Frequently Asked Questions
How many beach wedding venues are there in Mexico?
DreamWed works with 72 beach wedding venues across 44 resorts in Mexico. Capacities run from 40 to 600 guests, so there are options for both small ceremonies and large multi-day celebrations.
What is the largest beach wedding venue in Mexico?
The largest in our portfolio seats up to 600 guests. Capacity figures are the resort's stated maximum for a seated event — the workable number is usually lower once you add a dance floor, staging or buffet, so confirm the layout with us before you commit to a guest list.
Can we hold both the ceremony and reception at the same venue?
Often yes, though most couples move between spaces — a beach setting for the ceremony, then a separate space for dinner and dancing. Resorts usually allow a turnover if the guest count fits both. We plan the flow so guests are never left waiting.
What happens if it rains?
Every resort holds an indoor backup, normally a ballroom, and calls it a few hours ahead based on the forecast. Ask what the backup space actually is before booking — it varies a lot in quality between properties, and it is the single most useful question you can ask about an outdoor venue.
