Are you considering a destination wedding but the only thing holding you back is that you have always dreamed of getting married in a church or a Catholic Ceremony blessed by the church is a non-negotiable item for your family? Are you aware that there are several resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean that have intimate chapels on property that can host your religious or Catholic Wedding Ceremony?
