There are two Azul properties, the Azul Beach and the Azul Blue - you mention both in your post. The Azul Beach would be the more kid friendly property, but it is located way up north by the airport and if you plan to venture out to do anything - Tulum ruins, Xel Ha, Xcaret, Playa Del Carmen - you reallyyyyyyyy have a ride on your hands. The beach at the Azul Beach isn't the greatest either - none of the beaches on the northern fringes of Riviera Maya are what I'd call fantastic.
Azul Blue is brand new and down by Tulum - it is currently THE most expensive resort in Riviera Maya. No beach to speak of at this resort. There is water entry and it is surrounded by nice beaches, but the on property beach is just a spit of sand. But this resort is TOP of the line as far as amenities.
Since both Azul resorts are expensive, one thing you do have to think about when planning a destination wedding, especially one where you think you may have 100 people is - will all these people be able to afford a top of the line resort? While some people may have an unlimited budget, others might not be able to afford to stay at a resort such as Azul. Not sure how this applies to your family and friends but I have done many destination weddings and I can tell you that the resort choice can be a HUGE issue for guests that would like to attend.
There are quite a few family friendly resorts that are more affordable yet still do beautiful destination weddings. The Iberostar's, the Barcelo, Bahia, Riu's...some are not what I'd call "small" resorts but I have had weddings booked at all of these properties - no complaints at all from any of the brides.
Not saying the Azul is a bad resort - but there are pros and cons regarding the location and the cost of staying there.
