An Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony at Cenote Teresita/Una Boda Inolvidable en el Cenote Teresita

Our wedding ceremony was everything we dreamed of—beautiful, spiritual, and truly moving. We were all brought to tears by the incredible experience. Juan and his family went above and beyond to make our ceremony even more special, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Ruby was a dream to work with. From start to finish, she was so communicative and made the entire process of planning a wedding from the US incredibly easy. Her support was invaluable!

The ceremony took place at the stunning Cenote Teresita, a picturesque location that took our breath away. The tribe’s attire was also beautifully coordinated, adding such a magical touch to the whole event.

We highly recommend them for any event—you won’t be disappointed. This will be a memory we cherish forever. Wishing you and your family all the best in everything you do!

Nuestra ceremonia de boda fue todo lo que soñamos: hermosa, espiritual y verdaderamente emotiva. Todos nos sentimos conmovidos hasta las lágrimas por la increíble experiencia. Juan y su familia hicieron todo lo posible para hacer que nuestra ceremonia fuera aún más especial, y no podríamos estar más agradecidos.

Ruby fue un sueño para trabajar. Desde el principio hasta el final, estuvo muy comunicativa y hizo que todo el proceso de planificar nuestra boda desde los EE. UU. fuera increíblemente fácil. ¡Su apoyo fue invaluable!

La ceremonia tuvo lugar en el impresionante Cenote Teresita, una ubicación pintoresca que nos dejó sin aliento. El vestuario de la tribu también fue bellamente coordinado, añadiendo un toque mágico al evento.

Los recomendamos altamente para cualquier evento; no se arrepentirán. Esta será una memoria que atesoraremos para siempre. ¡Les deseamos lo mejor a ustedes y a su familia en todo lo que hagan!

Truly magical!

Juan and his family were truly incredible!! I expected it to be beautiful but it went above and beyond my expectations!!!
Last minute our site was overbooked and Juan immediately found us several other locations. To be honest, I think the new location was even better and we got a partial refund.
The ceremony was so special and original. I love how it incorporated the elements and the surrounding area. It was really just INCREDIBLE!!!!
If you’re on the fence, look no further!! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!! You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
Also, worth mentioning is that they recommend a really incredible photographer as well. Hernan MagicalArt Photography..
There aren’t enough stars to give these guys 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Juan and family for sharing such a beautiful ceremony with me and my husband ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A magical experience

We feel so fortunate to have had Mexico Ancestral guide our ceremony, it was the most magical experience. Throughout the whole ceremony I felt so at peace and my heart so full and happy. The celebration really was one of a kind. The cenote was a magical place, we were surrounded by such positive and powerful energy the whole time. The two medicine women even did a blessing for our baby, it was so special. I am so happy we were able to celebrate our special day with Mexico Ancestal.

Beyond what we expected

Mexico held a special place in our relationship. We knew we wanted to get married here. Neither one of us are apart of a religion. We wanted something meaningful and unique. We wanted this to be about US, Our relation, Our journey. When I found this, I was very excited. It was us. It was absolutely amazing. We truly felt a connection with each other. We did our legal paperwork in the US. Just had a guy sign the paperwork, but this, this was our wedding. Although we did not do this for the wow factor, every single person who was with us and saw our video and pictures were amazed. This was truly a unique experience, catered to us.

Magical fantastical ceremony

The ceremony was everything and more! It was exactly what we were looking for. The shaman and his family were welcoming and created such a sacred space for us to share our love. It was something we will always treasure. They also recommended a driver to help out. He helped us throughout our whole trip. Thank you!

This was one of the most emotionally charged ceremony of our lives. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was.
