Our Cancun Trip: Destination Wedding Venue Tour

I recently took a trip with my fiancé to tour our destination wedding venue in Cancún! My fiancé really wanted to get married at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, and we ended up choosing a hotel called Hyatt Ziva Cancun. We were won over by on the gorgeous ceremony venues, glowing hotel reviews, reasonable wedding package options, and well-priced hotel rates for guests compared to similar quality all-inclusive resorts. This is an extremely popular destination wedding venue with a wedding basically every day during peak season. On the plus side, the hotel staff are pros at weddings, and our designated hotel wedding coordinator is very helpful and knowledgeable. On the other hand, keep in my mind that yours may not be the only wedding at the resort during your wedding weekend.

There are multiple event spaces around the resort. Here are the three ceremony venue options that we considered (but there are others, including a ballroom option). Let me know in the comments which one you would choose:

Ceremony Venue Option 1 - Cliffside Gazebo

🏝️ Most popular ceremony venue

🏝️ Gorgeous views, but potentially windy on the cliff

🏝️ I personally did not like the aesthetic of the white gazebo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ceremony Venue Option 2 - Beach

🏝️ The epitome of destination wedding vibes!

🏝️ Not sure how I felt about walking down the aisle in the sand?

🏝️ This is also available as a reception venue option

Ceremony Venue Option 3 - Lighthouse Gazebo

🏝️ This is the location that made me fall in love with this hotel for our wedding venue!

🏝️ Great views and feels a little more private

🏝️ This is ceremony venue that we selected 🤗🤍

After the ceremony, we will have guests go to a nearby lawn area for our cocktail hour.

Finally, our reception will be on a rooftop terrace with panoramic ocean views. The space is basically blank canvas that we will need to fill in with a dance floor and furniture rentals.

We still have a lot of planning to do, but we are so excited for wedding at Hyatt Ziva Cancun !

A popular choice is the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, known for its all-inclusive packages that simplify planning. The resort boasts multiple event spaces, including breathtaking beach venues and scenic rooftop terraces, perfect for receptions and cocktail hours. When selecting a venue, consider factors such as guest comfort, accessibility, and weather conditions, especially since many ceremonies are outdoors.
