There is a common misconception that couples have to forego water or beach views when it comes to planning their Catholic Destination Weddings, and we’re here to tell you otherwise. Let our team at LovinAway be your guide!

Thankfully, you don’t have to leave the tropical destination nor all inclusive amenities behind just because you prefer to have a chapel ceremony.  Whether your ideal backdrop is a beach, mountains or endless, blue horizon, you can have it all!

For example, in Playa del Carmen, you will find a chapel that is perched above Hotel Xcaret for stunning water views. This spiral staircase leads you to a large, rustic chapel with a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea, the resort grounds and nearby adventure parks. Above you, you’ll find an artistic lighting display.

Head a little further South, and you will find Hard Rock Riviera Maya. Hard Rock Riviera Maya has a modern Catholic chapel on property, bookended by two swimmable lagoons. As you walk down the pristine aisle, in front of you, you will see that water views you were searching for when you envisioned your wedding. The contrast of the waves hitting off of the rocks through the cross adorned wall is a vision you couldn’t even imagine. On each side of you, as you stand at the alter holding each other’s hands, you’ll find floor to ceiling windows.

If beach views are more your style, head on over to the other side of Mexico… Los Cabos. Although the beach is not swimmable throughout the majority of this destination, you won’t have to maneuver around a crowd to get beautiful sunset photos. You and your guests can enjoy a view of the gardens and seemingly endless beach right from their pew…a sight that won’t ever be forgotten.

Looking for a different destination? How about Jamaica?! At Sandals South Coast, you’ll come across an intimate chapel right off of their pier. Not only will you be walking down a pier to your happily ever after, but as you make your way to your groom, you will be stepping across an aisle with glass panels. And you don’t have to leave those panels behind as you exit as Mr. and Mrs. Check into an overwater bungalow as you celebrate your honeymoon in paradise!

Maybe you LOVE the idea of those glass panels at Sandals South Coast, but you wanted to add in a mountain view. Check out the over water chapel at Sandals Grande St. Lucian. The natural beauty displayed in this protected bay is hard to pass up! Calm waters and green mountains will make for stunning wedding photos.
