For guests looking for something a little more “non-traditional,” something that embraces the local culture and offers a spiritual reverence to the ancient Mayan, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun and Aventura Spa Palace in the Riviera Maya, are pleased to offer guests the Blessing of the Mayan Gods wedding package that is priced at $1,000 U.S.

The ancient Mayans believed that when a couple gets married, their wedding day is more than just two individuals deciding to spend their lives together. It is a sacred union that is performed not only in the presence of their family and friends, but also in the presence of Mother Nature. United, they embrace the energy of the four vital elements - - earth, air, water and fire - - and show their respect for Mother Earth as they are joined in spiritual harmony. 

The ceremony of the Blessing of the Mayan Gods package is performed on the beach with the couple at the center of a circle that is made up of their family and friends. The event is richly steeped in symbolism to represent deep suited feelings like union, abundance, commitment, movement, desire, joy and happiness.

Rates range from $188 - $229 per room/per night, depending upon season and specific resort.
