weddings
This incredibly beautiful hacienda is the ideal setting for a joyful and memorable wedding celebration with family and friends.
Book the 15 rooms at the hacienda and your group will have exclusive use of the wonderful gardens, reception areas and fabulous swimming pool.
The bride and groom can start their married life in the indulgent surroundings of the Master Suite, complete with its private pool and terraces.
And the ceremony itself can take place in the pretty chapel or in the gardens of the estate.
We highly recommend the hacienda's traditional Mayan ceremony, which involves a memorable procession of children from
the village carrying candles as they accompany the bride to the chapel.
