The Perfect Backdrop for Your Special Day
San Miguel de Allende isn’t just another wedding destination—it’s consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful cities for good reason. The UNESCO World Heritage site offers a mesmerizing blend of colonial history, vibrant Mexican culture, and artistic beauty that creates a naturally romantic atmosphere. Cobblestone streets wind through colorful buildings, historic churches tower over lively plazas, and the golden light that bathes the city each evening creates a magical glow that photographers dream about.
At Casa Grande Boutique Hotel, we’ve created a haven that captures this enchanting essence while offering an exclusive, intimate setting for the most important day of your life. Our property combines authentic Mexican architectural elements with modern luxury, creating spaces that feel both timeless and contemporary.
Carrie and Austin's Love Story: A Casa Grande Wedding
Every wedding tells a unique story, and recently we had the pleasure of hosting Carrie and Austin as they began their journey together. Their celebration perfectly illustrates what makes Casa Grande special for couples seeking an authentic and intimate Mexican wedding experience.
A Magical Garden Ceremony
The couple chose one of our private garden spaces for their ceremony, creating a secluded paradise for their most meaningful moment. At the focal point stood our antique-inspired water fountain, which our floral team adorned with lush arrangements of local blooms in vibrant hues that complement San Miguel’s natural palette.
What made this ceremony particularly special was how it incorporated both intimacy and inclusion. The couple’s immediate family—parents, siblings, and Carrie’s grandmother—surrounded them in the garden, while approximately 50 additional guests observed the proceedings from our second-floor balconies that overlook the space. This unique arrangement created a feeling of both privacy and community.
As Carrie and Austin exchanged their heartfelt vows, guests showered them with rose petals—a traditional gesture that created not only a beautiful visual moment captured perfectly by their photographer but also symbolized the community’s blessing on their union. The gentle cascade of petals against the backdrop of our lush garden created a scene straight from a fairytale.
A Celebration that Embraces Mexican Culture
What would a wedding in Mexico be without the passionate sounds of mariachi? Following the emotional ceremony, eight talented musicians made a surprise entrance, surrounding the newlyweds and their family with the vibrant, joyful sounds that embody Mexican celebration. This cultural element brought smiles to everyone’s faces and set the tone for the festivities to follow.
The celebration then moved to what many consider the crown jewel of Casa Grande—our magnificent rooftop terrace offering breathtaking 360-degree views of San Miguel de Allende. As the sun began to set, the city’s famous pink-hued churches and colorful buildings created a stunning panorama that left guests speechless. The mountains surrounding San Miguel provided a dramatic backdrop as day turned to evening and the city began to twinkle with lights.
Rather than opting for a traditional formal dinner, Carrie and Austin chose a more interactive and memorable experience for their guests—a pizza-making party utilizing our rooftop kitchen’s authentic wood-fired oven. Guests laughed and collaborated as they created their own culinary masterpieces, enjoying the casual elegance that has become Casa Grande’s signature style. This interactive dining experience fostered conversation and connection among guests while providing delicious, freshly made food with a view that can’t be matched.
Why Casa Grande Is the Ultimate Boutique Wedding Destination
What sets Casa Grande apart from other wedding venues in San Miguel de Allende is our commitment to providing a truly boutique experience. Unlike large resorts or hotels where multiple weddings might occur simultaneously when you book with us, the entire property becomes your private sanctuary.
Exclusive Access to Stunning Spaces
Our boutique hotel concept means that we offer just eight luxurious suites, allowing your wedding party to essentially take over the entire property if desired. This exclusivity creates an atmosphere more akin to a private villa than a hotel, with all of our carefully designed spaces at your disposal.
Beyond our garden ceremony areas and spectacular rooftops, couples can utilize our elegant courtyard, intimate dining room, and cozy lounge spaces. Each area of Casa Grande has been thoughtfully designed to balance authentic Mexican architectural elements with sophisticated comfort.
The rooftop kitchen deserves special mention—this isn’t just a catering space but a fully equipped gourmet kitchen where professional chefs can prepare spectacular meals, or as in Carrie and Austin’s case, where guests can participate in culinary experiences that become a highlight of the celebration.
Personalized Planning with a Local Touch
