Marrying in Excellence Riviera Cancun

With its Westernized vibe and proximity to the Riviera Maya’s natural wonders, this 14-mile stretch of Caribbean coast is a pleasureseeker’s utopia.

Whether arriving by air or cruise ship, myriad diversions (restaurants, clubs, mega malls) and the Hotel Zone’s array of full-service resorts and all-inclusives make it easy to customize your wedding’s look and feel — from afordable to luxe.

A tequila tasting station is a great way to encourage guests to loosen up and mingle while incorporating local favor.

Marrying in Cancun requires a little paperwork, but more than 5,000 couples per year do it, so you can too. A request form and copies of both birth certifcates, blood tests, passports and your witnesses’ IDs are required.

Most paperwork will need to be translated into Spanish and notarized by an attorney or notary public. Once all the signatures are fled and your wedding has been approved, you’re ready to walk that seaside aisle. — HVK

At Excellence Riviera Cancun, an all-suite, adults-only beachfront resort, your wedding ceremony can take place on the beach under an arch of white fowers, or on a pier with a petalsprinkled runner and an arch of exotic blooms. Celebrate to the tunes of a romantic guitar trio or mariachi band.

Three packages simplify planning and include romantic perks. Honeymoon in a spacious suite with a private Jacuzzi or rooftop terrace and hydrospa pool.

The Excellence Group portfolio includes luxury, adults-only, allinclusive properties, as well as the Beloved boutique hotel brand. 866-540-2585, weddings.cun@excellence-resorts.com
