A barefoot beach wedding in Tulum
Four days on the Riviera Maya for 64 guests, from a bonfire welcome on the sand to a sunset ceremony and a farewell swim in a cenote.
Sample itineraryTulum works for weddings because it gives guests a real holiday around the celebration: beaches, ruins above the sea, cenotes and some of the best food on the coast. It also asks a lot of the planning: guests arrive at different times through Cancún, two hours away, and most of them are booking their own rooms.
This sample itinerary shows how we would run it. The couple approves the guest list; every guest gets their own page to register, choose a room in the block and pay through Fora; and the couple watches it all come together on their dashboard, without chasing anyone.
Highlights
- One room block at a beachfront resort, with a second hotel for friends on a budget
- A cenote morning for anyone who wanted it, signed up in the guest portal
- Airport transfers built from each guest's flight, updated when flights changed
The plan
- Thursday
Arrivals and a bonfire welcome
Guests land in Cancún and ride to Tulum on transfers grouped by arrival time. That evening, tacos, mezcal and a bonfire on the beach.
- Friday
Cenotes and a slow afternoon
A morning swim in a cenote for the adventurous, spa and pool time for everyone else. The wedding party gathers for a short rehearsal.
- Saturday
The wedding
A ceremony on the sand at golden hour, dinner under the trees strung with lights, and dancing until the band calls it.
- Sunday
Farewell brunch
Brunch by the water, then departures on the same grouped transfers that brought everyone in.
This is a sample itinerary that shows how we plan this kind of trip. Photos are illustrative. Every celebration we plan is built around your group, your dates and your budget.
