You are welcome to bring in your own vendors from outside the resort, both from the local area and internationally, for a fee per vendor. Photographers and videographers are $1000 per vendor and all DJ/Audiovisual and floral and décor vendors are $870 per service. For example, if you hire a local photographer from the area you would pay an “outside vendor” fee to Hotel Xcaret ARTE of $580. If you ALSO hire an outside vendor as your decorator, there would be an additional outside vendor fee of $870.

If you would like to use outside vendors for your Hotel Xcaret ARTE wedding, we recommend working with vendors that include a number of related services, so that your outside vendor fee is reduced. For example, we’d recommend you choose a vendor that offers both photography and videography or a decorator that includes flowers, linens, and lighting. That way you pay less in outside vendor fees.

Of course, if you choose your vendors from the in-house vendor list at Hotel Xcaret ARTE, there will be no additional fees to use their services, other than the cost of the actual services rendered.

There is one excellent exception to this outside vendor situation. If you bring a vendor with you, like a photographer or hair and make-up artist, for example, and they stay at the resort in your room block for 3 or more nights, there is no outside vendor fee, since they are then considered a guest of your wedding. This is a perfect solution for those couples that want to bring their own photography and videography team with them from their hometown.
