Why Is Mexico A Great Wedding Destination For UK Couples?

Mexico is a great wedding destination and the perfect place to celebrate your big day. The country has a lot to offer. In this article, we will explore destination weddings in Mexico and places to get married in Mexico.

Destination Weddings in Mexico

Destination weddings in Mexico are becoming more popular these days. The country has a lot to offer such as beautiful coastlines, lush jungles, colourful cities, ancient architecture, and lovely five-star resorts. Also, the food, drinks, and vibrant culture are a draw. There is a lot that goes into planning a destination wedding in Mexico.

Time of year

One of the biggest factors in getting married in Mexico is choosing the right time of year. Because Mexico has a tropical climate, you will want to avoid getting married during hurricane season. The rainy season is usually June to October so it is likely you may get rained out. However, tropical areas usually receive rain from one to two hours at a time. For the best weather, consider having your wedding ceremony in January through early May. Because this is peak season, weddings can be more expensive.

Cost of the wedding

The cost of a wedding will always vary depending on the different vendors you choose and the venue. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £5,000 to £20,000 for a wedding in Mexico. Many people assume a destination wedding in Mexico would be more expensive, but it may actually be cheaper since many of the Mexican resorts are all-inclusive.

Guest list

Having a destination wedding significantly trims down your guest list. This is because typically the couple is not responsible for covering any costs of the guests. Your guests are responsible for booking their own hotel and airfare. However, it may be nice to book a block of rooms so that your guests could get a discounted rate and stay close to all the fun. None of this is mandatory and it is important that you stay within your budget.

Vendors and wedding planners

Hiring wedding suppliers sooner rather than later is better. If you have your eye on a specific vendor, reach out as soon as possible. You could also bring a wedding supplier from home. If you choose to do this, you are responsible for paying for their travel expenses.

A wedding planner is a must when it comes to destination weddings. Wedding planners are extremely familiar with the destination as well as the vendors. Wedding planners will also have tips and tricks about how to save money.

Legal Requirements

Many times couples decide to marry at the courthouse about a week ahead of traveling to Mexico. This ensures that the marriage is legal in their country. However, if you decide to legally marry in Mexico there are a few things to consider. Your marriage will only be legally binding if you have a civil ceremony. You will need to arrive at least three business days before the big day and you must have at least four witnesses. Keep in mind you must have marriage application forms, a tourist/visitor permit, blood test results, valid passports, and birth certificates.

Places to Get Married in Mexico

Mexico is full of culture, colourful traditions, and amazing landscapes. It is the perfect destination for a wedding. Mexico has become a favourite destination for couples worldwide. There are several unique places to get married in Mexico.

Mérida, Yucatán

The Yucatán has the reputation of being the safest Mexican State. Mérida is well known as the “White City.” It is also known for its stunning natural scenery such as Cenotes and underground rivers full of crystalline water. Mérida has the most amazing architecture. Because of its unique surroundings, Mérida is one of the most magical destinations in Mexico.

Tulum, Quintana Roo

Tulum is the perfect place for a private destination wedding. This little paradise is bursting with tranquility and exclusivity. It is surrounded by turquoise waters and is a good place for a beach wedding. It is also the perfect destination to have an eco-friendly wedding or have a small celebration along the seashore.

Oaxaca, Oaxaca

Oaxaca is well known for its colonial-style architecture. It is a destination full of culture and history. The most popular place to hold a wedding ceremony is in a beautiful hotel or hacienda with big gardens. Also, the Cathedral in Oaxaca is another popular spot to say, “I do.” Another benefit of getting married in Oaxaca is the tourist attractions and opportunities for your guests to enjoy.

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato

San Miguel de Allende is full of history. It also has beautiful colours and colonial style architecture. It is one of the best destinations to get married. San Miguel Arcángel parish is one of the most photographed churches in Mexico; its majestic architecture is breathtaking. It is a place to host the most spectacular ceremony!

Valle de Bravo, State of Mexico

Valle de Bravo is only an hour and a half from Mexico City. If you are looking for a destination away from the city this is the perfect place. Valle de Bravo is full of beautiful green landscapes and fresh air. It is a perfect destination to enjoy nature with amazing landscapes such as the Velo de Novia waterfall and beautiful lake where you can kayak and parasail.

Campeche, Campeche

Campeche is home to seventeen archeological sites and baroque colonial architecture. One of the most popular sites is Edzná and Calakmul, the biggest Mayan city that has ever been discovered. Campeche is full of amazing natural landscapes where you can swim and kayak in a completely natural environment.

Sayulita, Nayarit

Sayulita, Nayarit is a popular destination for a more relaxed wedding. It has a plethora of professionals that can help organize the perfect wedding day. They will do all the work while you enjoy the wonderful place. Sayulita has the best boutique hotels which are the perfect option to host a wedding. The city is full of world class restaurants, stores, and resorts. This will give your guests many opportunities to enjoy themselves as well.

Finally, a destination wedding in Mexico could be the perfect option. Choosing the perfect spot is ultimately very personal depending on what you are looking for. If you are planning a destination wedding, traveling to Mexico should definitely be on your list of options to consider.
