Opting to arrive at your ceremony by canoe, escorted by fully adorned Mayan Ceremonial Guides, is more than just a mode of transport; it’s an experience that blends the beauty and intrigue of the Mayan traditions, nature, and romance. Here are a few reasons why this choice stands out:
Scenic Beauty: Hotel Xcaret is nestled within the lush landscapes of Riviera Maya, featuring winding rivers and crystal-clear cenotes. Arriving by canoe allows you to immerse yourself fully in the natural beauty, creating a serene and picturesque start to your ceremony.
Cultural Touch: Hotel Xcaret Mexico celebrates the rich cultural Mayan heritage. Canoeing through the resort’s waterways echoes the traditional methods of transportation used by the ancient Maya, adding a historical and cultural dimension to your grand entrance.
Photographic Moments: The journey to your ceremony site offers countless opportunities for stunning photographs. The backdrop of vibrant flora and shimmering water ensures your wedding album will be filled with magical, cinematic moments unlike anything you’ve seen at other weddings.
Intimate and Romantic: A canoe ride provides a private and tranquil start to your wedding ceremony. It’s a perfect opportunity for a few quiet moments of reflection and calm before the wedding day festivities begin.
Planning Your Canoe Entrance
Making your canoe arrival as smooth and enchanting as possible involves a bit of planning. Here’s what you need to consider:
Coordination with the Resort: You’ll work closely with your wedding coordinator at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. They have experience orchestrating such entrances and can guide you through the process, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Choosing the Right Ceremony Venue: Mayan canoe entrances can be hosted at Caleta Fuego, Bar Bio, and Playon Viento.
Timing: You’ll want to plan the timing of your arrival to match the ceremony schedule, ensuring that all guests are seated and the ceremony is about to begin.
Attire and Safety: Ensure your wedding day attire is suitable for the Mayan canoe ride (and more importantly, the exit from the canoe in front of your guests). Brides might opt for a slightly shorter dress or one without a significant train, that can be easily lifted out of the canoe, with the possibility of avoiding the water.
Personal Touches: Consider customizing your canoe with floral arrangements or decor that matches your wedding theme. This adds a personal touch and makes the Mayan canoe arrival an integral part of your wedding décor.
