Tequila, tacos and true love

Picture this: you’re swapping ‘I dos’ on a white-sand beach on the Caribbean Coast as the waves lap against the shore. That’s what a Mexican wedding looks like.

The country has a rich history of celebrating love, from Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s legendary romance to traditional Mariachi serenades. Plenty of resorts here specialise in weddings, providing beautiful venues, professional planners, and packages that cover everything from flowers to photography, plus authentic Mexican menus.

Given the tropical climate in the country, particularly in popular wedding spots like Cancun and Tulum, you can expect toasty temps for your big day – no matter what time of year you choose. With direct flights from the UK and countless post-ceremony activities, like exploring Mayan ruins or snorkelling in natural cenote pools, jumping straight into honeymoon mode is easy.
