The Wedding Package
These items are included in the basic wedding at Las Palapas.
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 done within Mexico. Or, you can have a symbolic ceremony on the beach and have your legal marriage performed at home - either prior 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 bridal couple and witnesses must be in Mexico 6 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).
