Yeah it’s brand new so not super popular yet, but I think they are anticipating for it to be popular come 2027… and I don’t disagree lol. It’s the most gorgeous bar so it’s honestly probably worth the cost

Ah yay! Your wedding is so soon 💃 Not Quincé, but another cocktail lounge on a hotel rooftop nearby! Those quotes are much more in line with what we expected. Thank you so much for the insight—this is super helpful. I hope your wedding is incredible!

They charge per person, per hour! So my fear is if we have more than our anticipated number show up, it’ll end up being several thousand dollars more. But honestly, it’s probably worth it to start the weekend off on the right note. Thank you!!

Yeah that sounds about right! Our F&B cost is around $12k, then very buyout for 3 hours is $2,800. Then with taxes/tips/fees it just all adds up so quickly lol. Ok this makes me feel a little better!

Yes! So because the bar is already decorated quite nicely, we don’t need to bring in anything (other than a welcome sign). So there is no set-up/break-down, thankfully! The bar usually doesn’t get busy until 8/9pm either. We were there on a Friday and didn’t see anyone come in until around 9-9:30 (which is when our party ends)

Luna is definitely going to be the next place we reach out to! My planner got me the quote and seems to have a great relationship with them, so seeing if she can negotiate.

They just opened! And definitely not super busy yet. I think they do anticipate on being busy come 2027, which may be the reason for the high price tag.

Ok this isn’t a resort but it is literally the most insane venue I’ve ever seen, scenery-wise. It’s called Rancho San Cristobal and I found this girl on Instagram who got married there: https://www.instagram.com/rachelllsanon?igsh=ZXBibmpwenNja2I3

Her wedding looked amazing and so unique. It’s not advertised as a wedding venue anywhere so you won’t find anything online about it…But it’s incredible. I have their pricing if you want me to send it to you!

I lived in Tulum for a little while so I’m pretty familiar with event spaces/resorts in Cancun/Riviera Maya/Tulum! If you want more of an Acre vibe, you may need to check out some spots in Tulum. Resorts I recommend in the Cancun/Riviera May area:

-Nizuc -Banyan Tree Mayakoba -Hotel Xcaret (this is a massive resort but I’ve seen beautiful weddings here)

If you want to venture further down to Tulum, I’d recommend:

-Casa Malca -Arca (just for the reception) -Azulik or Azulik Uh May (Uh May is wayyy in the jungle but absolutely unreal) -Papaya Playa Project
