📋 Wedding planning guide

1. Natural bohemian style

Tulum is synonymous with boho-chic style. Take advantage of local natural materials: wood, stone, macrame, wildflowers, and sustainable decor that harmonizes with the environment.

2. Legal requirements

The process is done at the Tulum Municipal Civil Registry. Standard Quintana Roo requirements: apostilled certificates, blood tests, witnesses, and IDs.

3. Mosquitoes and climate

Tulum has many mosquitoes, especially in the jungle and at dusk. Provide natural repellent to your guests and consider eco-friendly fumigation of the ceremony area.

4. Access and transport

The nearest airport is Cancun (CUN), 2 hours away. Tulum's new airport (TQO) also receives flights. Coordinate group transportation for guests.

5. Boutique hotels vs resorts

Tulum doesn't have large all-inclusive resorts. Hotels are boutique and eco-friendly with limited capacity. Book well in advance and consider renting an entire hotel.

Cenote weddings require special permits and have limited capacity (usually 30-60 people). Book at least 8 months in advance.
