Budget snapshot
$8K-$32K estimate
Based on Tulum average ($12K-$45K) for an intimate (under 30) wedding
What drives this estimate
- Guest count: an intimate (under 30) party - more guests means more catering and room nights
- Resort tier: mid properties; all-inclusive vs à la carte swings this the most
- Season: peak months (November) cost more than shoulder season

Legal requirements
Legal ceremony availableSame legal requirements as Cancun: Mexico requires a civil ceremony performed by a licensed judge. You need valid passports, apostilled birth certificates translated to Spanish, and a blood test done in Mexico within 14 days of the ceremony. Four witnesses required. Most Tulum wedding venues work with local civil judges to manage the paperwork.
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
