There’s something undeniably magical about a wedding after sunset—the sky painted in golden hues, the gentle breeze, and twinkling lights all around. If you’re dreaming of a celebration that moves from breathtaking sunset to starlit dancing, this is your guide.
At We Group, we specialize in transforming your wedding vision into a captivating nighttime experience in Cancun and Riviera Maya.

1. Golden Hour Vows: Sunset Ceremonies on the Beach

Few moments are as romantic as saying “I do” during the golden hour. The soft, warm glow makes for unforgettable photos and a truly emotional experience.

Tips:

• Time your ceremony 45–60 minutes before sunset
  
  
• Use soft décor tones—terracotta, peach, rose gold—to complement the sky
  
  
• Consider a violinist or soft acoustic music for added atmosphere

2. Magical Lighting for After-Dark Receptions

Once the sun sets, lighting becomes the heart of your wedding ambiance. Think string lights, fairy light tunnels, lanterns, or even chandeliers hanging from palm trees.

Ideas:

• Edison bulbs for vintage-chic style
  
  
• Fire pits and tiki torches for warmth and glow
  
  
• LED-lit dance floors or floating candles in pools

Top Picks:

• Fire dancers or light shows

• Lounge areas with cigar rollers and signature cocktails

4. Symbolic Night Rituals with Meaning

Night is the perfect time for meaningful symbolic elements.

Ritual Ideas:

• Floating lantern release (wish lanterns)
