Wedding Packages at Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen (What They Typically Include)

Most all-inclusive destination weddings at Secrets resorts run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Secrets of Love, Alfresco Romance, and Simply Sublime) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.

Common inclusions (base tiers)

  • On-site wedding coordination + planning support
  • Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
  • Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
  • Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
  • Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Secrets Moxché, venue selection matters as much as décor—choose the location that naturally matches your vibe (beachfront-romantic vs. rooftop-chic vs. jungle-inspired) so you don't "buy the vibe" with upgrades.

Upgrades couples actually use

  • Reception: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night snacks
  • Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
  • Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
  • Entertainment: specialty performers, mariachi, live music
  • Photography/video, hair & makeup, spa services
Planning shortcut: Build your day around light and comfort—sunset ceremonies work beautifully on the rooftop or beach, while the ballroom is the safest late-night reception option in hotter or rainier months.
