This is the Mexico wedding packages that you all have been waiting for. Mexico remains one of the world’s most-loved destinations for large, all-inclusive weddings: warm turquoise water, reliable flight access from North America, strong resort wedding infrastructure, and excellent value for groups. Below we have gathered five of the best resorts that regularly host 100-guest weddings, summarized typical package offerings (and approximate costs), and provided a clear price & perks comparison table plus practical tips to make a Mexico wedding with 100 guests run smoothly.
Quick Overview: Why these Five?
The resorts below were chosen because they (1) offer dedicated wedding teams and venues that handle groups of about 100 guests, (2) provide scalable wedding packages and on-site event space large enough for seated dinners and receptions, and (3) are repeatedly recommended by wedding specialists and the resorts’ own wedding pages. Each has a distinct personality: ultra-luxury gourmet (Grand Velas), romantic adults-only (Secrets Maroma), resort-scale flexibility and value (Moon Palace), upscale adults-only with elegant venues (Excellence Playa Mujeres), and large-group friendly family resort (Hyatt Ziva Cancun).

What to know & practical tips for a successful Mexico wedding with 100 guests
- Get group room blocks ASAP. Guest rooms often make or break your budget. Negotiate room rates and minimum room-block requirements; many resorts offer complimentary wedding packages or upgrades when a minimum room-night threshold is reached.
- Ask for an itemized RFP for 100 guests. Packages often list a base price for X guests; extra guests, premium liquor, live bands, outside vendors, and late-night snacks add costs. Always get a detailed quote showing per-person meal charges and vendor fees.
- Decide symbolic vs legal ceremony early. Legal weddings require extra paperwork (apostilles, translations, waiting times). Many couples do a legal marriage at home and a symbolic beachfront ceremony in Mexico to simplify logistics.
- Plan multi-day events thoughtfully. For 100 guests you’ll likely have a welcome party and at least one other event (rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch). Coordinate timelines with the resort to avoid vendor or venue conflicts.
- Think guest experience: transport & activities. Arrange airport transfers, shuttle schedules, and a short welcome packet with resort maps and activities. Offer a few group excursions (snorkel trip, catamaran, spa day) it keeps guests engaged and spreads out vendor demand.
- Know vendor policies and outside-vendor fees. Some resorts allow outside photographers and florists but charge an outside vendor fee or have a preferred vendor list. Confirm fees ahead of time to avoid surprise costs.
- Weather & season: The high season (December–April) has the best weather but higher prices. Hurricane season (June–November) offers lower rates but slightly higher risk buy travel insurance for guests and vendors.
How Luxury Vacation Consulting helps
At Luxury Vacation Consulting we handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the creative and emotional parts of planning:
- Request for Proposal (RFP) management: we gather multiple itemized RFPs for your exact 100-guest scenario, compare apples to apples (rooms, food & beverage, vendor fees, gratuities), and surface the best value.
- Contract negotiation: we negotiate room-block minimums, wedding-day credits, vendor fees, and resort concessions to reduce unexpected costs.
- Timeline & vendor coordination: we build a minute-by-minute wedding weekend timeline and manage communications between the resort, caterers, photographers and entertainers so the day flows.
- Guest logistics: group travel coordination (airport transfers, welcome bags, rooming lists and reminders), and an on-site contact so guests feel supported.
- Budget tracking: we keep a running budget sheet and suggest tradeoffs that preserve guest experience without overspending (e.g., invest in photography and don’t overspend on favors).
If you’d like, I can prepare a sample RFP checklist tailored to your preferred resort among these five, and a sample budget breakdown for 100 guests (venues, F&B, décor, photographer, music, officiant, permits). Which venue would you like the RFP for first?
