💍 Quick Facts for Couples
Best Weather to Marry: Caribbean (Cancún, Riviera Maya, Tulum): Nov–Apr is driest (peak Dec–Mar). Pacific (Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit): Nov–May is ideal. Note: Atlantic hurricane season runs Jun–Nov (highest risk Aug–Oct); sargassum seaweed can affect some Caribbean beaches in late spring/summer.
Visa Needed: UK/EU tourists: Typically no visa required for short stays; you’ll receive a tourist entry (FMM) on arrival or electronically. Always check the latest guidance with the Mexican consulate/INM before you book.
Legal Documents Needed (civil marriage): Valid passports, birth certificates (often apostilled and officially translated), tourist entry/FMM, local marriage application, and witnesses (usually 2–4 with ID; varies by state). Some states may still require blood tests/health certificate—check local rules. Prior marriage paperwork (divorce decree or death certificate) must be apostilled/translated. Catholic ceremonies require church documentation (baptism/confirmation certificates, Pre-Cana). Many couples handle the legal marriage at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Mexico for simplicity.
Flight Duration: UK → Cancún: ~10–11 hrs nonstop. UK → Mexico City: ~11–12 hrs nonstop.
Other Useful Info: Hotspots: Riviera Maya (Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum), Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit, San Miguel de Allende, Oaxaca, Mexico City (stylish rooftops & museums). Ceremony Types: Civil (legal), Catholic, symbolic, Mayan-inspired blessings. Vendors: Abundant bilingual planners, photographers, and décor teams; excellent value at all tiers—from boutique beachfront to luxury resorts and historic haciendas.
