Yellow Umbrella Events has helped several couples plan their dream destination wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets since it opened in 2023. This resort is still a bit new to the scene, but it’s quickly becoming one of our top recommendations and a favorite among our couples. Why? Because this adult-only, ultra-luxurious, all-inclusive resort offers an intimate, elevated wedding experience and has been named the “Most Instagrammable Hotel in the World”.
From the moment you step onto the private catamaran transfer from Cancun, you’ll feel like the main character in your own James Bond movie as you’re transported to an exclusive island paradise – think secluded luxury, stunning ocean views, and gourmet dining. But what truly sets Impression Isla Mujeres apart for weddings?
- Breathtaking Ceremony & Reception Venues – Whether you dream of an intimate beachfront ceremony, a private oceanfront terrace, or a chic rooftop celebration, Impression Isla Mujeres offers stunning venues that perfectly capture the beauty of the Caribbean. This resort is like Mykonos and Tulum had a baby resort and raised it on Isla Mujeres.
- Easy to Personalize Wedding Packages – This resort takes customization to the next level. Wedding packages include the basics for either an elopement or a full wedding. Then you can add all the luxurious décor, elegant floral designs, and entertainment you desire, with the flexibility to personalize every last detail.
- A Truly Elevated Experience – Impression Isla Mujeres caters to couples looking for a higher level of exclusivity. With only 125 suites, this boutique resort ensures a private, intimate atmosphere with butler service, Endless Privileges® inclusions, and no set check-in or checkout times, for a completely stress-free stay.
- Only One Wedding A Day – That’s right, the resort will only allow one wedding per day! This is very unusual for resorts, but Impression Isla Mujeres has decided to prioritize exclusivity and ensure that each couple receives their wedding team’s full attention and dedication. This means no competing events or shared venues, and a truly personalized experience for your wedding day!
- World-Class Dining & Craft Cocktails – Your guests will be treated to chef-driven, gourmet dining experiences featuring organic, locally inspired cuisine, premium wines, and craft cocktails. There are no buffet lines here, just exceptional flavors and top-tier service. The views from the Spezia and Unik restaurants are our personal favs!
A wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets isn’t just about the wedding day – it’s about an unforgettable, ultra-luxurious, multi-day experience that you and your guests will be reminiscing about for years to come.

What is the booking process for a wedding at Impression Isla Mujeres?
The Yellow Umbrella Events team will walk you through every step of the process, and here is an overview of what that would be:
- Initial Inquiry
- Contact the Yellow Umbrella Events team: We love to start with an initial phone call to help answer all of your wedding questions.
- Reserve Your Date
- Secure Your Preferred Date: Our team will confirm and reserve your desired wedding date and connect you with the Impression Isla Mujeres on-site wedding team.
- Contract Deposit
- Formalize the Agreement: You’ll receive your wedding date contract outlining the terms and conditions within a few days. You will then sign the wedding date contract and make the deposit payment through the resort’s payment link at that time.
- Room Block Preparation
- Collaborate with our team to set up a room block contract for your guests. Your room block reserves a set number of rooms at a guaranteed rate for your guests, includes details on deposit requirements, payment deadlines, and cancellation policies, and includes perks based on the number of rooms booked, such as any earned complimentary rooms or additional wedding benefits.
Does Impression Isla Mujeres include all the vendors we’ll need for our wedding day?
No, Impression Isla Mujeres does not include all wedding vendors in the wedding packages. However, they will provide a list of their preferred vendors to choose from, which will be shared with you after the wedding contracting process is completed.
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?
The vendor fee of $1,500 USD per vendor per day at Impression Isla Mujeres can be waived if the vendor is booked in a room at the resort and stays on the property as a guest during the events they will be servicing.
Can we bring our own décor?
Yes, you can bring your own décor to Impression Isla Mujeres; however, you will need to provide a list of the décor items you plan to bring and the resort will let you know if they will approve of the items you’d like to bring, as they 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 for your wedding day 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, when securing a room block contract, Impression Isla Mujeres may offer slightly discounted group rates for your guests, or they may “stop the rate” at the time of contracting, where the room rate will be locked in for a period of time.
What are the benefits of contracting a room block at Impression Isla Mujeres?
Room block contracts include some great perks, such as:
- Welcome Cocktail Party: One-hour welcome event with open bar the day before your wedding
- Private Group Check In: when your group (or a majority of your group) arrives together
- Potential Free Rooms & Upgrades: Groups of 30 or more rooms may be eligible for a complimentary room and/or a complimentary room upgrade
- Spa Discounts: Enjoy a 20% discount on spa treatments and a 10% discount on spa products
In addition to these great perks, securing a room block allows you to lock in a room rate for a guaranteed period of time, so your guests can benefit from knowing that their room rate will not increase, up until a specific date before the wedding. This gives guests more wiggle room when making reservations. Also, you can lock in certain room categories, so you can ensure your guests have access to precisely the rooms they need and that you have plenty of rooms at the price points that make the most sense for you and your guests.
- *Only rooms booked and paid through your unique booking link will qualify for group concessions.
- *Group concessions (perks & any freebies) earned may vary by season and are subject to change at any time.
Are we required to contract a Wedding Room Block?
Impression Isla Mujeres requires that at least 80% of your wedding guests stay on the property for a minimum of three nights, but you are not required to contract a room block. However, for groups of 10 or more rooms, the resort highly encourages a room block to ensure rooms are available for your wedding and that rates are locked in for your guests, as the rates at this resort 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 will create a custom link for you and your guests. Here’s a sample link from a past wedding – https://www.yellowumbrellaevents.com/events/leigh-and-jonathan/

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.
