Get ready to discover off-the-beach wedding venues that will make your destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean truly magical!
Garden Venues
We’re seeing a lot of nature-inspired destination weddings lately and can’t help but love the secret garden experience at Dreams Tulum! Couples can become one with nature by incorporating greenery and other elements from their surroundings into centerpieces and décor. Unico 20˚87˚ also offers a stunning garden gazebo with privacy and plenty of romance!
Rooftop Sky Terrace
A sky wedding is an entirely private, elegant, and sophisticated wedding venue! You’ll receive a unique experience for you and your guests with breathtaking 360-degree views overlooking the beach and ocean. We recommend Dreams Macao and Azul Beach Riviera Cancun as they offer some of the very best views in the Caribbean and Mexico!
Tropical Pier
A tropical pier is a wonderful option for couples looking to make a grand entrance. Offering gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea during your ceremony, with soft blowing breezes and the subtle sounds of waves in the background and providing shade for you and your guests. El Dorado Seaside Suites and Generations Riviera Maya both have magnificent options –without all the sand!
Oceanfront Chapels
If you’re looking for a tropical yet traditional wedding, then you’ll want to consider one of our preferred oceanfront chapels! Not only do they present a gorgeous ceremony option, but it’s also a great backup space should there be an unexpected rainstorm. Hard Rock Los Cabos and Moon Palace Grand are among our favorite chapel venues in paradise!
Natural Cenote
A cenote venue is quite possibly one of our most unique destination wedding venues yet! These ceremonies are known for being rich in culture and great for taking in your surroundings. We recommend a Mayan Ceremony at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort for its distinctive and natural ambiance, lush tropical plants, and intimate atmosphere.
Oceanfront Gazebo
These charming structures provide a picturesque setting with stunning panoramic views of the sparkling ocean. With an open-air design, an oceanfront gazebo offers the perfect balance of being close to the water but not in the sand. Whether you desire a romantic sunset ceremony or a daytime celebration with the ocean as your backdrop, this unique and elegant option creates an elegant, intimate atmosphere and a sense of privacy. We love the oceanfront gazebos at The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences and Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya.
Destination wedding venues extend far beyond the beach, offering enchanting alternatives that are anything but cookie-cutter! Ready to explore these extraordinary options?
