Where are the wedding ceremonies held?

Our wedding packages are held on the beach at Mr. Sancho’s Beach Club in Cozumel, Mexico.

Your ceremony area is set up specifically for your wedding, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful beach ceremony with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop.

How do I reserve my wedding date?

Once you have selected the wedding package that best fits your plans, complete our Save the Date form to begin the reservation process.

After confirming availability, we will provide you with the information needed to move forward with your Service Agreement and deposit.

Submitting an inquiry or receiving an estimate does not reserve your wedding date. Your date is not confirmed until the reservation process has been completed and your deposit has been received.

Can I customize one of your wedding packages?

Absolutely! Our packages are designed to give you a starting point for your Cozumel wedding.

Depending on availability, additional services and upgrades can be added to personalize your wedding, including photography, flowers and décor, upgraded ceremony setups, entertainment, transportation and other services.

If you have something special in mind, please ask!

What is included with a symbolic ceremony?

Our wedding packages include a symbolic commitment ceremony.

The ceremony may be performed by a member of our wedding staff, or you are welcome to have a friend or family member perform your ceremony.

A symbolic ceremony does not create a legal marriage in Mexico.

Can a friend or family member perform our ceremony?

Yes! You are welcome to have someone special to you perform your symbolic ceremony.

If we bring our own officiant, is there a deduction from the package price?

No. The symbolic ceremony is included as part of the wedding package and is not priced as a separate officiant service.

If you choose to have a friend or family member perform your ceremony, the package price remains the same.

Can we have a Minister perform our ceremony?

Yes. If you prefer to replace our staff member with a Minister, this can be arranged for an additional fee.

Please ask us for the current rate.

What if we want to be legally married in Mexico?

A legally binding marriage in Mexico requires a Civil Judge, along with additional legal documentation and processing.

These services are not included in our standard symbolic wedding packages and will be added separately to your estimate.

Because legal requirements and government fees can change, we will provide you with the current requirements and pricing when you request a legal ceremony.

What documents are required for a legal wedding?

Requirements for a legal marriage in Mexico can change and may vary depending on the couple’s individual circumstances.

We will provide you with the current document requirements and step-by-step instructions when you reserve a legal wedding.

Typical requirements may include valid passports for the couple and witnesses, a marriage application and required medical testing.

Please do not arrange legal documents or testing based solely on information found online. We will confirm the requirements that apply to your wedding before you begin the process.

Will our Mexican marriage be legally recognized in our home country?

A civil marriage performed by the appropriate Mexican authority results in a Mexican marriage certificate.

Requirements for registering or recognizing a foreign marriage vary by country, state and province.

It is the couple’s responsibility to verify the requirements with the appropriate authorities where they live. Your marriage certificate will be issued in Spanish, and additional translation, certification or registration may be required.

How early do we need to arrive in Cozumel for a legal wedding?

This depends on where required documents and medical testing are completed.

If any required testing will be completed in Cozumel, additional time before the wedding may be necessary.

Once you reserve a legal ceremony, we will provide you with a timeline and instructions based on the current requirements.

Can we get legally married if we arrive by cruise ship?

Legal weddings for cruise ship couples may be possible depending on the current legal requirements, your ship’s schedule and whether all required documentation and testing can be completed appropriately.

Please contact us before booking a legal ceremony so we can review the requirements with you.

What if we don’t have witnesses?

If witnesses are required for your legal ceremony and you are not traveling with the required number, please let us know.

We can discuss options for providing witnesses for an additional fee.

What time should we arrive for the wedding?

Your arrival time will depend on your ceremony time and the services you have selected.

As we get closer to your wedding date, we will provide you with the appropriate arrival and wedding-day timing.

Please allow plenty of time to arrive at Mr. Sancho’s, especially if you are arriving by cruise ship.

Is there a bridal room?

Yes. Our wedding packages include access to a private bridal vanity room for the bride to change and make any last-minute preparations before the ceremony.

The bridal room is available one hour before your scheduled ceremony time and up to one hour after the ceremony. It is not available as an all-day getting-ready room.

Is there a room available for the groom?

Yes. If the groom would also like a private space to change and get ready before the ceremony, an additional air-conditioned groom’s room may be rented, subject to availability.

The groom’s room is also available one hour before your scheduled ceremony time and up to one hour after the ceremony.

Please ask us for current pricing and availability if you would like to add the groom’s room to your wedding.

How long is the ceremony?

Our symbolic ceremonies are generally approximately 15–20 minutes, depending on the ceremony you select and whether you add any special readings, personal vows or traditions.

Your wedding package includes one hour at the ceremony location, allowing plenty of time for your ceremony and scheduled photo session if in your package.

Can we bring our own music?

Yes! Our packages include a sound system for your personal ceremony music.

Before your wedding, we will ask you to provide your music selections for the important moments of your ceremony.

How long will my wedding coordinator be with us?

Your wedding coordinator will arrive before you to prepare the ceremony area, receive and coordinate your vendors, and make sure everything is ready for your arrival.

Your coordinator will be there to receive you and will remain with you throughout your one hour at the ceremony location, coordinating your ceremony and scheduled wedding activities.

Once your scheduled time at the ceremony location is complete, your coordinator will say goodbye, and you and your guests may continue enjoying Mr. Sancho’s if you have purchased All-Inclusive Day Passes.

Your continued time at Mr. Sancho’s under an All-Inclusive Day Pass is separate from your wedding package and wedding coordination services.

Do we need to purchase day passes for Mr. Sancho’s?

If you and your guests plan to stay at Mr. Sancho’s and enjoy the beach club and All-Inclusive services, we highly recommend purchasing your day passes as early as possible.

Mr. Sancho’s is a very popular beach club and All-Inclusive passes can sell out, particularly on busy cruise ship days.

Day passes are purchased directly through Mr. Sancho’s Beach Club, pricing and reservations can be found here https://mrsanchos.com/activity/mr-sanchos-beach-club-all-inclusive-day-pass/

Does everyone in our group need to have an All-Inclusive Day Pass?

In order for All-Inclusive food and beverage service to begin, everyone remaining with your group must be under the All-Inclusive plan.

If you have guests attending the wedding who do not plan to purchase an All-Inclusive Day Pass, they are welcome to attend the ceremony; however, All-Inclusive service for your group cannot begin until those guests have left the beach club.

Please keep this in mind when planning your wedding day, particularly if some guests plan to attend only the ceremony while the rest of the group plans to stay and enjoy the All-Inclusive services afterward.

Can our group sit together after the wedding?

If your group will be staying at Mr. Sancho’s after the ceremony, we can request that your tables be reserved together.

For groups of 20 guests or more, please consider a 20% gratuity for your dedicated wait staff.

Please provide us with your Mr. Sancho’s reservation information so we can coordinate your group with the beach club.

Are food and drinks included in the wedding package?

The wedding package and the Mr. Sancho’s All-Inclusive Day Pass are separate.

If you purchase the All-Inclusive Day Pass, your food and beverages are provided through Mr. Sancho’s according to the inclusions of your day pass.

Your wedding package includes what is itemized on your Cozumel Wedding Packages invoice.

What happens if it rains?

Cozumel is a tropical island, and brief rain showers can occur from time to time.

Whenever possible, we prefer to wait for a passing shower to move through rather than immediately changing your beach wedding plans. Tropical showers can often pass quickly, and depending on the day’s schedule, we may be able to delay the ceremony to allow the weather to improve.

Our goal is always to give you the beautiful beach ceremony you planned whenever conditions allow.

Please keep in mind that weather is beyond our control, so some flexibility may be necessary on your wedding day. We will evaluate the conditions at the time and work with you and your vendors to determine the best option for your ceremony.

Can we have a wedding if we are arriving by cruise ship?

Absolutely! We have extensive experience coordinating weddings for couples arriving in Cozumel by cruise ship.

We will help you plan your ceremony time around your ship’s scheduled arrival and departure so you have sufficient time to get to the wedding location and return to the ship.

What happens if our cruise ship arrives late?

If your ship is delayed, please contact us as soon as you have information.

We will do everything reasonably possible to adjust the wedding-day schedule based on the circumstances and vendor availability.

What happens if our cruise ship does not dock in Cozumel?

Cruise itineraries and port calls are controlled by the cruise lines and port authorities and are outside of our control.

If your ship is unable to dock in Cozumel, please contact us as soon as possible. We will review your individual circumstances, the services reserved and our vendors’ policies to determine what options may be available.

What is the $300 deposit used for?

The $300 USD deposit is used to officially secure your wedding date with Cozumel Wedding Packages and the wedding location.

Please note that the deposit is a date-retainer and is not applied toward or used to reserve individual vendor services such as photography, flowers, cake, music, transportation, décor, or other wedding services.

Approximately one month prior to the wedding, we will finalize your wedding details together and provide your final invoice for review and approval. Once the final invoice has been approved and payment arrangements are completed, we will proceed with confirming and ordering the individual vendor services included in your wedding plans.

When is my final payment due?

Your final wedding payment is due 15 days prior to your wedding date.

We must receive payment before final vendor orders and wedding services can be confirmed.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment options and instructions will be provided during the booking and planning process.

Please note that applicable processing fees, bank fees and taxes may apply depending on the payment method selected.

When do we finalize our wedding details?

During the planning process, we will collect your final wedding information, including your guest count, ceremony selections, music, flowers, décor and any additional services you have selected.

We will provide you with instructions for submitting your final details as your wedding date approaches.

Please submit requested information by the deadlines provided so that we have adequate time to coordinate your vendors and wedding services.
