How Does a Wedding at Las Brisas Huatulco Work?

 

Planning a wedding at Las Brisas Huatulco typically involves:

Contacting the Resort Wedding Department: Reaching out to Las Brisas Huatulco’s dedicated wedding or romance department to inquire about available dates and discuss their wedding package options.

Choosing a Wedding Package: Selecting from the resort’s pre-designed wedding packages, which bundle venue space for ceremony/reception in designated areas (beach coves, terraces), in-house catering (food from resort restaurants, banquet menus), in-house bar (all-inclusive beverages), basic decor elements, a wedding cake, and the services of a resort wedding coordinator. Packages vary in inclusions and price, often based on guest count.

Working with the Resort Wedding Coordinator: Collaborating with the resort’s assigned wedding coordinator on all package inclusions: selecting ceremony/reception locations on the property (choosing among different beaches or terraces), choosing menu options from their offerings, discussing basic setup and decor provided in the package, and managing the wedding day timeline for resort services. Their role is focused on executing the details covered by the resort package within the property.

Hiring an External Planner (Highly Recommended for Customization & Logistics): While the resort provides a coordinator, an external planner is highly recommended, often essential, especially for destination weddings and couples seeking significant personalization or managing events outside the resort. They help with overall event design vision, sourcing and coordinating *any* external vendors allowed by the resort (e.g., specific photographer/videographer, specialized decor/rentals, unique entertainment), creating detailed timelines that integrate resort services and external elements across the expansive property, and managing guest logistics beyond the resort (e.g., welcome event at a separate restaurant, off-site excursions, coordinating movement within the large resort). Note that resorts often have restrictions and fees for outside vendors.

Guest Accommodation: Guests are typically required to book rooms within a group block directly with Las Brisas Huatulco as part of the all-inclusive wedding experience. This simplifies accommodation logistics for the couple and ensures guests have access to all resort amenities throughout their stay. Minimum room night stays might be required or offer perks for the couple.

Vendor Selection & Coordination: While some vendors are included in packages (catering, basic decor, potentially DJ/music), external vendors (photographer, videographer, specific florist for custom design, specialized rentals, high-end entertainment) must comply with resort policies, which may include “vendor fees” or restrictions. Your external planner manages these relationships and ensures they adhere to resort rules and timing.

The process is highly integrated with the resort’s bundled packages and services, providing convenience and simplifying core logistics, with personalization achieved through external vendors and an essential external planner, particularly important for navigating the large property.

 

Best Months to Get Married

 

Huatulco is known for its pleasant tropical climate year-round, but the dry season offers the most consistently sunny weather for beachfront or outdoor resort weddings. The dry season typically runs from late October/early November through May, with the most popular months being November to April. The rainy season (June-October) features hotter, more humid weather with potential for afternoon/evening showers, but resort venues like Las Brisas Huatulco have established backup plans (covered terraces, indoor salons) to ensure events can proceed smoothly regardless of weather.

 

The Basics of Wedding Planning (All-Inclusive Resort Model)

 

Las Brisas Huatulco operates on an All-Inclusive Wedding Package + Room Rate model:

Wedding Packages: Wedding bookings are structured around resort packages that bundle venue use for specific events (ceremony, cocktail, reception), in-house food and beverage from the resort’s kitchens and bars, basic setup and decor elements (chairs for ceremony, reception tables/chairs, standard linens, basic centerpieces), a wedding cake, and the services of a resort wedding coordinator. Packages are priced per person and often have minimum guest counts or minimum room night requirements to qualify for certain benefits or complimentary packages.

All-Inclusive Room Rates: Guests attending the wedding are typically required to book their accommodation within the designated room block at Las Brisas Huatulco at the resort’s all-inclusive rate. This rate covers their room, all meals and snacks at the resort restaurants (excluding specialty options or private dining), all beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) at resort bars, access to pools and beaches, and most resort activities and entertainment. The wedding package cost is *in addition* to the guests’ all-inclusive room rate.

Building the Event: While the resort package provides the core elements, couples (via their planner) can customize and elevate the event by adding premium items or bringing in *approved* external vendors for specialized services not offered or to a higher standard than the resort package includes (e.g., upgraded decor, specialty rentals, high-end florals, advanced AV, specific live entertainment, preferred photographer/videographer). These add-ons incur additional costs, and external vendors may be subject to resort fees.

Additional Costs (Beyond Package & Guest Rooms): Costs exceeding the wedding package inclusions (e.g., higher guest count than package minimum, upgraded menu/bar), fees for *any* outside vendors (including photographer/videographer), rentals/decor/florals beyond package inclusions, external planner fees (highly recommended), optional private events (welcome party, brunch – can be at resort or off-site), permits, insurance (if required), personalized favors, officiant (if not arranged through package), legal fees (for civil ceremony), guest travel (flights, airport transfers).

This structure provides convenience and cost predictability for guests (their room rate includes everything), while the couple manages the wedding package cost and any external vendor expenses for personalization.

  • The couple typically pays for:
    • The Las Brisas Huatulco wedding package cost (covering event venue space, in-house event F&B/staffing, basic decor, basic cake, resort wedding coordinator).
    • Costs for *any* items or services *not* included or upgraded beyond the wedding package (e.g., premium decor, specialty florals, enhanced AV, specific entertainment, unique rentals).
    • Fees for *approved* outside vendors (e.g., potentially a resort fee for outside photographer/videographer).
    • External Wedding Planner fees (highly recommended).
    • Their own travel and all-inclusive accommodation.
    • Optional hosted events outside the package (e.g., private welcome dinner/brunch at the resort or off-site).
    • Personal items.
  • Guests typically pay for:
    • Their flights to Huatulco (HUX).

    • Airport transfers to/from the resort (approx. 20-30 minutes).
    • Any food & beverage consumed *outside* of the hosted wedding events and the standard all-inclusive offerings (e.g., specialty restaurant surcharges if applicable, private dining).
    • Optional extras (spa treatments, premium liquor upgrades beyond package, tours/excursions booked through the resort or externally).
    • Wedding gifts.

Venue Capacity and Guest Accommodations (Resort Venue)

 

Las Brisas Huatulco offers extensive and varied space suitable for medium to very large-sized weddings:

Event Capacity: Comfortably hosts medium to very large-sized weddings (e.g., 100 – 300+ guests), utilizing its multiple private beach coves, numerous garden/poolside terraces, and large indoor ballrooms. The resort’s expansive property offers diverse potential locations for each wedding event (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) to accommodate different guest counts and preferences, providing distinct backdrops like serene coves or lively main beaches.

Event Locations: Beautiful and versatile options typically include:

Private Beach Coves: Offering secluded or semi-private areas directly on the sand for ceremonies and/or receptions, each with a unique feel (calm waters vs. waves).

Main Beach / Oceanfront: Areas on the resort’s main beachfront, suitable for larger ceremonies or events.

Terraces: Outdoor or semi-covered areas overlooking the pools, gardens, or ocean, suitable for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or receptions.

Ballrooms / Salons: Large indoor, air-conditioned spaces available for reception dinner and dancing, and crucial as a backup plan.

Accommodations: As a large all-inclusive resort, Las Brisas Huatulco offers a significant number of on-site guest rooms and suites. Guests are typically required to book their stay here as part of the wedding group, making it extremely convenient for all attendees to be housed at the wedding location, simplifying logistics significantly and providing a full resort experience.

 

Ceremony and Reception Logistics (Resort Layout)

 

Logistics at Las Brisas Huatulco are unique due to its extensive property spread across multiple bays, requiring careful planning for guest and vendor movement:

Venue Navigation: Las Brisas’s layout is spread across a large area with hills, connecting different beaches, pools, and main buildings. Planning guest movement between event locations (e.g., ceremony on a secluded cove, cocktail hour by a pool, reception in a ballroom or large terrace) is managed by the resort wedding coordinator and your external planner. This often involves walking distances, pathways, or potentially resort shuttles (verify availability/necessity). Clear signage and guest guidance are important due to the size of the property and distinct areas.

Vendor Access: Coordinated by the resort wedding coordinator and your external planner. Resorts have standard loading docks and designated setup times for internal and approved external vendors, managed to minimize disruption to other guests across the large property. Access to specific beach coves may have unique requirements.

Setup: Resort staff handle setup of all package-included items (tables, chairs, basic decor, catering setup). External vendors manage their specific setups (specialty decor, advanced sound/lighting, florals). The resort coordinator and external planner work together for cohesive setup across the diverse property locations.

Transportation: Highly convenient once guests arrive at the resort. Guests arrange standard airport transfers (HUX) to Las Brisas Huatulco (approx. 20-30 minutes). While events are on-site, movement *within* the large resort may involve significant walking depending on chosen locations. Optional internal resort shuttles or arranging specific guest transport (e.g., for elderly guests) might be necessary between bays/areas. For off-site activities or welcome events, external transport would be arranged.

Proximity to Airport: Convenient access to Huatulco International Airport (HUX) via taxi or private transfer (approx. 20-30 minutes).

 

What’s Included in Resort Wedding Packages?

 

Inclusions with a Las Brisas Huatulco wedding package are typically comprehensive due to the all-inclusive nature and integrated services:

  • Exclusive use of contracted event areas within the resort (e.g., specific Beach Cove, Terrace, Ballroom) for the agreed-upon time.
  • In-house catering: the chosen food menu (often buffet or plated options) and beverage package (premium or domestic alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) from the resort’s offerings.

Obtain a detailed Las Brisas Huatulco wedding package contract specifying exactly what is included, per-person costs, minimum spends, room block requirements, timing restrictions, rules for external vendors, and any applicable fees.

 

Backup Plan for Outdoor Ceremonies (Covered Areas/Salons)

 

Las Brisas Huatulco offers excellent, convenient indoor or covered spaces as backup plans for outdoor beach or terrace elements:

Ballrooms / Indoor Salons: The resort has dedicated indoor, air-conditioned ballrooms or event salons that are perfectly equipped to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in case of rain or unfavorable weather, comfortably accommodating guest counts in a comfortable setting.

Covered Terraces: Various covered terraces or semi-outdoor areas overlooking the resort can provide additional shelter and usable space during transitions or for parts of the event during unexpected showers.

Backup options utilize the resort’s designed event infrastructure, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience for guests regardless of weather, moving indoors or to a covered area if needed.

Payment Terms and Cancellation Policies (Resort Fees)

 

Payment terms align with large resort and wedding package bookings:

Deposit: Required to secure Las Brisas Huatulco for your wedding date, event spaces, and guest room block. Wedding package deposits and room block deposits are typically required.

Payment Schedule: Phased payments for the wedding package costs leading up to the event date, based on guest count estimates and contractual milestones. Room block deposits/payments are typically handled individually by guests booking in the block, or follow a schedule if part of a larger room block agreement (e.g., a percentage upfront to hold the block).

Final Payment: Typically due shortly before the event (e.g., 30-60 days out), based on the final guaranteed guest count for catering and confirmed package inclusions.

Cancellation Policy: Booking a resort wedding package is a significant commitment; cancellation policies are usually strict with escalating penalties closer to the date, potentially including a high percentage or the full package cost and potential room block penalties. Comprehensive wedding insurance is *highly recommended* to protect against unforeseen cancellations.

Vendor Payments: Costs for external vendors are paid separately to those vendors, according to their individual contracts. Resort fees for outside vendors are paid to the resort.

 

Coordination: Resort Wedding Coordinator vs. External Planner

 

Understanding the support system at a resort:

Las Brisas Huatulco Resort Wedding Coordinator: Your primary contact at the resort for *all things related to the resort wedding package*. They manage: booking wedding event spaces on the property (beach coves, terraces, ballroom), planning and executing the in-house package menu and beverage service, overseeing resort banquet staffing, arranging the basic package decor and setup, coordinating guest room blocks and check-in/out logistics for staying guests, and managing the wedding day timeline *as it pertains to resort services*. Their role is focused on delivering the elements included in your specific wedding package within the large property’s operational framework. They typically do *not* manage your overall design vision (unless using a specific all-inclusive design package), source or extensively coordinate *any* external vendors (beyond providing approved lists or facilitating access), handle detailed guest activities or logistics outside the resort property, or manage budgets beyond the resort package cost.

External Wedding Planner: Provides personalized, comprehensive planning for the *entire event*, integrating seamlessly with the resort’s services. This includes overall event design vision and elevation (taking the basic package and adding personalized high-end touches), detailed budget management across all vendor contracts (resort package + external vendors), sourcing and coordinating *all* external vendors (photographer, videographer, specialized florals, rentals, entertainment, etc.), creating detailed timelines that integrate resort services, external vendors, and guest flow across the expansive, multi-beach property, managing guest logistics (welcome bags, coordinating activities outside the resort, communicating resort details to guests, advising on internal resort transport), handling all vendor contracts (including reviewing the resort contract), and serves as the primary point person for everyone on the wedding day, troubleshooting issues and ensuring seamless execution from start to finish. *Highly recommended* for couples wanting significant customization, managing multiple external vendors, or complex guest logistics, and especially for destination weddings at a large property like Las Brisas.

 

Dietary and Menu Restrictions (In-House Resort Catering)

 

Handled by Las Brisas Huatulco’s in-house culinary team and restaurants:

Catering: Provided exclusively by Las Brisas Huatulco’s in-house kitchens and bars as a central element of the all-inclusive model and wedding packages. Wedding packages typically offer specific banquet menus or buffet options from which to choose. Beverages are part of the all-inclusive bar service. This offers convenience and the ability to work directly with the resort team on food and drink, although menu customization beyond package options might be limited or incur extra fees.

Dietary Needs: Handled directly by the Las Brisas Huatulco kitchen. As a large resort used to hosting diverse groups, they are well-equipped and experienced in accommodating a wide range of dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, etc.) for large numbers of guests with advance notice. Communicate all specific needs and guest counts clearly to the resort wedding coordinator and confirm how they will be managed.

 

Music and Entertainment Restrictions (Resort Policies)

 

Entertainment policies at a large all-inclusive resort balance providing a lively event with respecting other resort guests across a widespread property:

Style: Accommodating to various forms of entertainment suitable for a resort setting. Resort wedding packages often include a resort DJ or offer DJ services as an upgrade. Live bands (tropical, cover) and other entertainers (Mariachi, dancers) are common and can utilize designated outdoor (terraces, beach areas) or indoor event spaces (ballrooms, salons).

Curfews/Noise: As a large resort with many guests in nearby rooms spread across different areas, there will be noise limitations, particularly in areas close to accommodations or on beach/patio areas late at night. Amplified music for dancing will likely need to move to a designated indoor space or cease by a specific hour (e.g., 11 PM, 12 AM, or 1 AM), depending on the resort’s specific policies and location relative to guest rooms and other resort activities. Discuss specific policies and desired music types/times with the resort wedding coordinator and your planner early on, especially considering setup in multiple, potentially distant locations.

Vendor Policies: External entertainment vendors must comply with Las Brisas Huatulco’s rules regarding setup, sound levels in different areas, timing, power requirements, and use of space across the expansive property. Resorts often have fees for outside vendors. Your planner must coordinate this closely with the resort.

 

Parking and Guest Logistics (Resort Location)

 

Logistics for Las Brisas Huatulco are significantly simplified by its all-inclusive nature, with most guest logistics centered around the resort itself, but requiring attention to movement within the large property:

Airport Transfers: Guests arrange standard transport from Huatulco International Airport (HUX) directly to Las Brisas Huatulco (approx. 20-30 minutes). This is a common and easy process via pre-booked shuttles, taxis, or private transfers.

Accommodation: Guests are typically required to stay on-site at Las Brisas Huatulco via a room block, making logistics extremely easy for external travel. All wedding events occur on the property, eliminating the need for guest transportation between separate hotels and the venue.

Transport to Las Brisas Huatulco: Only needed from the airport or if guests are arriving from outside Huatulco. Once at the resort, transport *within* the large property might be needed for guests moving between different bays, event locations, or resort areas, depending on walking distances and accessibility needs. Confirm resort shuttle services or plan alternative arrangements with your planner if needed.

Internal Transport: Moving between different event locations (beach coves, pools, restaurants, reception space) within the resort property may involve walking distances that could be challenging for some guests. Utilize resort pathways and confirm accessibility. Resort shuttles might be available between areas; clarify this with the resort coordinator.

Parking: Las Brisas Huatulco typically has on-site parking for guests (usually included in the all-inclusive rate) and vendors. However, providing parking is less critical than ensuring easy airport transfers and navigating the large property, given it’s a destination wedding where guests fly in.

Vendor Access: Coordinated load-in/out plan required for approved external vendors with the resort wedding coordinator and planner, utilizing designated service areas and times across the widespread property. Access to specific beaches/coves may require specialized planning.

 

Total Cost Breakdown (Las Brisas Huatulco Wedding)

 

For an estimated wedding of 100 guests at Las Brisas Huatulco:

Resort Wedding Package (Venue, F&B, Staffing, basic Decor/Cake): $100 – $250+ USD per person ($10,000 – $25,000+) – Variable based on chosen package level, inclusions, and date. Packages often have minimum guest counts. Las Brisas pricing is competitive for the offerings.

Total estimated *event* cost (paid by couple) typically ranges from $30,000 – $120,000+ USD for 100 guests, heavily influenced by the chosen wedding package, guest count, extent of upgrades/rentals, external vendor choices, resort fees, and the complexity of utilizing multiple locations on the large property. This is *in addition* to the guests’ individual all-inclusive room costs.

 

Splurge vs. Save

Save: Choose a basic or mid-level wedding package offered by the resort and maximize the included items. Minimize external vendors and utilize resort-preferred or in-house options (catering, basic decor, resort DJ). Select event locations included in your package with lower or no additional site fees (e.g., main beach area vs secluded cove). Encourage guests to utilize resort walking paths rather than relying on internal transport. Focus floral/decor on key focal points using package inclusions or simple additions. Skip optional private events (guests can utilize resort restaurants).

Splurge: Choose a premium wedding package with enhanced inclusions or longer event times. Pay for upgraded locations, particularly the more secluded and picturesque beach coves or prime terraces. Invest in high-end external vendors (photographer, videographer, luxury florist, specialty rentals) for a highly personalized look and feel across multiple locations, paying any associated resort fees. Book optional private events like a welcome party or a farewell brunch at a preferred location on the property. Upgrade entertainment (live band vs DJ). Secure higher category room types for the couple and wedding party. Ensure easy guest movement within the large resort, potentially confirming resort shuttle availability or arranging supplementary transport if needed for guests with mobility issues.

Activities for Other Days (On-Site Amenities & Huatulco Exploration)

 

Guests attending a wedding at Las Brisas Huatulco benefit immensely from the all-inclusive nature and extensive beachfront property, offering numerous on-site activities and easy access to exploring the Huatulco bays:

On-Site (Resort Amenities): Guests staying at the resort can enjoy the extensive all-inclusive facilities throughout their stay. This includes direct access to multiple distinct beach coves (each offering a different experience, from calm swimming to potential waves), numerous swimming pools, a variety of à la carte and buffet restaurants, numerous bars (poolside, swim-up, lobby), resort-organized activities (water sports like kayaking/paddleboarding/snorkeling, fitness classes, games, nightly entertainment, kids’ clubs, potentially tennis/golf), and potentially spa/fitness facilities. The sheer size and variety of beaches/pools are a major draw.

Off-Site (Huatulco Exploration): Huatulco is known for its nine beautiful bays. Guests can easily arrange boat tours to explore the different bays and beaches, go snorkeling or diving in marine parks, or visit the nearby town of La Crucecita (known for its church, market, and shops/restaurants) via taxi (approx. 5-10 minutes from the main resort entrance). The Huatulco National Park also offers hiking and nature exploration.

Optional Hosted Events: Couples can choose to host additional events like a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or farewell brunch at one of the resort’s restaurants or in a private event space, often as an add-on to their wedding package. Alternatively, they can host these events off-site in La Crucecita or another bay, requiring external coordination and transportation.

 

Three Practical Tips for Brides

 

Leverage the Multiple Beach Locations: Las Brisas’s unique selling point is its access to several private beach coves. Work with your planner and the resort coordinator to understand the vibe and logistics of each beach option (e.g., calm vs. waves, accessibility, privacy level) and choose the perfect spot for your ceremony or other events, utilizing the variety for photos and guest experience.

Plan for Movement Across the Expansive Property: Las Brisas is large and spread out. While this offers beautiful distinct areas, plan guest flow carefully, especially for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. Clarify resort shuttle availability and routes, and consider arranging supplementary transport if needed to ensure guests can easily get between their rooms, resort amenities, and wedding event locations across the bays.

Understand Package Inclusions vs. Personalization, especially for Vendors: While resort packages provide a great base, they are designed for efficiency. If you have a specific design vision or desire unique elements (specialty rentals, elaborate florals, custom lighting, specific entertainment), budget for upgrades or external vendors. Be prepared for potential outside vendor fees and ensure your planner coordinates seamlessly with the resort team to integrate these personalized elements into the package structure across the widespread property.

My Final Thoughts as a Wedding Pro 

 

Photographing a wedding at Las Brisas Huatulco offers incredible photographic variety due to its expansive property and multiple beach coves. My focus would be on leveraging these diverse natural backdrops for portraits and capturing the unique feel of each event location – from a serene cove ceremony to a lively poolside reception. Documenting the celebratory energy of the couple and their guests enjoying the all-inclusive experience and the resort’s extensive amenities is key. Challenges include managing harsh midday sun on the beaches, navigating movement across the large property efficiently with gear, coordinating photography coverage across multiple, potentially distant event areas, and ensuring I am aware of and comply with any resort rules regarding vendor presence and access to specific areas. Las Brisas Huatulco is ideal for couples who prioritize a convenient, guest-focused, fun, and visually diverse beachfront wedding experience across a large, integrated property, offering photos that feel joyful, dynamic, and perfectly capture a multi-faceted tropical destination celebration.
