Mexico’s Caribbean coastline is an extensive series of white sand beaches. All with dreamy, crystal clear, turquoise waters. With all this in the background, your photos can’t fail to be spectacular. We have chosen the more intimate resorts to hold your dream wedding.

Mexico is situated in the northern region of the American continent flanked by the Gulf of Mexico on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It is bordered by the United States on the north and by Guatemala and Belize on the south. Mexico is a traveller's heaven, overflowing with a whole host of contrasting identities: desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes, ancient ruins, unchanged colonial towns, plush resorts, deserted beaches and amazing plant and animal life. The mix of modern and traditional, is the key to Mexico's charm, whether your passion is enjoying margaritas, listening to howler monkeys, surfing the Mexican Pipeline or exploring Mayan ruins.

Nearly two thirds of the country has a warm mild climate whilst other areas have a tropical climate, where temperatures are dictated by altitude. The coastal and flat areas are hot and humid, while the central plateau region has a mild climate. The highlands tend to be fairly mild, but can encounter sudden drops in temperature at night. Rainfall varies greatly from region to region. Only the Sierra Madre Oriental, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the state of Chiapas in the far south receive the only measurable amount of rain during the year with the wet season running between June and October. All other areas have rainless seasons. Some snow in the north in winter. Dry season runs from November to May, obviously this is the time we would recommend to visit.
