Getting Married in Machu Picchu & Peru
Machu Picchu & Peru is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Peru is South America's most profound travel destination — anchored by the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu but extending to the Sacred Valley's living indigenous culture, Cusco's colonial beauty, the Amazon basin, and Lima's food scene that has become the gastronomic capital of South America.
Wedding ceremonies at Machu Picchu are a growing trend. Couples perform traditional Pachamama (Inca blessing) ceremonies with local shamans — an experience unlike any other on earth.
The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Machu Picchu & Peru destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.
We know what Machu Picchu & Peru requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. Watching sunrise burn away the clouds from Machu Picchu's Sun Gate, revealing the citadel below — this is one of the planet's genuinely life-changing views.
