Planning a wedding in Mexico! Any advice?

[Carley]

Hello! I am trying to plan a wedding in Mexico! I have stayed at Cancun Palace (now hard rock Cancun) and have visited beach palace and moon palace. I am contemplating where to have my wedding because I love the beaches at Cancun, the blue water, but love the gazebo at moon. Any advice for where I may be able to get both? Also, any recommendations for photographers? I would love to see sample pictures! Lastly, did you have a symbolic or civil ceremony? I am very concerned with having to have my blood drawn in another country. When you have a civil ceremony, is it performed only in spanish? Sorry for all the questions, but I look forward to all responses

You came to the right place! You'll find lots of information here; be sure to look through the Mexico sub-forums. 

 

Best of luck to you and I hope you find the perfect resort for your wedding.

Hi Carley,

 

Have a look at Azul Sensatori (they have a SkyDeck Ceremony Location that is just to die for!) and another great ceremony location is at the Grand Sunset Princess! There are a lot of pros and cons to a Civil Ceremony as there are quite a few costs associated (and yes blood work!) with this, BUT you do get to be officially married then and there. Civil ceremonies will be preformed in Spanish, with generally your wedding coordinator preforming the translation into English. At Azul, they actually do your blood work right at the hotel - so very very safe and comfortable for you

 

We highly recommend Claudia Rodriguez or Lori at Sweetfire Photography - both are fantastic and such a pleasure to work with!!

 
Happy Planning!

Thank you for the information! I will certainly look into that!
