No. Bring your own photographer, DJ, planner, baker or officiant at no extra charge. Resorts commonly charge USD 500–1,000 per outside vendor; we charge zero.
30% of the estimated total locks your date. It is non-refundable but fully transferable to another date within eighteen months if you postpone, for any reason. The balance is due 30 days before the wedding.
Twelve to eighteen months for high season, November through April. Because we host one wedding per day, popular Saturdays go first. Off-season dates, June through September, are often available six to nine months out.
Amplified music until 2am at Punta Venado and Pa’amul, until 1am in Tulum because of local rules. After that we can arrange an acoustic or headphone after-party on site, or shuttles back to town.
A civil ceremony performed by a Quintana Roo judge is legally valid and recognised internationally once apostilled. It needs blood tests, four witnesses and passport copies, all of which we arrange for you.
Yes, gladly. Same-sex marriage is legal throughout Mexico including Quintana Roo, so both civil and symbolic ceremonies are available on exactly the same terms.
Every venue has a covered plan B that you see and approve before you book, never a surprise on the day. Rain here is usually a short afternoon burst; your coordinator makes the call two hours ahead and moves the setup at no cost.
Our coves are naturally protected and we clean the ceremony area every morning. Season peaks May through August and we track the daily reports with you.
Cancun International is 45–60 minutes away with direct flights from 100+ cities. Guests book their own lodging at their own budget in Playa del Carmen or Tulum, and we arrange group shuttles both ways.
From 2 to 220 guests. There is no minimum spend, though weddings under fifteen guests are quoted as an intimate package. Above 160 we recommend the Punta Venado beach site for space.
Yes, and most couples do: ceremony on the beach or at the cenote, cocktails in the garden, dinner and dancing under the palapa. The venue is exclusively yours for the day, so moving between areas costs nothing.
Yes, and there is no corkage fee. Most couples use our open bar because importing spirits is rarely cheaper, but if you want your family’s mezcal or a specific champagne, bring it.
Yes. Every menu is built from scratch around the local market and the day’s boat catch, so dietary needs are designed in rather than substituted at the last minute.
Site visits are free, in person or as a live video walkthrough. Menu tastings run on Thursdays for booked couples and are included for two people.
One named coordinator from your first email to your last dance, with their direct mobile number. They run the day in person. No handoffs to an events desk, no shared inbox.
