Immerse yourself in Mexican tradition with a cultural wedding celebration

Velas Resorts proudly presents a newly reimagined wedding collection across all properties, celebrating Mexico’s vibrant heritage through thoughtfully curated experiences. These distinctive offerings transform destination weddings into unforgettable cultural journeys, where couples and their guests are invited to savor the richness of Mexican flavors, colors, and traditions.

A warm welcome to Mexican culture

The celebration begins with immersive pre-wedding events that set the tone for an authentic experience. A lively welcome fiesta introduces guests to the essence of Mexico, featuring regional street food favorites like tacos al pastor, esquites, and tamales, complemented by refreshing aguas frescas and lively folk music.

Guests can further connect with the culture through expert-led tequila and mezcal tastings, where they can discover the nuances of Mexico’s iconic spirits. For those drawn to culinary adventures, hands-on cooking classes offer the chance to craft traditional dishes such as mole, cochinita pibil, and chiles en nogada. Meanwhile, local artisans guide participants through time-honored crafts like pottery painting, weaving, and papel picado, allowing each guest to create a meaningful keepsake.

Ceremonies with cultural soul

Weddings at Velas Resorts honor personal love stories while embracing symbolic Mexican customs. Couples can incorporate enchanting elements, such as mariachi bands, pre-Hispanic flute ensembles, and folkloric dancers, to enhance the ambiance. Attire embroidered with intricate bordados and custom Swarovski lazos deepens the significance of the ceremony. Mini altars inspired by Día de los Muertos offer heartfelt tributes to loved ones no longer present, adding emotional resonance.

The cocktail hour continues the cultural immersion with artisanal Mexican cocktails, crafted using regional fruits and herbs —each sip a tribute to the country’s diverse mixology heritage.

A celebration of flavors and artistry

Receptions are a feast for the senses, blending exquisite cuisine with dynamic live performances. Guests enjoy vibrant mariachi music while sampling regional specialties like Oaxacan tlayudas, Yucatecan panuchos, and Baja-style fish tacos. As the evening progresses, late-night street food carts serve nostalgic favorites like elotes and churros, with dipping sauces, adding a playful twist to the festivities.

A decadent Mexican wedding cake—subtly spiced with cinnamon and chili—serves as the grand finale, accompanied by handcrafted party favors such as Talavera ceramics or painted alebrijes, offering guests a tangible memory of their cultural journey.

Tailored experiences in iconic destinations

Whether opting for a fully immersive wedding package or selecting à la carte elements, couples can design an event that reflects their style while honoring local traditions. Velas Resorts’ stunning properties in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya, and Puerto Vallarta provide idyllic settings, enhancing each moment with breathtaking scenery and exceptional service.

This new wedding concept redefines what it means to host a destination celebration in Mexico. With deep respect for cultural authenticity and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Velas Resorts invites couples to celebrate love in the most meaningful way—by embracing the spirit of Mexico.
