In the southeast of Mexico, bathed by the clear blue waters of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, lies the peninsula of Yucatán, where the great Mayan culture once flourished amidst tropical forests. At a 45 minutes drive from the international airport of Mérida, the state capital, and 2½ hours drive by car from Cancun, lies Hacienda San Jose Cholul.

The Haciendas have the idyllic wedding venue. Large gardens, the old machine room and the natural surroundings for their backdrop, are the ideal design for weddings and other events. With luxurious accommodations, facilities and amenities for guests, the haciendas are a totally different and unique alternative for a wedding venue.

After the first contact with our staff, who will provide you all possible help to make this an extraordinary experience, the magic landscape of the Hacienda, the friendly staff and the relaxing atmosphere, you will have enough reasons to choose the haciendas as the perfect place for your wedding. Each Wedding is taylor-made to suit the groom and bride needs and expectations. Our staff is highly experienced on catering and planning.

Services arranged by The Haciendas: Music, video and photography, printed itinerary and floral arrangements, organization of day trips for participants.

Requirements for a legal civil ceremony with a Mexican judge: birth certificates, blood test done in Merida (max. 15 days prior to wedding) and Visa (Tourist Card) you receive upon entering Mexico. (Note: For a legal wedding which is also recognized in the United States and Canada there can be no exceptions in these requirements.)
