No. Photography/videography, hair and makeup are very something we believe are very personal and we want you to love who you choose. Vendors outside of those (eg. bands, live entertainment, etc) are welcome but we do ask that you clear them with our team prior to booking them.

Is there a time limit for when wedding receptions end?

The open bar (which follows dinner) marks the start of the dancing portion of your reception and dictates the duration of your reception. Just like weddings at home. We do not have a set time that receptions need to end.

Does Kukua offer site visits and/or food tastings?

We do offer site visits but they need to be booked in advance as we have specific windows of time for them should we be hosting an event. 

 

Food tastings are reserved for booked couples and are included for free within several days prior to a couples wedding. 

Is transportation provided for weddings?

Private transportation round trip is always accounted for and you are welcome to stay and any resort of your choosing. Pricing is based on the location of your resort. Please contact us for more information.

Can a family member or friend officiate the symbolic ceremony?

Yes. We know weddings are very personal so should you choose to have a friend/family member officiate, we welcome them. For symbolic weddings there are no requirements for an officiant.

Are there entertainment options available?

Yes. We offer many options all of which can be found in our services information that is sent via email to all inquiries.

We have a large Palapa on the beach which is a covered structure and can easily accommodate 100+ persons in the event of rain.
