Enjoying a Magnificent Destination Wedding in Mexico

Many couples are choosing to hold their wedding ceremony and reception in a foreign locale, with guests and the wedding party flying to the foreign destination for the wedding festivities. These types of weddings are called destination weddings. With an increase in the number of destination weddings booked around the world, destination wedding locations have seen a steady rise in the number of booked weddings. Mexico is no exception to this rule.

The Popularity Of Mexico Destination Weddings

With sandy beaches sitting by beautiful blue seas and mountainous terrain drenched in culture, no matter what the preference Mexico has a lot to offer engaged couples. Combined with the beautiful scenery, Mexico is also a popular vacation destination. Couples are using this as an opportunity to book their wedding and their honeymoon in Mexico, allowing them to double-up their wedding and honeymoon plans in one place.

Mexican resorts are also taking advantage of its destination wedding status by creating packages that cater to wedding parties. By providing special room rates for the wedding party and guests and having a full-time wedding planner on staff to take care of all of the details, along with special sightseeing excursions, Mexican resorts and spas are enjoying great success in this industry.

Locating The Perfect Mexico Destination for Your Wedding

If you are planning to hold your wedding ceremony and reception in Mexico, do a lot of research on the various locations available. Make sure you gather all of the details on what the venue offers for your wedding. Never assume that Mexican resorts offer the same products and services as United States ones. Find out where the closest airport is located and what type of transportation is available to get around while in Mexico. Remember that some regions of Mexico are still very remote and underdeveloped. This may be a benefit to you, but it may be troublesome if guests have to travel for five hours on a bus to get from the airport to the hotel where your wedding is.

While most of these destination wedding resorts have wedding planners and staff who speak English, there may be a language barrier involved if you do not speak Spanish and they only speak Spanish. Either have someone interpret for you or move on to another hotel, resort or location that holds wedding ceremonies.

It is also important to start planning early for a destination wedding in Mexico. By planning ahead you ensure that your guests and bridal party have enough time to make their trip plans and reservations, as well help save them money. Also, with the popularity of Mexico for these types of weddings, locations are getting booked. The more in advance you plan your wedding, the better chance you have of booking the location you want for your wedding.

Do not be misled thinking the wedding planner handles all of the wedding details for you. Addressing and mailing wedding invitations, renting or buying wedding attire, applying for the wedding license, and buying the wedding rings are just a few of the details you may have to handle yourself.
