Wedding Officiants in Mexico


Recommended Posts

I know that there have been a few posts on this topic, but what I'm wondering is a little different: are there organizations down in Mexico, like Four Seasons here, that are groups of wedding officiants (non-denominational) that offer their services?

 

I'm suddenly looking back into doing a symbolic ceremony after all and getting married beforehand.

Our WC sent us the script of the minister they would provide and I really don't like it.

I thought it would be nice if we could pick our own officiant.

 

But I can't for the life of me find any companies down there that seem to provide just this service. All of them are either full WC companies or the like.

 

The only name I found from searching BDW is Petra Maurus. She does sound great, but $400 is a little steep. And I like selection :wink:

If these aren't around in Mexico, do you think it'd be possible for me to contact an officiant independently of the WC?

 

I'm frustrated... maybe I should give the WC and her officiant a chance. I'll email her and see if he can change his ceremony to suit us.

I hadn't even thought about finding my own officiant, but I would love to know what you found out or if anyone has suggestions. I think that what the resort charges is high too! I have toyed with the idea of one of my guests doing it, but I'm just not for sure. Anyone get their own?

Yes there are people who officiate. There is a new woman in Cancun named Sharon that I really like, she's American or Canadian. There is a symbolic ceremony from Charlie and Maria. They married my wife and I and are really fantastic. There is also a new group that I just worked with. Eventos de Luz I think was the name. They do a really great Mayan ceremony in mayan with English translation. All three of these can be booked through Maria and/or Erica from weddingsinplaya.com

That would be the easiest since they have all these phone numbers and I don't. Plus they have good taste and use only the best people.

 

Honestly, I've seen some bad officiants here (I make wedding videos). A good officiant makes my job so much easier in the editing room so I remember the good ones.

We are going to get married in the U.S. at the court house and then have what they call a symbolic ceremony. This way your ceremony will be in English and you don't have all the paperwork, fees, blood tests, etc.

Noone will know that we've already officially been married, we just feel like life will be a whole lot easier this way!! That's my plan anyways...

Hi, I am having a "Christian" ceremony and then a "mayan" or "cosmic" ceremony with Maria and Charlie (still not sure which one).

 

For a "sand" ceremony (I'n not interested) my WC suggested Petra and for the "Christian" ceremony I'm having KIKO. She says he is the BEST Minister in the area and i really trust her.

 

Hope this helps!

We are trying to decide if we want to do it legal in Mexico or if we are going to get married here first then do a mayan ceremony down there. It is very difficult to figure out how much it is all going to cost... Can anyone reccomend an officiant who can do a legal ceremony? Somone they have worked with who will travel to Tulum possibly.

Thanks!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
