Where a richer
Mexico
awaits

Mexico is one of the most recognised wedding destinations in the world, and one of the most misread. À La Mexicana is the CELEX Sojourn for October 2026: seven days that take you from the quiet beaches of Playa Mujeres to Isla Mujeres, through Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and back to Cancún. It is a love affair with the Mexico your clients have not yet been shown.

Only ten luxury wedding planners will make the journey. You will walk the country's leading wedding venues as a guest, sit at the table with local partners who rarely meet an international audience, and leave with relationships that make the destination truly yours to design. Small enough that every introduction is a real one.

Come home with Mexico's best-kept secrets, and the confidence to plan a wedding here that no one has seen before.

Playa MujeresIsla MujeresTulumCancún

SLS
Playa Mujeres

On the quiet northern beaches of Playa Mujeres, SLS is where the journey opens: the first welcome, the first table, and the first introductions of the week.

Casa Malca
Tulum

A beachfront estate turned art hotel on the Tulum coast, Casa Malca is the base for the middle of the journey, between the sea and the jungle.

Kempinski Hotel
Cancún

Positioned directly on the water with a clear view of the Caribbean, Kempinski Hotel Cancún anchors the closing nights of the journey. The property sets the tone for what the week is: considered, unhurried, and built for a different kind of guest.
