Destination #1: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
One of the most well-known destinations for welcoming LGBTQIA+ weddings is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! This dreamy paradise offers many all-inclusive options, countless beaches, and stunning backdrops to make your big day even more special. We’re particularly excited about this location because it provides a welcoming and safe environment, along with luxurious options for your wedding. You can expect everything here—from beach bars to a bustling city with shopping, and delicious treats.
You will also find some recognizable resort brands in Puerto Vallarta for your big day, such as Hard Rock, Hyatt, Dreams, and the new Unico Resort.
Destination #2: Cabo, Mexico
This region comprises two resort cities on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula that are fun, luxurious, and tropical, and offer some very enticing LGBTQIA+ destination wedding experiences. Most people have heard of Cabo, but many don’t truly know how amazing it is. Crystal blue waters crash against white sand beaches, juxtaposed against eye-catching resorts and natural features. From outdoor restaurants to fun and lively bar scenes, there’s a little bit of something for every type of traveler here in Cabo! With entertainment available at the many resorts here, you’ll be whisked away to pure luxury as you enjoy your celebration of love with all of your favorite people. No matter where you stay in Cabo, we highly recommend seeing El Arco, a natural archway in the sea cliffs of Cabo. It’s a romantic experience complemented by amazing views.
In Cabo, there are recognizable resort brands too—Dreams, Hard Rock, Le Blanc, and Grand Velas. That’ll have you thinking about a wedding in Cabo the right way!
Destination #3: Cancun, Mexico
If there’s one thing most people know about Cancun, it’s that it’s party-central. Well, that’s true, but for our purposes today, it’s also a great place to hold your LGBTQIA+ destination wedding! Tap into a thriving party culture that welcomes all travelers to relax, unwind, and indulge in some luxury treatment. Also, in Mexico, you can count on sun and good vibes to accompany your ceremony, along with beautiful options throughout the many all-inclusive resorts that call Cancun home. The nightlife is bustling, and you’ll have plenty of choices for as much beach time as your heart desires! The Zona Hotelera region is also unique, as it’s a long beachfront strip of nightclubs, hotels, and restaurants—it almost feels like a different world! You’ll spend your wedding trip playing in the turquoise waters and find yourself partying like an expert in the evenings. Cancun is fun and is a perfect match for more lively and party-focused couples!
Cancun is famous for its resorts, and there are some top-class places that are waiting on you. Some of our favorites are the Grand Fiesta Americana, Hyatt Ziva Cancun, and many more (call us for the full list).
Destination #4: Curaçao, Southern Caribbean
One of the most true-to-form tropical islands you could visit in the Caribbean for your destination wedding is Curaçao, which is world-renowned for its beaches that are tucked away into coves and abundant marine life and vivid coral reefs. The island itself touts a ‘no better time than now’ motto and offers an escape that allows you to rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit while you start forever together. It’s a one-of-a-kind haven of pastelle and history rich architecture and never comes up short in the unforgettable experiences department. You will go from swimming with sea turtles to absorbing 360° views of this beautiful island, and of course your big day will be a magical experience that checks all the right boxes!
When you plan to bask in tropical harmony in Curaçao, we highly recommend both Zoëtry Curacao Resort & Spa and Sandals Curaçao. These two all-inclusives will add that taste of luxury your island destination wedding deserves.
