One of the most common questions we get at Yellow Umbrella Events is: “How much does a wedding at Hotel Xcaret Mexico actually cost?” While every wedding is unique, L+T’s celebration at Hotel Xcaret Mexico is a great real-life example of what couples can expect when planning a destination wedding at this popular all-inclusive resort.
It’s important to note that L&T had one of the very first weddings to take advantage of the incredible $2,800 Alebrije package – a limited-time special offered in late 2024 to celebrate Hotel Xcaret’s 900-room expansion. This package was only available for a few months, is no longer offered, and the resort has not plans to ever bring it back.

L&T celebrated their wedding day with 53 guests at Hotel Xcaret Mexico in August 2025. Their vision included a tropical ceremony setup, lush florals, romantic lighting, and custom décor touches. To capture it all, they also invested in professional photo and video coverage, including drone footage.

The Yellow Umbrella Take
L&T’s wedding is a great example of how couples can customize their celebration at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. While the base package started at just $2,800, their total spend was just under $36,000 for 53 guests – about $676 per guest. Compared to the average U.S. wedding cost, this represents incredible value (often saving couples 40% or more), while still creating an unforgettable experience.
