Catholic ceremony in Riviera Maya...

[smckinney22]

Have you looked into The Royal in Cancun? When I saw you wanted a Catholic Wedding it immediately came to mind. The location is in the “Our Lady of Guadalupe”, Catholic Oceanfront Chapel (surrounded by light and glass with marble floors). Go to the link below and checkout the picture, it's at the end of the 2nd row of pics. Absolutely breathtaking view.

I just have to chime in! The church at the Royal is amazingly beautiful! I'm looking at getting married there in July of 2010. Everyone I show the pictures can't believe there is a glass church on the water.

 

Also, the wedding packages as far as ceremony and reception are concerned are VERY reasonable as far as cost it concerned.

Hi all. I am also planning a Catholic ceremony in Riviera Maya or Cancun at an all inclusive in Sept/Oct of 2010 that is not an adults-only resort. The Xcaret does look beautiful, but might not work for me since I am planning a Saturday wedding and for Fri, Sat, Sun they require to also have the reception there and they require a $5,000 deposit, which seems hefty to me....Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey Karla. I'm having the same issue My wedding is on a Saturday and on top of that the Xcaret Church is too far from our resort. Does anyone know of a different church near Puerto Morelos?

The Barcelo Maya Palace has a Church right on the resort- it's a Catholic church & actually has mass on Sat & Sun. It's gorgeous. I was there last week.

Just got back from my site visit and while I was there I visited the church in Puerto Morelos. Its called Iglesia de San Jose (San Jose Church). It is a small authentic church in the town square across from the ocean. The view to the ocean is blocked by trees, but you can hear the waves and smell the ocean I thought it was absolutely beautiful and the Padre Mario couldn't have been nicer.

 

So now I can put my mind at ease and concentrate on the rest of the planning.

 

Btw... they are in process of building another church in Puerto Morelos, which will be called Iglesia de la Virgen de Guadalupe (should be done by January)... also looks very nice
