Tulum has become one of the most sought-after places for destination weddings in Mexico. With its mystical cenotes, white-sand beaches, and rich cultural traditions, couples from all over the world are choosing it as the perfect backdrop for their big day.


This was the case for a beautiful couple who traveled from Poland (Elisa & Mateusz) to celebrate their destination wedding in a cave near Tulum. Their union combined two unforgettable experiences: a deeply spiritual Mayan ceremony in a cenote and a heartfelt civil wedding.


Mayan Wedding Ceremony in a Cenote


A Mayan wedding in Tulum is more than just a ritual—it’s a spiritual journey. Inside the cave, surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites, the couple exchanged vows guided by a Mayan shaman. The sacred cenote water reflected the candlelight, creating a magical and almost surreal atmosphere.


The ritual included ancestral prayers, blessings, and the sound of traditional instruments, while the couple stood under a round gazebo decorated with candles. The bride’s purple bouquet brought a vibrant pop of color against the natural tones of the cave.

Civil Wedding in Tulum: Official and Legal


After the spiritual celebration, the couple made their marriage official with a civil wedding ceremony in Mexico. Photographs captured the exact moment they signed the legal documents and placed their fingerprints—symbols of their unique love story.


We also took care of the apostille process so their marriage could be legally registered back in Poland without any issues.
