Besides the classic beach weddings, ceremonies held under a gazebo are also very common. A gazebo is a covered circular construction with 360-degree views. Especially on hot days, it is an ideal choice since sheltered there; you can enjoy the ceremony with the greatest comfort. There are open gazebos in which the air circulates; others are closed and made of different materials and sizes: from the Mayan-style ones to those made of concrete with a roof. They are peculiar constructions that delight the guests, and in the photos, they look lovely! I enjoy them a lot as a photographer. Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Moon Palace have very nice ones. Here you can see some examples.

One of the main attractions of big resorts, without a doubt, is their all-inclusive services. Once you check-in, you enter a complex that provides all the facilities, services, and entertainment that anyone could wish. Accompanied by exquisite customer service and friendly staff, spending a short vacation at one of these resorts is truly relaxing. You can schedule a massage and spa session just before the ceremony; what a better way to start the day! They also have sky decks, terraces, gazebos, nightclubs, and restaurants, making organizing the event an easy-going experience. Royalton Riviera Cancun is one of our favorites. If you are looking for comfort and facilities, this kind of venue is your best choice. Below you can find some selected photo shoots.

Ceremonies held on the Cancun beach are very characteristic; they have a turquoise blue sea as a background and soft white sand. Usually, an arch decorated with flowers is set on the seashore, with a few rows of chairs for the guests. The ceremony can be civil or religious and sometimes is officiated by a friend or relative. You can customize it down to the last detail. Your family and friends will enjoy a lovely ceremony under the soft light of sunset! As a photographer, I have photographed many of this kind. You can organize one at a big hotel such as Secrets The Vine, and something more boho-style on a nearby island called Isla Mujeres, its Zama Beach Club is fabulous! Here you can find some selected photo shoots.

Combining the marriage celebration with the holidays is an excellent idea if you want to save on costs. It is an option that many families choose since they can take a family trip, stay in a luxury resort with all the comforts, and perform a small ceremony in the same facilities. It is common in Cancun’s hotel zone to find hotels with special packages for guests. These are small celebrations, usually about 50 guests, who have previously lived together in a familiar and safe environment. I have worked at many family-friendly events as a photographer, and I love them! Dreams Jade Resort is a good place for small celebrations. Below you can find a selection of my favorite ones.

Apart from the amenities and location, one of the aspects to consider when choosing a resort to celebrate a destination wedding is undoubtedly its architectural style and decoration. Interior design is essential, and it will be reflected in the photographs. As a photographer, I recommend choosing a well-decorated place with a peculiar style or theme, making the photos stand out. Also, the rooms’ space and the available bridal or presidential suites will be important points to consider. Throughout Cancun’s hotel zone, countless hotels will be able to satisfy these expectations. Excellence Playa Mujeres and Dreams Riviera Cancun are good options. Here you can see a small selection of photoshoots made at the best venues in Cancun.
