Mexico

Getting married on a beautiful white-sand beach is the reason you’d choose to have your wedding in Mexico, not to mention the convenience. You and your guests can experience a luxurious, tropical getaway not too far from home, as most U.S. cities fly directly into Mexico. The national language is Spanish, but locals typically understand English and often accept the American dollar.

There are plenty of resorts in Mexico for you to choose from. The Riviere Maya is home to many gorgeous resorts filled with friendly locals and delicious food. And if beach weddings aren’t your thing, many resorts offer more exotic experiences, giving you the option of having your ceremony in a Mayan ruin or a sky terrace.

There isn’t a bad time to hit up Mexico for a wedding, but there are some things to consider. It’s more likely to rain between May and October, which is hurricane season, and it’s quite hot. On the other hand, peak tourist season is between Christmas and Easter. Weigh the pros and cons of both when planning your wedding.

As for cost, it depends on the number of guests and the resort you choose. The average Mexican all-inclusive wedding is between $5,000 and $7,000.
