The Best Wedding Venues in Puebla, Mexico
Haciendas, halls, gardens, and ranches: an honest guide to venues in the state of Puebla — and why Cholula leads the list.
Where to Get Married in Puebla?
The state of Puebla has a richer wedding venue scene than most people imagine. Beyond the historic center and its colonial haciendas, there is an ecosystem of rural venues, rustic gardens, and private ranches — especially in the Cholula area — that increasingly attracts couples looking for a wedding with its own personality.
