Incredible Wedding Backdrop
Destination weddings are all about breaking out of the wedding norm and choosing to commit yourself to your partner in a place that feels like a dream. Undeniably, the reason why so many couples choose to have a destination wedding in Cancun is the breathtaking scenery. On the shimmering white sands, between the crystal waters and the lush tropical jungle, you and your partner can pronounce your love for one another encompassed by sublime beauty. And with the sounds of rolling turquoise waves and swishing palm leaves, you won’t need any music to make the moment more magical.
Sunshine for Days
If you plan your wedding to take place during the right season, you’ll get to experience endless sunshine and cool breezes. Cancun is ideal for winter weddings because of its year-round tropical climate and balmy temperatures which means you can ditch the winter coats at your ceremony. What’s better than splashing in the water and working on your tan while everyone back home is bundled up for the latest snowstorm! Just make sure to carefully plan your wedding date to avoid the possibility of tropical storms or summer heat.
Amazing Fresh Cuisine
When you send your invitations to friends and family, one of the first questions they’ll ask will be about the menu. Everyone loves a great meal and your wedding guests will be delighted by the incredible dining options Cancun’s chefs have to offer. And with such close access to the ocean, fresh seafood is always readily available and decadently prepared. Your guests might leave talking about the food just as much as the actual wedding!
Immersive Cultural Experience
Cancun is located in the Yucatan Peninsula, just north of the Caribbean coast resort region, the Riviera Maya, named after Mayan ruins in the area. This area is rich with culture and ancient structures that will entice any history buff for a day of exploring the jungle. Cancun is the perfect mixture of old and new, with a vibrant tapestry of history coexisting alongside a thrilling nightlife scene. After checking out the local cultural sights, you can dance the night away at one of the area’s famous nightclubs!
World-Famous Resorts
With so many visitors, Cancun has built a reputation for having world-class resorts. You and your guests will get to enjoy luxurious room with stunning views and superior service. Another added benefit to choosing a destination wedding in Cancun is the fact that many of the resorts offer all-inclusive packages that will allow you to seamlessly transition from the wedding to the honeymoon with no additional stress. Local wedding photographers are also familiar with these locations and know all the perfect angles to help capture every gorgeous detail of your venue on your special day.
Affordable Ceremony and Reception
In 2016, the average wedding in the United States cost upwards of $35,000. If that sounds crazy to you, you’ll be excited to know that many people choose destination weddings because they’re often more affordable than a local wedding. It might seem counterintuitive, but with the amazing deals and packages available and the smaller guest list, you’ll actually be able to walk away with plenty of nest egg money to start your married life together. You’ll also be able to save on honeymoon costs since the beach of your dreams will be right at your doorstep!
For an unforgettable, intimate, romantic experience that your close friends and family will be talking about for years to come, Cancun is the ideal destination wedding location. Don’t let long-distance coordination fears or worries about language barriers prevent you from planning a destination celebration!
