Xcaret has been recognized as the first destination to be certified by The Ultimate LGBTQ+ Wedding Experience. This important recognition sets a new standard in the global wedding market. It not only expands Xcaret's reach, but also strengthens its commitment to providing a safe and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ couples who wish to celebrate their love.
The certification guarantees that the Xcaret Weddings team treats LGBTQ+ couples with respect and dignity. It ensures a discrimination-free environment where each union is celebrated with equal importance. Ceremonies at Xcaret are guided by principles of equality, diversity, and acceptance, reflecting the essence of love in all its forms.
"Our goal is to offer a unique wedding experience. We guide each couple towards an incredible celebration in an environment where values like inclusion and diversity are prioritized. This has been one of the main reasons for seeking certification. We aim to provide a seamless and respectful experience from the initial contact to the big day," said Manuel Saracho, Director of Groups and Conventions at Xcaret Group.
The Hotel Xcaret Arte hosted the three-day event, where the Xcaret Weddings team participated in various trainings. These focused on the appropriate use of inclusive language, the latest trends in LGBTQ+ weddings, and the creation of personalized experiences.
Queer Weddings MX, a Mexican platform dedicated to promoting inclusion in the LGBTQ+ wedding market, plays a vital role in this initiative. Established in 2012, its mission is to connect couples with vendors who understand their needs, ensuring a prejudice-free service focused on creating unforgettable moments.
The certification not only solidifies Xcaret's position as a leading wedding destination but also highlights the growth of an expanding segment within romance tourism. Xcaret presents itself as an ideal choice for LGBTQ+ couples seeking a heavenly setting.
Xcaret offers more than 15 wedding venues, catering to all tastes and styles, with capacities ranging from 30 to 250 guests. These options are spread across Xcaret Park, Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de La Playa, ensuring that each celebration is unique and memorable.
