Due to its proximity to Merida, Celestun is one of the favorite beaches for couples to perform their ceremony and is also considered the cradle of ecotourism in Mexico. You can also enjoy the protected natural reserve where one of the largest colonies of flamingos lives.
If you have already decided to get married on Yucatan beaches, you should know that you need to present the following documents: tourist card, original and copy of the official identification of the bride and groom, original and copy of the birth certificates translated into Spanish, medical prenuptial analysis, the passport of the bride and groom and original and copy of the official identification of two witnesses; as well as covering the corresponding municipal delegate rights and filling out the marriage pre-application form.

But don’t get too stressed, the procedure can be done by your wedding planner, just make sure you send him/her all the correct documents in time, isn’t that great?
