3. Wedding Venues

…Now to visualise where you are going to say those magical words “I do”.

Here are all the wedding venues to choose from at Panama Jack Cancun… they are seriously swoon-worthy!

1. Ventanas Terrace

Keep everything breezy above ground and enjoy the luxury of having a private terrace with ocean views for your wedding.

This particular location is one of my favourites at nighttime when the fairy lights and everything around the hotel are lit up!

Back to top

2. Panama Jack Cancun Event Rooms

This is a large space perfect for a bigger wedding and reception parties.

Plus, if you’re having your wedding during the rainy season obviously indoors eliminating the risk of rain.

3. Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel

If you are religious, this hotel has it all!

A panoramic chapel with air-conditioning…what more could you ask for?

There is limited seating indoors (60 person max), but guests can still attend outdoors.

4. Gazebo

If you were hoping for an outdoor location, you are in luck.

Listen to the sounds of the waves roll in and out of the shore as you say your vows!

This location works particularly well during the morning or evening, typically when the sun is lowest and coolest in the sky.

Don’t forget…during mid-day in peak season, the heat is intense.

5. Ceremony On The Beach

If you’ve always dreamed of getting wed on the beach, it doesn’t get much better than this!

Cancun is famed for its proud white sands, and Panama Jack Cancun does not disappoint (more on that later).

Back to top

6. Villas On The Beach

Feel the sand between your toes during your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception!

Relaxed beach vibes and surely the spot for all of your guest to truly sink into the rhythm of the tropics for your big day.

7. Terrace Villas

I mean just look at this setup!

Beautiful… ocean views, private location.

In my opinion, it’s the private reception location of dreams!

7. Kulkucan Event Room

Yup, you guessed it this resort has not one but three event rooms for back up.

Albeit this one if a lot smaller. 🙂

It’s not my personal choice but if I was getting married I would like to know there is a beautiful Plan B should the weather go rogue.

7. Yalku Xcaret Event Room

This room is typically used for meetings but can be transformed into a epic space where any couple would be happy to say “I do”

The wedding team at Panama Jack certainly do have an eye for gorgeous aesthetics.

6. Beach

There are many resorts perched neatly upon Cancun’s shores but Panama Jack pride themselves on keeping the beach flawless!

Described recently by one of our clients as “very clean, very friendly, the most pretty beach and ocean“, we think this summarises the beach at Panama Jack Cancun perfectly.

If you were thinking of a beach ceremony this would be the resort to do it at.

The WiFi at this hotel even works well on the beach!

As you saw in the wedding package I detail, it includes a romantic beach dinner. My recommendation?

Do NOT skip out on this dinner it is incredible.

Being waited on hand on foot while you enjoy the company of your new wife/husband on a starry night?

Find out what recent bride who had their wedding at this hotel has to say about their experience…

Norma

This place has the most magical chapel! The views ! The service ! I have stayed and previous resorts in Cancun . By far this is one of my favorites! My wedding was amazing they accommodated 57 of us and treated us like royalty . Also, the cleanness is great. They sanitize every table after every use . They are safe and follow all protocols . I will definitely be back. Food was also so delicious ! The mahi mahi was the best! Our server Daniel , chef Santiago and captain Esmeralda are great as well. Overall this is a must when coming with family or as a couple.

10. Pros & Cons

Things we LOVE:

• Panama Jack is part of Playa Resorts  – we love working with these guys it’s always high-level service, easy and effective. For example, they have been great through the whole COVID pandemic and have shown impeccable leadership for others in the hotel industry to follow suit.
• The hotel isn’t overwhelmingly big.
• Great range of wedding packages to choose from.

Things we don’t love as much:

• If you are not into the hustle and bustle on vacation, Cancun may not be the location for you. Luckily, there is a Panama Jack in Playa del Carmen too if you were looking for somewhere a little more laid back.
• Sometimes they do operate more than one wedding a day.
