Sub Title:
When you marry in Mexico, the emphasis is on the event, not the requirements. Getting married in Mexico is easy – very little is required.
Choose the ceremony type that suites you::
- Civil/legal ceremony: This cermony type is available 7 days a week, at any hour you choose. If you want your marriage recognized as legal at home you must have civil ceremony, but you can combine this official portion of the ceremony with a religious ceremony if you choose. Although civil marriages performed in Mexico are legal in Mexico, you must legalize your marriage in your country of birth/residence. Do this by registering your marriage certificate at your local City Hall when you return home. Click here to see all requirements and documents for civil ceremonies.
- Religious or symbolic:
Catholic Ceremonies
- Catholic ceremonies are available alone or in conjunction with a civil ceremony. Catholic ceremonies are additional $500 and are not included in any of the packages.
- The ceremony (performed by a priest) requires an official letter from the bride and groom’s house of worship allowing them to marry in Mexico. Catholic ceremonies also require bride and groom birth certificates, baptism certificates and confirmation certificates. These documents should be submitted three months before the wedding day.
- Catholic ceremonies can only be performed in a chapel in Mexico. Chapels are featured at El Dorado Maroma and El Dorado Royale and Casitas Royale hotels.
- Jewish ceremonies are available alone or in conjunction with a civil ceremony. The rabbi is available for $1,000 plus airfare from Florida and a 1 or 2 night stay..
- Alternatively, couples may arrange for their own rabbi to officiate the ceremony.
- Jewish ceremonies require an official letter from the bride and groom’s house of worship allowing them to marry in Mexico.
- Jewish ceremonies may be performed in the available location of the bride and groom’s choosing.
Every type of ceremony requires:
- Valid Passport: Passports are required to enter Mexico and are also mandatory for a legal wedding to be performed. Passports must be presented to the On-Site Wedding Coordinator at the time of the wedding consultation.
- Tourist Card: These are provided on the plane prior to arrival into Cancun International Airport. Names on tourist card and passport MUST be the same.
