Survival Guide
Everything you need to know all in one place
Survival Guide
We are officially counting down to the party of a lifetime in beautiful Mérida, Mexico! You know what that means…
Time to get those flights booked, hotels reserved, and tropical jungle fits packed. This getaway is equal parts wedding, vacation, and non-stop fiesta. Here’s everything you need to survive the weekend (and make it out with your passport, dignity, and at least some hydration intact).
Travel & Dates
The main event is Saturday, March 21, 2026, but we’re celebrating Thursday, March 19 through Monday, March 23.
We (Cecille + Ryan) will be there the whole time, so come early, stay late, and make a trip out of it.
Lodging
We’ll be staying at Hotel Hacienda Xcanatun and would love for you to join us there! While there isn’t an official room block, the hotel is currently offering up to 25% off discounted rates. So we highly recommend booking ASAP to lock in the deal. We actually found a better price on Hotels.com when booking through them.
For those looking to splurge, save a little, or spread out with family, Mérida has plenty of other options too from historic haciendas to larger Airbnbs and villas. Reach out to us and/or Touche Wedding Planning for any questions.
Dress Code
It’s a formal wedding, but let’s be real, it’s hot in Mérida. Dress to impress and to stay comfortable.
Think breathable fabrics, chic but breezy
Flat shoes highly encouraged (the grounds are all natural, rocks & grass)
For night out & pool parties bring your best looks.
Color Pallet
No Kids, All Play
We love your little ones, but our wedding is strictly for the Adults. Think tequila shots, cocktails, loud dance floors, and questionable dance moves.
That said, if your kiddos are tagging along to Mérida, our wedding planners at Touché Weddings can help set you up with trusted day care or babysitters.
Hit them up directly for assistance so you can sip, dip, and dance worry-free while the kids have their own fun.
WEATHER
Mérida in March is warm and sunny, with daytime highs around the mid-80s°F (can get in the 90’s) and cooler evenings in the low-70s°F. Pack light, breathable clothing for the day, and something comfortable for the evenings.
Event
The schedule is still being finalized, but here’s what you can expect:
Welcome Party: Kick things off with drinks, music, and lots of hugs
Adventure/Activity Day: Field trips, Cenotes, ruins, tacos for fuel, tequila for courage. Exact chaos TBD. We’ll line up some epic options, but participation is totally optional (and on your own dime).
The Wedding: Saturday, March 21. The reason we’re all here.
Post-Wedding Pool Rehab Party: Because postpartum party is a thing and storytelling and recovery is mandatory
And yes, if you’re coming early or staying late, let’s hang. We’ll be around.
travel & transportation
Please feel free to reach out to Touché Weddings for anything you need or if you like to arrange private transportation.
The Rules (aka Survival Tips)
Hydrate & Sunscreen: The Yucatán sun does not play games. (Day= up to 90 / Night= 65)
Be On Time for Shuttles: We’ll have group transport. If you’re late, Uber is your new best friend.
Bug Spray Is Your Friend: Mosquitos love weddings too.
Uber: Pending where you are going Ubers cost between $4 and $20.
Adventures = Pay Your Own Way: We’ll plan, you’ll join, but some excursions will be at your own expense. Venmo excepted ;)
Speeches: We’ll have a few, but we promise to keep the tears quick so the tequila can keep flowing.
Photography
We’ll have pros snapping the best moments, but we also want your perspective! We’ll set up a shared photo album link so you can dump your pics all weekend.
Stay tuned for the official link.
