Tulum’s Seasons and Weather
Tulum enjoys privileged weather year-round, but each season offers a unique atmosphere for your celebration.

November to April: Sunny days and cool nights, perfect for sunset ceremonies and dinners under the stars. This is the most popular season.

May to October: Lush green surroundings thanks to occasional rain. These months offer more intimate and customized weddings, with beautiful natural light for photos.

Our team can help you plan every detail according to the season you choose, so everything flows just as you dreamed.

Symbolic Wedding vs Legal Wedding
Many couples choose to have a legal wedding in their home country and a symbolic ceremony on the beach. This reduces legal paperwork and allows more focus on the emotional experience.
