Ceremony Types

Whether you’re opting for legal or symbolic, religious or non-denominational (or a cultural Mayan ceremony), we’ve got you covered. Our team will make sure your ceremony is extra special and legally binding if you choose. Ceremonies can be performed in Spanish or English.

Symbolic Ceremony

Default ceremony type included in wedding packages.

Officiated by a minister of peace for up to 25 minutes.

Symbolic weddings are neither legal nor recognized by the Secretary of State or by the Vatican. They can be performed by a provided celebrant, or by a party of your selection. Your choice of officiant/celebrant must be confirmed at time of booking and is subject to availability. For symbolic ceremonies, it is necessary for the wedding couple to arrive two full business days before the wedding date.

Legal weddings are officiated by a Justice of the Peace from Mexico and are legally recognized everywhere. Oasis is proud to offer same-sex weddings that can be performed with a legal or symbolic ceremony.

The Legal Ceremony includes legal paperwork with a legal marriage certificate issued by the Mexican law, prenuptial blood tests, medical certificate, proof of no child support debtors, and judge’s fees. It does not include double assembly; the ceremony must take place in the same location of the symbolic ceremony, or in case it is the only ceremony, with the setup and location included in the package. The blood test must be done in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
