Tulum Wedding Venues: Honest Reviews by Hitched Away

Dreaming of a destination wedding that’s anything but ordinary? Join me as I spill the real tea on Tulum’s hottest venues, share my sushi mishaps, and dish on all the ways you can make your wedding truly unforgettable—no cookie-cutter ceremonies here! 👇

In November 2024, I took a whirlwind trip to Tulum, Mexico—all in the name of delivering honest, first-hand wedding venue reviews just for you! If you haven’t already, go ahead and press play on the video above—consider this your passport to sunshine, stunning setups, and a little dash of my signature cheeky commentary.

Why Tulum? Why Now?

So, Tulum is having a moment in the destination wedding world. It’s not just about gorgeous beaches, it’s about vibrant culture, spectacular resorts, and standout experiences that go beyond the “toe-sand-wedding” cliché.

And with easy access from the US (shout out to my chilly East Coast folks who need a break!), Tulum checks a lot of boxes.

The Venues: Real Feedback, No Filter

On this trip, Hilton Tulum All-Inclusive was my home base. Spoiler alert: it scored a 2.5/5 on my super-official ‘Would I Host My Own Wedding Here?' scale. The vibes were nice, but other venues stole my heart.

First up: Secrets Akumal. Picture lush gardens, swoon-worthy ceremony settings, and food I’m still thinking about (if you know, you know). There’s something magical about these grounds—your guests will feel transported, and your photos will thank you!

Then came Palladium White Sand, where I got to witness a mock wedding (yes, including a beautiful same-sex couple—Tulum’s inclusivity wins big points from me!). The nighttime setup? Absolute romance, with dazzling lights and dancers who brought the fiesta.

But wait—there’s more! UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya had me at airy modern vibes and a popsicle welcome, plus options for private spaces that deliver both style and comfort. Your wedding doesn’t have to be on the beach, friends. Think tropical chic, but make it easy on your heels. You can have the best of both worlds!

Pro Tips & Takeaways

Don’t just trust resort websites; a site visit (or, at least, my video!) is gold for honest perspectives.
Mexico is welcoming to all couples (big love to the LGBTQ+ community!).
Want to wow your guests? Consider fun food stations, interactive experiences, and entertainment—these are the moments everyone remembers.
It’s totally possible to create a unique, personalized wedding in Tulum for less than you’d pay at home—with way more wow factor.

So whether you’re ready to tie the knot, renew your vows, or just want to daydream about a Tulum escape, I’m here to help you make it real.

Watch the video for all the juicy details, candid reviews, and some bonus footage of me taste-testing sushi (spoiler: cream cheese belongs in sushi, who knew?!).

Until next time, keep dreaming big and planning boldly.
