IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE BLESSING CEREMONY

The Blessing is performed by an English speaking Minister. He reads parts from the Bible, he blesses your wedding rings and you exchange your vows. The blessing is a religious ceremony, not a legal ceremony; it is not necessary to be married before you come to Mexico.

Weddings on Saturdays have an additional fee of $60 US Dollars and Weddings on Sundays have an additional fee of $150 US Dollars (to confirm with the Judge). Saturdays and Sundays are subject to availability with Judges.
