Why have a Mexican Hacienda Wedding?

Love unique, off the beaten track, boutique destinations? Want to feel like you’re in a movie? Feel the passage of time, romance, history and culture? Mexican hacienda weddings are all of the above. They’re incredibly stylish and surprisingly adaptable!

Hacienda weddings look amazing even before adding decor. If you want to splurge they’re stunning with everything from black tie to boho-chic. Some recent renovations fuse contemporary architecture with the ancient structures so even city-slickers will feel at home. Mexican Haciendas magically morph around your concept and provide the most amazing setting for a truly unique wedding experience.

Haciendas also offer a range of wedding ceremony and reception venues. Gardens, stunning indoor spaces even lakes and waterfalls feature. Onsite chapels are another bonus for couples looking to celebrate religious and Catholic wedding ceremonies.

The draw of many Haciendas is that your whole wedding group can stay on-site. In many cases you can even have a buy-out where you and your group have the whole property to yourselves!

Finally there is really no quantifying the authentic charm of both the venues themselves and the people and cultures that are part of them. Mexican hospitality is well known – take a step off of the tourist trail and see for yourself.

Del Sol Photography is available for boutique photo and video services in Haciendas all across Mexico. Our sister company Del Sol Travels is also a full-service Travel Agency and can handle bookings and flights. We have first hand experience of the venues, loads of inspirational photos to help you imagine your day and we LOVE to help you plan!

Mexican Hacienda Wedding Photography

Let’s be frank – being a Hacienda wedding photographer is pretty awesome. Colors, textures, stunning architecture and ancient gardens, not to mention the personalized details of the venue make us very happy people :)

We HIGHLY recommend planning an additional photo-session or trash the dress type experience to explore the surrounding area. Between what mother nature and the historical cities have to offer there are many opportunities to create amazing art i ages and have an amazing time doing it. Check out Jacquie and Matt’s Campeche Hacienda elopement for inspiration.

Choosing a Mexican Hacienda Wedding Venue

The charm of the Mexican Haciendas is that every one is unique. Consider your personal style and needs when choosing your wedding venue. Some are great for elopements and small groups wheras others come into there own for BIG 100+ guest weddings.

Style wise each Hacienda has it’s charm and there are some unexpected and delightful choices. Hacienda Uayamon embraces it’s 300 year old ruins – swimming pools nestle between crumbling walls while the chapel, is also “ruined” allowing you to be married in church and under the sky.

Merida Yucatán Hacienda Wedding Venues

Merida is known as one of the safest and friendliest cites in Mexico! The city is stuffed with colorful, colonial architecture. Even though it’s somewhat on the tourist trail, Merida maintains an authentic Mexican vibe. Nearby ruins to visit include world-famous Chichen Itza, a New Wonder of the World, and beautiful Uxmal.

A quick flight or transfer from Cancun make Merida Hacienda wedding venues an attractive and accesible option. The extra jump from the Riviera Maya is well worth it to avoid spring-breakers, “Tulum-inati” and kids in waterwings!

Chable Yucatán Weddings

Chable is a true one of a kind. It’s an ode to juxtaposition, contrasting the sweeping grounds and delightfully dilapidated hacienda with sleek elegance and minamalist, contemporary architecture. The result is a visual tour de force. The theme continues with traditional Yucatan food presented in the most elegant way while spa treatments draw from the indiginous Mayan culture of the area.

Chablé Yucatán was awarded the international architectural prize “Prix Versailles” in 2017 – chosen as the Best Hotel in the World

Hacienda Teya Weddings

Just 15 minutes drive from Merida is the beautiful Hacienda Teya. The hacienda was founded in 1683 and has been renovated in the last years to cater to weddings and events. The property has been restored in a traditional style, but has unexpected twists like a glamourous indoor swimming pool that is available as a wedding venue! Hacienda Teya can accomodate BIG weddings, the main salon seating up to 260 guests.

Sotuta de Peón Weddings

Built in the late 1800’s, Sotuta de Peón is a “living Hacienda,” lovingly restored to give a real glimpse back in time. The hacienda demonsrates the whole transformation of the Henequen – the green gold that brought fortune to the Yucatan when the world used rope made of hemp.

Sotuta de Peón has a consecrated Catholic chapel that seats up to 60 guests. They also specalize in Mayan weddings that can be carried out in the garden or cenote. The hacienda offers onsite accomodation in traditional thatched cabins decorated in hacienda style. Don’t forget a photo on the mule truks!

Campeche Hacienda Wedding Venues

Campeche is THE picture perfect colonial city. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site and an example of baroque colonial architecture. The colorful buildings of the walled city are gorgeous and Campeche is also close to several important ruins, Calakmul is a fave for those who like to explore off the beaten track.

Campeche is home to many haciendas. We’ve been lucky enough to visit Hacienda Uayamon several times – check out the real Hacienda weddings below for more inspiration.

Hacienda Uayamon Weddings

A colonial property built in 1700, Hacienda Uayamon oozes atmosphere. The venue combines a rustic, antique beauty with luxurious service and accommodation.

Hacienda Uayamon hits the sweet spot between embracing the ravages of time and keeping the jungle at bay. The grounds look like a movie set or a painting – magical.

The Hacienda Uayamon’s ruined chapel were the unique and mystical location for Jackie and Matt’s Mayan wedding ceremony. Jackie and Matt also planned a second day of photos with Sol to explore the center of Campeche which included walking the city walls and stopping by a cantina for drinks and dancing.

“We chose Hacienda Uayamon becaue we were looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding experience that satisfied our wanderlust. We thought Mexico would offer elements similar to the very best of our Asia experiences: amazing food and people, a rich history, beautiful ruins and so on… it certainly delivered all of this and more! Matt and I wanted our wedding to be a little different to the many beach weddings we’d seen, we wanted it to have the same relaxed feel, but in a private romantic setting surrounded dense green foliage and history! Similar to a beautifully romantic picnic we had experienced at the ruin of Angkor Watt in Cambodia.” – Jacquie

Morelos Hacienda Wedding Venues

Morelos is known as the state of the “eternal spring” because of it’s wonderful climate! It’s also home to some of the first colonial churches in Mexico. Natural beauty abounds too. Tepoztlán and the Cerre de Tepozteco are known for beautiful landscapes and cultural importance. If you’re more into streetlife the markets of Tepoztlán center are definatly worth exploring.

The state is also home to a multitude of Haciendas that make amazing destination wedding venues. Added to that getting to Morelos is a breeze from Mexico city.

Quinta Rubelinas Weddings

Less than an hour from Mexico City is the beautiful Quinta Rubelinas in Cuernavaca. These guys have been in the wedding biz for over 18 years. The star of the show is a consecrated chapel that seats up to 300 guests. The property also has waterfalls (!) and a gazebo overlooking the lake that they use for civil ceremonies.
