Luxury packages go well past $30,000. Below we compare the real published packages at 17 resorts across Cancún, Playa Mujeres, the Riviera Maya and Tulum, so you can see what you actually get for the money.
How Cancún wedding packages work
Almost every all-inclusive resort on this coast sells weddings as tiered packages. Each tier bundles the same building blocks, and the price climbs as you add guests, time and décor.
- Ceremony only. An officiant, a ceremony setup, flowers for the couple and often a sparkling toast. These are the “elope” or “just the two of you” packages.
- Ceremony and reception. Adds a private dinner or cocktail hour, a cake, a set number of guests and more coordination. This is where most couples land.
- Luxury and multi-day packages. Larger guest counts, upgraded décor, entertainment and sometimes welcome or farewell events, including South Asian wedding packages at several resorts.
Every package includes a set number of guests. Each extra guest is charged a per-person rate, and that rate is the single biggest driver of your final price. Guests pay for their own rooms, which is why resorts reward large room blocks with free or discounted weddings.

What a typical package includes
Inclusions vary, but a mid-tier ceremony and reception package at a Cancún all-inclusive usually covers:
- A symbolic ceremony with an officiant, plus a beach, gazebo or garden setup
- Bridal bouquet and boutonniere
- A private dinner or reception for the included guests, often with a set menu and open bar
- A wedding cake and a sparkling wine toast
- Help from the resort’s on-site wedding coordinator
- Perks for the couple, such as a room upgrade or a romantic dinner
What usually costs extra
- Extra guests. Charged per person once you pass the package count, from about $45 to $268 at the resorts above.
- Legal ceremonies. Most packages are symbolic. A legal civil or religious ceremony adds paperwork and fees.
- Outside vendors. Bringing your own photographer or planner often means a resort fee.
- Décor upgrades, entertainment and extra events like a welcome party or rehearsal dinner.
- Day passes for any guests who are not staying at the resort.

How to estimate your total
Start with the package that fits your style, then add the per-guest rate for everyone above the included count. For example, a 60-guest wedding on a $4,599 package that includes 20 guests, with $93 per extra guest, works out to about $4,599 plus 40 × $93, or roughly $8,320 before upgrades. Our wedding cost calculator does this math for any resort, and the resort quiz narrows the list by budget and guest count.

Choosing the right package
- Under 10 guests: a ceremony-only or elopement package keeps costs low, and many start under $1,500.
- 20 to 40 guests: compare the mid-tier ceremony and reception packages, then the extra guest rates.
- 60 guests or more: look closely at free-wedding offers. A big room block can cover much of the package.
- Ceremony on the sand: check each resort’s beach venue capacity and rain plan. Our Cancún beach wedding guide compares them side by side.
- Adults-only: Excellence Playa Mujeres, Secrets Playa Mujeres, Hyatt Vivid Cancún and Atelier Playa Mujeres are adults-only.
