Weddings at Impression Moxché – An Intimate Riviera Maya Experience
The Mayan Riviera boasts one of Mexico’s most beautiful settings, making it one of the most popular wedding destinations for international couples. Riviera Maya is incredibly versatile in its ability to cater to weddings of any size and standard, ranging from casual elopements to high-end events for hundreds of guests. While some couples may gravitate toward sprawling resorts, those who resonate with the luxury and sophistication of a more boutique setting are sure to fall in love with one property in particular: Impression Moxché by Secrets. With a world-class team that includes dedicated wedding planners, weddings at Impression Moxché are customized to the highest level, ensuring a bespoke and beautifully curated wedding experience.
An Intimate Setting
Thanks to its boutique size, Impression Moxché specializes in offering an intimate setting for Riviera Maya weddings that exudes luxury and attention to detail.
“Our property is versatile, providing the perfect backdrop for various wedding styles, from elegant, timeless ceremonies to beachy, bohemian celebrations,” explains Mandy Baca, Senior Marketing Manager at Impression by Secrets. “The lush Riviera Maya surroundings, coupled with our sophisticated design, lend themselves beautifully to any couple's vision, whether they're looking for a romantic beachside affair or a more refined, classic wedding.”
In terms of capacity, Impression Moxché can accommodate up to 80 wedding guests, making it an idyllic location for a property buyout. With many couples wanting to offer their guests a private, VIP-style destination wedding experience, it’s becoming more common to book out entire boutique hotels for the ultimate “wedding-meets-vacation” getaway.
Wedding and Event Spaces at Impression Moxché
There are several gorgeous locations and spaces at Impression Moxché from which couples and their planners may choose. For a seamless wedding day and optimal flow between events, Mandy recommends hosting the wedding ceremony on the beach for a breezy, romantic feel, or the Teodoro terrace for a more elegant and secluded vibe. Both offer incredible views of the Caribbean Sea.
“Following the ceremony,” says Mandy, “guests can enjoy a sophisticated cocktail hour at our rooftop lounge, which provides panoramic ocean views and a chic ambiance. The reception can then move to our grand ballroom, which is perfect for an elegant dinner and dancing. For a more casual atmosphere, we could celebrate the reception at the beach or any of our open rooftops. For an after-party, our Speakeasy offers the ideal spot to continue the celebrations into the night, complete with a DJ, and nightclub-style atmosphere.”
While planning a destination wedding can seem daunting, Impression Moxché couples have the opportunity to work with the in-house wedding planning team, who are ready to handle all the logistics.
“From the moment they begin the planning process,” Mandy adds, “our team is dedicated to bringing their vision to life. We offer customized planning services, taking care of every detail, from venue selection to décor, catering, and entertainment. Our planners are experts in curating luxurious, tailor-made weddings that reflect the couple's unique style and preferences, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable planning journey.”
Curating an Authentic Riviera Maya Experience
Arguably one of the most important details to consider for destination weddings, is incorporating details that give guests a sense of place – especially when they’re traveling to bucket list travel destinations like the Mayan Riviera. One way for couples to curate an authentic Riviera Maya experience for their guests is by incorporating local flavors and traditions into their wedding menu and itinerary.
“Signature cocktails like margaritas made with top-shelf tequila, or a traditional mezcal tasting, can add a unique touch,” Mandy suggests. “For the menu, our culinary team can create dishes inspired by regional cuisine, such as ceviche, cochinita pibil, or fresh seafood. Entertainment options might include live performances from local musicians or dancers, or even a Mayan shaman blessing to begin the ceremony, providing a memorable and culturally rich experience for both the couple and their guests.”
Unique Riviera Maya experiences can also be enjoyed throughout the wedding weekend, and Mandy recommends couples including a variety of activities that can be arranged by Impression Moxché’s 24-hour concierge service. On-property, for example, guests can indulge in world-class spa treatments, join a guided yoga session, or relax at one of the hotel’s exclusive pools.
For those who want to venture beyond Impression Moxché, a day trip to the nearby Tulum ruins is a favorite amongst visitors. A cenote tour is practically a “must” when visiting Riviera Maya – especially for freedivers and scuba divers – and a catamaran cruise along the coast is always a crowd-pleaser.
This region of Mexico has such a wealth of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery; having the chance to soak it in while relaxing in an intimate setting like Impression Moxché is truly what makes the destination wedding experience so special.
