4. Gay Weddings at This Resort
At PlayaDelCarmen.Com we’re passionate about making wedding dreams a reality.
So, we love helping same-sex couples organize their celebrations.
Most of the couples we work with prefer to have a symbolic ceremony in Mexico.
This means they can leave all the legal arrangements for back home.
But, it’s possible to organize a legal same-sex wedding in Mexico with just a little extra paperwork and planning.
Call us on 888-537-9797 for more information about this.

You and your wedding party will never get bored inside the resort.
But, I’d still encourage you to explore further afield as well.
The team at PlayaDelCarmen.Com will arrange tours and activities as part of your overall wedding experience.
One that I always recommend is the “About Tulum Full Day Explorer” tour.
You get to explore the Tulum ruins, enjoy some snorkeling, and swim in a cenote.
It’s a fabulous way to spend a day.
Have wedding guests who are bringing children with them?
No problem, there are plenty of kid-friendly activities available.

“We had 65 guests and Ana made sure that our ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect. Unfortunately, it started raining right before our outdoor reception, but she quickly arranged to move our reception into the ballroom. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and were very happy on our wedding day and throughout the trip! The resort is absolutely beautiful.”
