Big Wedding in Mexico Advice
 
We are thinking of having our wedding in Mexico (but we want beach). I think quite a few people will actually make it - possibly 150+ people or so. I realize this is a lot - people's destination weddings are usually fewer guests but I have many willing relatives!

We love the Riviera Maya, but we're not opposed to other parts of Mexico. Does anyone know of a place that could accomodate this many for a wedding? And that allows kids?

THANKS!

Get your (legal) civil service done at home before the event here.
No beach, but many choose "our" El Pueblo Magico for weddings.
Depending on time of year, perhaps Zihuatanejo; Mazatlan or the Costalegre www.costalegre.ca or www.tomzap.com

Sounds like you might have to use an AI. Have you looked at the Rius or the Iberostars?

If you don't want an AI, what about the Fairmont at MayaKoba?

The Puerto Vallarta Marriott would be a great location for a beach wedding. It has a beautiful beach with a great view. There is a designated wedding area right on the beach. The setting would be incredible especially at sunset.

Thanks everyone.

Pepper131 - what's an "AI"? Is that an all inclusive?

Yes...AI = all inclusive. Not sure why the I is sometimes a full-on cap and other times it isn't...weird.
