TABLE OF CONTENTS








WHAT TO WEAR

Dress to impress! We're setting the tone for a black and white evening, and we encourage our guests to embrace the theme with all-black or black-and-white attire. Think beach resort elegance!

Ladies: Midi or floor-length dresses are preferred. Please refrain from wearing all white or champagne tones (bridesmaids color). Due to uneven terrain at the venue, we advise against stilettos and recommend chunky block heels, kitten heels, or stylish flats.

Gents: Black suits, blazers, or tuxedos are perfect for the occasion. We recommend breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to ensure your comfort, paired with a classic white or black dress shirt.

Note: Our ceremony location involves a picturesque walk through the beautiful grounds of Xcaret Park. Please keep this in mind when selecting your shoes!

30 DAYS BEFORE ARRIVAL

If you want to book dinner reservations or request park excursions, activities, or tours—email the resort with all your requests (some require reservations and some do not). Spa reservations (additional cost $) can also be made 30 days out and spots fill quickly.
