Ideas To Inspire Your Dream Celebration
Oaxaca Destination Weddings

after Years Of Planning Destination Weddings Across Mexico, I've Learned That The Most Magical Celebrations Happen When Couples Dare To Blend Their Worlds Authentically. Recently, I've Had The Privilege Of Working With Persian Couples Who Chose Oaxaca As Their Wedding Destination, And I Can Tell You—there's Something Truly Special About Watching Ancient Persian Traditions Unfold Against The Backdrop Of Mexico's Most Culturally Rich City.  

why My Persian Couples Fall In Love With Oaxaca


when Shirin And David First Told Me They Wanted To Honor Both Their Persian Heritage And Their Love For Mexican Culture, I Knew Oaxaca Was The Answer. This Unesco World Heritage City Doesn't Just Offer Stunning Venues—it Offers Soul. The Respect For Tradition Here Runs As Deep As It Does In Persian Culture, Creating An Atmosphere Where Your Sofreh Aghd Feels Perfectly At Home.

i've Watched Couples' Eyes Light Up When They Discover Oaxaca's Colonial Courtyards, Where We Can Create Breathtaking Sofreh Aghd Ceremonies Using Locally Sourced Elements. The Natural Beauty Of Our Rooftop Gardens Provides The Perfect Intimate Setting For Symbolic Rituals Like Shekar Malidan, While Our Artisan Community Helps Us Craft Wedding Elements That Honor Both Cultures Beautifully.

the Magic Happens In The Details 


what I Love Most About Planning Persian Weddings In Oaxaca Is How Naturally The Cultures Complement Each Other. Both Traditions Celebrate Community, Family, And The Art Of Hospitality. I Work Closely With Local Artisans To Incorporate Handwoven Textiles From Oaxacan Communities Into Your Sofreh Aghd, Creating Pieces That Are Both Authentic And Unique To Your Celebration.

one Of My Favorite Memories Was Organizing A Rehearsal Dinner Where We Served Traditional Oaxacan Mole Alongside Persian Rice Dishes And Baklava. The Combination Wasn't Just Delicious—it Was A Beautiful Metaphor For Marriage Itself, Two Distinct Flavors Creating Something Entirely New And Wonderful.

creating Experiences Your Guests Will Never Forget


your Wedding Weekend Becomes More Than A Celebration—it Becomes A Cultural Journey. I Love Arranging For Couples To Incorporate Oaxaca's Iconic Calenda Parade, Where Dancers, Musicians, And Giant Puppets Create A Joyful Processional That Pairs Beautifully With Persian Live Music. It's These Unexpected Moments That Make Your Guests Feel Like They're Part Of Something Truly Extraordinary.

beyond The Ceremony, I Help Couples Curate Experiences That Honor Both Cultures: Mezcal Tastings That Introduce Persian Family Members To Mexico's National Spirit, Cooking Workshops Where Your American Friends Learn To Make Mole, And Market Tours That Show Everyone The Artisanal Heart Of Oaxaca.

why This Matters Now More Than Ever


in Today's World, We're Redefining What Luxury Means. It's Not About The Most Expensive Flowers Or The Fanciest Venue—it's About Creating Meaningful Connections And Honoring The Stories That Make Us Who We Are. When You Choose To Celebrate Your Persian Wedding In Oaxaca, You're Choosing To Slow Down, To Celebrate Deeply, And To Create Something That Reflects Your Unique Love Story. 

every Time I Walk Through Oaxaca's Ancient Streets With Engaged Couples, I'm Reminded Why This Place Is So Special. It's A City That Has Watched Countless Love Stories Unfold, Where Tradition Isn't Just Preserved—it's Lived, Breathed, And Celebrated Every Single Day.

ready To Begin Your Story?


if You're Dreaming Of A Persian Wedding That Honors Your Heritage While Creating Something Entirely New, I'd Love To Help You Bring That Vision To Life. There's Nothing Quite Like Watching Two Families From Different Worlds Come Together In A Place As Magical As Oaxaca.
