  • With the right logistics, the Ceremony and Reception can be in the same area, so your guests won’t need to move from one place to another.

    Hi Tracy, my boyfriend and I want to get married in Playa del Carmen. We have been looking at different hotels but have not found the right one. We want a venue overlooking the ocean but not on the sand or grass either. We also are having a hard time because the venues we called require 80% of guests to stay in the same hotel and we would like to leave it up to the guests to choose a hotel to stay. Would you please suggest some options, greatly appreciated. Giselle and Jose

    My fiance and I are thinking of getting married in Playa del Carmen and we love love love the whole beach theme. We were thinking of summer 2019 and honestly, not too sure about the guest list. We originally had 200 when we thought we would have it back at home in NY, but budget got in the way, hence the Destination Wedding. So not sure, ususally the percentage of people off your guest list that would actually show up at a wedding. And was worried about hurricane season, rain, etc. I’m very new looking into Destination Wedding info.
