Destination celebrations · Mexico
Married by the sea,
fed by the land.
Weddings, weekend celebrations and retreats across Mexico, planned from Austin and produced by a team that lives there.
The studio
A U.S. studio with a Mexican production team, so nothing gets lost in translation, in either direction.
Altamar was founded in 2014 by Marisol Vega after a decade producing events for a hotel group in Mexico City. We plan from Austin, where most of our clients are, and produce from Mexico, where all of our celebrations are. Seven destinations, one accountable team, no vendor commissions.

Kind words
From the people who were there.
“We interviewed six planners. Altamar was the only one who told us our first venue idea was wrong, and why. Every decision after that came from trust. The weekend was the best three days of our lives, and we never once looked at a clock.”
Marina & Theo
Married in Los Cabos, March 2026 · San Diego, CA
“Two families, two religions, two ceremonies, one jungle. Marisol and Camila made it feel effortless, which we now know it absolutely was not. Our parents still talk about the candles.”
Priya & Daniel
Married in Tulum, December 2025 · Houston, TX
“Altamar ran the tightest offsite I've seen in fifteen years of doing this, and it didn't feel tight for a second. Their cost modelling got the CFO on board; the surf lessons got everyone else.”
Renée Okafor
Chief People Officer, Calloway Health · Nashville, TN
“I'm a chef. I'm impossible about food. They found me the one dinner in Mexico I couldn't have improved, and then put forty-two of my favourite people around it.”
Elena Marchetti
Sixtieth birthday in Oaxaca, January 2026 · Chicago, IL
How it works
Five steps, one accountable team.
Most couples come to us twelve to eighteen months out. Here is what the road from a first call to the last shuttle looks like.
- 01Week 1
The fit call
A candid 45-minute conversation about your guest list, your budget and the kind of week you're imagining. We tell you honestly whether it works and which destinations fit.
- 02Months 1 – 3
Scouting
We shortlist two destinations and three or four venues in each, then fly down together. Decisions get made standing in the space, not scrolling through it.
- 03Months 3 – 6
The design story
Palette, materials, floral direction, tabletop, lighting, stationery. One story across every event of the weekend, built from the place and from you.
- 04Months 6 – 12
Production & guest travel
Contracts in both languages, vendors confirmed, room blocks filled, transfers matched to every flight. A weekly call keeps you informed without homework.
- 05Celebration week
The week itself
Our team arrives three days before you do. From then on your only job is to be present. We run the timeline, the guest line and the surprises.
