wedding date and venue remaining subject to resort confirmation. Verify the current offer terms before relying on them.

Multi-day event reality
A South Asian package name is only a starting point. Map every celebration to an exact space, operating rule, cost, owner, and backup.
| Event | Confirm in writing | Common planning risk |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome cocktail party | The package's welcome cocktail with private bar — guest count, duration, venue, food stations, and how it extends into a full Mehndi or welcome dinner if the family wants more. | Assuming the package cocktail equals a full welcome event with seating, entertainment, and dinner service. |
| Sangeet or Mehndi | The package's Sangeet or Mehndi appetizers and buffet — dance-floor footprint, stage, audio, lighting, rigging, rehearsal time, curfew, and indoor capacity. | A package buffet fitting 79 guests while the family's Sangeet needs production, space, and hours the package does not include. |
| Haldi or Pithi | A space that tolerates color and water, cleanup fees, guest access, and protection for resort furnishings — usually outside the published package. | Cleanup and damage terms appearing as unexpected charges after the event instead of agreed pricing before it. |
| Wedding ceremony with Mandap | The package's decorated Mandap, ceremony seating, beverage station, sound system, and shoe-check station for beach ceremonies — plus fire or flameless Havan rules at the chosen resort. | The package Mandap design differing from the family's ceremonial requirements without a written customization plan. |
| Reception | The package's Indian wedding-reception buffet, dessert, cake, and private bar — seated capacity, stage and dance-floor size, production, curfew, and overtime rates. | Comparing the package buffet without the added hours, production, and per-person costs a full Indian reception needs. |
| Baraat | Procession route at the chosen property, vehicle or horse options and welfare rules, permits, music, and associated fees — usually outside the published package. | A signature celebration being reduced to a parking-lot lap because the route was never confirmed in writing. |

Read the official resort sourceEvaluation list—not endorsements
The package applies at named participating resorts — these are examples families may ask CeremonyVerse to evaluate on the same written questions. Inclusion does not mean affiliation, preferred status, guaranteed availability, or a recommendation, and participation can change. Current resort proposals and contracts control.
Open Resort Comparison CalculatorArrival depends entirely on the chosen participating property: Cancún International Airport (CUN) serves the Cancún and Riviera Maya resorts, while Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) serves the Dominican properties. Build a guest manifest by arrival time, terminal, luggage needs, mobility needs, child-seat needs, and transfer provider — not just a total guest count. Confirm transfer time and group-arrival coordination in writing for the actual arrival window.
The Dulha & Dulhan package is built around South Asian programming: Sangeet or Mehndi appetizers and buffet, and an Indian wedding-reception buffet with dessert, cake, and private bar. Advertised inclusions are still a starting point: confirm the menu format per event, the tasting process, per-person pricing beyond 79 guests, service charges, and how Jain, vegetarian, and regional Gujarati preferences are handled for the family's actual guest list.
Outdoor beauty is not a substitute for a contracted indoor backup. Confirm, for each outdoor event, the guaranteed backup space, the decision deadline for moving, who executes and pays for the move, and how the change affects catering, production, and the ceremony schedule. Ask what happens when more than one wedding on the property needs its backup at the same time.
Before a deposit
Use the same questions for every proposal. A missing answer is a decision item—not permission to assume the most favorable outcome.
One coordinated client experience
CeremonyVerse works as the family-facing planning layer for U.S. and Canadian families: comparing the written proposal against the package inclusions and the family's event plan, separating confirmed facts from open questions, coordinating the Mexico City-based destination team for the agreed local and on-site scope, and keeping family approvals, guest information, and decisions connected through one named contact. Rooms, flights, transfers, and resort contracts remain with the resort and named licensed providers under their own terms.
