What languages do we speak?
We speak, English, French and Spanish. Our spiritual minister
speaks also German.
What paperwork do I need to get legally married (civil)
in Mexico?
1. Certified copies of both parties’ birth certificates (with
Official Apositille Seal)
2. Translations of the birth certificates into Spanish (must be
done by a certified translator) with the translator’s stamp and
Apositille Seal.
3. Originals and copies of both parties’ passports.
4. Originals and copies of your tourist cards (you will receive
these during your incoming flight).
5. Four witnesses with copied and original passports and a copy
of their tourist cards (if needed, we can provide witnesses for
you).
6. Payment to City Hall of the civil wedding fees (can be paid
just before the wedding).
7. Blood test for both parties (can be obtained in your country
or on the island when you get here).
8. Wedding request form.
What’s an Apositille Seal?
All documents issued in one country that are going to be used in
another must be certified. The type of certification that is
required in Mexico is called the Apostille Seal. To get this
seal contact the government office that issued your birth
certificate and they will direct you to the correct department.
What is the difference between a legal (civil) marriage
and spiritual ceremony?
A legally binding marriage in Mexico must take place before a
Judge. The spiritual ceremonies provided by Papillon Weddings
are not legally recognized but are rather designed to allow
couple to express themselves in non-traditional ways. If you
want to be legally married and have a spiritual ceremony this
can be easily arranged.
How many days do we have to be there before a civil
wedding.
In order to get the necessary paperwork done before a civil
wedding you must be on site at least 3 days in advance.
How many days do we have to be there before a spiritual
wedding?
There’s no paperwork to do in this case, but we suggest that you
arrive two days before so you have time to relax and get a bit
of pampering before the big event!.
Are gay and lesbian marriages legal in Mexico?
The short answer is no. However, since our spiritual ceremonies
are not legal in nature, they are open to gays, lesbians and
straights alike! Gay and lesbian marriages while not legal in
Mexico can, like all our ceremonies, carry the spiritual weight
many couples are looking for.

Can we choose where to have our ceremony and reception?

and throughout the Mayan Riviera to make your wedding day the
romantic and intimate experience you have always dreamed of.

are free to have your wedding where you want it and the way you
want it.
How do I get to Isla Mujeres and the Mayan Rivera?
Both locations can be easily reached by flying first to Cancun.
From there it is a 1-3 hours drive by land to a variety of

15-minute ferry ride.
