Destination Wedding Ceremonies in Mexico
Discover all the types of ceremonies we offer for your dream wedding on the Riviera Maya.
An Unforgettable Wedding in Mexico
Are you planning your marriage in Mexico and looking for the perfect destination wedding ceremony to make your big day special? Then you’ve come to the right place! Mexico offers a variety of ceremonies that will make your wedding an unforgettable experience. Here we present the most beautiful wedding ceremonies in Mexico.

Civil Ceremony – Legal Wedding with Vows, Letter & Seal
Tying the knot for life? Not just symbolically, but legally? Then a civil ceremony is for you. Whether you want to get married on the beach or in a registry office, on a small or large scale. The ceremony will be performed in English or Spanish, with German translation upon request.

The civil ceremony lasts about 20 minutes, after which you can celebrate as you wish. The marriage license in Mexico is internationally valid, so you can have your marriage legally recognized in your own country. Please contact us here to learn more about the exact requirements and documents needed.
Catholic Wedding Ceremony
Are you already married in a civil ceremony and want to add the emotional icing on the cake with a church ceremony? No problem – Catholic weddings are possible in some churches on the Riviera Maya. The ceremony lasts about 30 minutes and is conducted in English or Spanish by a priest. We are happy to provide a German translation upon request. We even have a German priest here.
In order to prepare everything according to your wishes, we should meet in person at least three days before the big day. We will also need the appropriate documents. Catholic weddings are officially recognized in other countries if certain requirements are met.
Upon request, we can also arrange weddings according to the customs of other religions.

Intimate Ceremony, Elopement
If you don’t want a church or civil ceremony, an intimate ceremony is a great option for you. It is often requested after a civil ceremony or simply as an elopement ceremony for two. It is independent of religious status and can be performed by same-sex partners. The intimate ceremony can be tailored to your personal wishes, but is not legally recognized.
The following video of an intimate destination wedding in Xpu-Ha gives an idea of what such a ceremony can be like.
The intimate ceremony on the beach is particularly popular, for which we offer numerous wedding venues in the most beautiful locations in Mexico. If you don’t want a beach wedding, you can also choose from unusual venues such as private villas, exclusive hotels, stalactite caves, cenotes or private chapels.
The intimate wedding ceremony is usually performed by a professional officiant. However, the wedding speech can also be given by an independent theologian or a person close to you. We are happy to assist you with every detail of organizing your wedding ceremony and celebration to make it the most beautiful day of your life.
Mayan Ceremony – Magical and Mystical
A Mayan ceremony is probably the most magical way to promise eternal love. This ancient ritual celebrates marriage as a cosmic consecration. Mexico’s beautiful Riviera Maya offers the perfect setting: a mystical jungle, the crystal clear waters of millions of years old cenotes, or a dreamy Caribbean beach. You decide where you want to have this special and spiritual experience.
The Mayan ceremony is led by a shaman. He is still considered the guardian of ancient knowledge, a spiritual guide and traditional healer in the Mayan culture. He begins by ritually cleansing the chosen dream site. To do this, he uses copal (a tree resin that has been used in rituals for centuries). He then plays the sound of the caracol (a sea snail) and asks for permission to make the connection in all four directions. A magical and very spiritual moment with goose bumps guaranteed.

The shaman then blesses your union in front of the four elements (fire, water, earth, air) that play a central role in Mayan culture. He asks the energy of the universe to give you a covenant of eternal energy and love. A very emotional ceremony that will stay in your hearts forever. This unforgettable ritual is performed in English or Spanish and lasts 45 minutes.
Symbolic Wedding – The Moving Renewal of Vows
Maybe you’ve been married for a long time and your love is still as strong as the first day. Do you want to show each other that you would choose each other again and again? A symbolic wedding is the perfect way to renew your vows. For many, this symbolic ceremony is even more emotional than the original wedding. Because it shows: You are still the most important person in my heart, and my “I do” from then is still valid now and forever.

We design the program, duration and details according to your wishes, in a relaxed and individual atmosphere. Whether as a romantic couple or with family and friends. We can perform the symbolic ceremony in Mexico in English or Spanish, or in German upon request.
Wedding Ceremony for Cruisers
Are you making a stopover on your cruise on the Mexican island of Cozumel, just across the water from Playa del Carmen? Dreaming of a beach wedding in the Caribbean? We can organize that too and plan an unforgettable wedding with and for you.

Of course, we will tailor the program not only to your wishes, but also to the cruise ship’s docking times, so that you can relax and enjoy your wedding in Mexico and get back on board in time.
