Planning a destination wedding in mexico is easier than you thought
Does the idea of a destination wedding weekend with all of your favorite people sound like a dream, but the thought of planning it sounds more like a nightmare? Babe, that’s cuz you’re doing it wrong! The trick is to choose a venue where you (AND YOUR GUESTS AND/OR WEDDING PARTY) can stay on-site. You want a cool destination that your friends and family would actually want to go to for vacation, plus it has to have great bones so that you can keep decor stressors to a minimum. Well, we’ve found just the place—Hacienda Sac Chich in Mexico!
This historic Yucatán Hacienda blends 19th-century architecture with modern design elements, so it can fit with just about any wedding design, from minimalist to whimsical and everything in between. This award-winning wedding venue specializes in destination weddings, so they know all of the tricks to help things go smoothly while you plan from afar. Instead of selling one-size-fits-all cookie-cutter weddings, they have an incredible list of recommended vendors and are more than happy to walk you through choosing the right ones for your vision and budget! Their team is also experienced in hosting LGBTQ+ weddings, multicultural couples, and international guests, so rest easy knowing that you will be in good hands with a staff that is welcoming, inclusive, and flexible.
Plus, there are multiple event spaces: The Loggia, The Great Lawn, The Firefly Lawn, The Pool Garden, and Arch—so no two weddings are alike. Heck, you can even use a different space for every event in your wedding weekend, from the welcome party and rehearsal dinner right up until the farewell brunch. In addition to these gorgeous event spaces, Hacienda Sac Chich is home to lush tropical gardens and dramatic backdrops such as the 85-foot chimney, lily pond, and minimalist Casa Sisal.
stay and play
Hacienda Sac Chich has accommodations on-site for up to 21 guests, creating an immersive wedding weekend experience. And this is huge; it’s completely private! That means when you book it, the entire hacienda is yours! No awkward run-ins with randos while you’re frolicking around in your bridal robe. The hacienda is conveniently located near Mérida in the Yucatán (one of the safest regions in Mexico), with access to vibrant culture, cenotes, and Mayan history, so there are plenty of opportunities for you and your guests to explore and take in the sites during the downtime.

“We had the most incredible wedding weekend at Hacienda Sac Chich. There are not enough positive things we can say! Jillian was amazing to work with—from our first tour, through to day of support, she was an amazing resource and sounding board for our big (and small) decisions. Having our wedding party stay at Sac Chich was wonderful for guests, too. They left really understanding the magic of Mérida and a place so special to us both. It was the perfect venue that allowed us to spend quality time with the people we love and customize our wedding exactly as we wished. There were so many thoughtful touches—lawn games, a taco truck, margs, and more! We can’t wait to celebrate an anniversary here many years from now.”
