Legal or Symbolic Ceremony

There are various ways to be married here. You can opt for a legal ceremony that requires blood tests and legal paperwork to be completed in Mexico or you can have a symbolic ceremony on the beach and have your legal marriage performed at home - either prior to or after your trip to Mexico.

Option A - A legal ceremony is performed by a local municipal judge in Spanish only. Blood tests are required in Mexico along with 4 witnesses with proper documentation (passport & tourist card). Both the wedding couple and witnesses must be in Mexico 5 business days prior to the ceremony.
Option B - A symbolic, religious ceremony is performed by a local non-denominational clergyman in either Spanish or English. The minister will supply a marriage certificate from his church. (Catholic priests will not perform marriages outside the church).
Option C - Your own symbolic ceremony: The wedding couple can create their own vows/ceremony to be read by any individual designated by you.
(Deduct $400.00 from the package price if you use option C)
