Yellow Umbrella Events has helped couples plan destination weddings at Impression Isla Mujeres since it opened in 2023. This adults only, ultra luxurious, all-inclusive resort on Isla Mujeres, Mexico offers an intimate, elevated wedding experience with only 125 suites on property.
From the moment you step onto the private catamaran transfer from Cancun, you’re headed to an exclusive island setting with secluded luxury, ocean views, and gourmet dining. A few things set Impression Isla Mujeres apart for weddings:
– Breathtaking ceremony and reception venues. Whether you want an intimate beachfront ceremony, a private oceanfront terrace, or a rooftop celebration, the resort offers venues that capture the beauty of the Caribbean.
– Easy to personalize wedding packages. Packages cover the basics for either an elopement or a full wedding, then you add the décor, floral design, and entertainment you want.
– A truly elevated experience. With only 125 suites, this boutique resort offers a private, intimate atmosphere with butler service, Endless Privileges inclusions, and no set check-in or checkout times.
– Only one wedding a day. The resort limits itself to one wedding per day. No competing events, no shared venues, and full attention from your wedding team on your date.
– World-class dining and craft cocktails. Guests get chef-driven, gourmet dining with organic, locally inspired cuisine, premium wines, and craft cocktails. No buffet lines. The views from Spezia and Unik restaurants are some of the best on property.
A wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres is a multi-day experience for you and your guests, not just a single event day.

Both packages are currently limited to new wedding bookings at Impression by Secrets resorts. If you booked under an earlier version of these terms, confirm with your coordinator which package version applies to your contract.
How much is the Impression Isla Mujeres wedding package deposit?
This changed significantly for 2027. Deposits are no longer flat dollar amounts. Both packages now require a deposit of 30% of the total package value at the time of booking, and it is non-refundable.
At current pricing, that puts the Lasting Impression deposit somewhere between roughly $2,600 and $3,200 depending on your date, up from the previous flat $750. The Intimate Impression deposit works out to roughly $795 at current pricing, up from the previous flat $500. Budget for this early in your planning, since it’s a meaningfully different number than couples may have seen quoted previously.
Once a wedding date is confirmed, Lasting Impression cannot be canceled within six months of the wedding date without forfeiting the deposit. Intimate Impression cancellations also forfeit the initial deposit.

Are there fees to consider for beyond the base package price?
A few costs sit outside the package price and are new or clarified for 2027:
– A set up fee applies to all venues, calculated based on final guest count and layout
– Premium venue locations carry an additional charge on both packages
– Crystal champagne flutes for the Lasting Impression toast must be requested at least 90 days before the wedding date

Does Impression Isla Mujeres include all the vendors we’ll need for our wedding day?
There is an outside vendor fee of $1,500 USD per vendor per day.
What if we don’t want to use the in-house vendors that Impression Isla Mujeres requires?
If you don’t want to use the in-house vendors at Impression Isla Mujeres, there is an outside vendor fee of $1,500 USD per vendor per day.
Is there any way the vendor fee could be waived?
Yes. The $1,500 USD per vendor per day fee can be waived if the vendor books a room and stays on the property as a guest during the events they’ll be servicing.
Can we bring our own décor?
Yes, but you’ll need to provide a list of the décor items you plan to bring, and the resort will confirm approval, since items must align with the resort’s concept. There will be a fee for decorating assistance.
If we prefer a particular venue, is it guaranteed to be available on our wedding day?
A specific venue can be guaranteed once the contracting process for the wedding date is finalized.
Is there a discounted room rate for our guests?
Potentially, but not always. Depending on the date and other factors, a room block contract may come with slightly discounted group rates, or the resort may “stop the rate” at contracting, locking in the room rate for a period of time.
What are the benefits of contracting a room block at Impression Isla Mujeres?
– Welcome Cocktail Party: a one-hour welcome event with open bar the day before your wedding
– Private Group Check-In when your group, or a majority of it, arrives together
– Potential free rooms and upgrades for groups of 30 or more rooms
– A 20% discount on spa treatments and a 10% discount on spa products
Securing a room block also locks in your room rate for a guaranteed period, gives guests more flexibility when booking, and lets you reserve specific room categories at the price points that work for your group.
*Only rooms booked and paid through your unique booking link qualify for group concessions.
*Group concessions may vary by season and are subject to change.
Are we required to contract a Wedding Room Block?
Impression Isla Mujeres requires that at least 80% of your wedding guests stay on property for a minimum of three nights, but a room block itself is not required. For groups of 10 or more rooms, the resort strongly encourages one, since rates tend to increase the closer you get to the travel date.
How do we and our guests book rooms for our wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres?
Once your room block is finalized, our team creates a custom booking link for you and your guests. Here’s a sample link from a past wedding – https://www.yellowumbrellaevents.com/events/leigh-and-jonathan/

While not exactly hidden, certain costs often surprise couples when planning their wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres.
Event Lighting

Outside Vendor Fees
If you choose to bring in an outside vendor, the resort charges an outside vendor fee of $1,500 per vendor company, per day.
Additional Audio & Visual Equipment
The wedding package includes a sound system with one speaker and one microphone for the ceremony. However, if you need additional audio equipment for your reception, cocktail hour, or other events, you’ll need to rent extra speakers, microphones, or a DJ sound setup.
Vendor Meals
The couple typically provides a vendor meal for each vendor working at your event for more than four hours. The cost is approximately $30.00 per person and includes a basic meal with water, juice, and a club sandwich.
To avoid unexpected costs, we recommend carefully reviewing your wedding contract and working with your Yellow Umbrella Events team to ensure your budget covers all necessary expenses. We’re here to help you navigate these details so you can have the perfect wedding day without surprises!
