If you’re dreaming of getting married by the water and would prefer to walk down the aisle on a wooden deck, Media Luna Resort in Roatán, Honduras, is a venue to consider. The deck overlooks a cove, with a wooded shoreline across the water. It’s a setting where your guests can enjoy the Caribbean view from their ceremony seats and gather around candlelit tables for an open-air reception.
A waterfront ceremony with a view of the cove
One of our favorite things about Media Luna is the view from the back of the aisle. At Britney and Alexander’s 120-guest destination wedding on May 24, 2026, a white runner led between rows of white cross-back chairs to a crescent of tropical flowers. The taller side of the arrangement framed the couple, while the lower side left the water and the trees across the cove in full view.
If you’re choosing ceremony décor for this space, start with what you want your guests to see. An open arch or a pair of low floral arrangements can frame your vows while keeping the shoreline visible in your photographs.
An open-air wedding reception at Media Luna
The reception deck lends itself to a different atmosphere as daylight fades. For Britney and Alexander, round tables dressed in white held tall arrangements of tropical flowers, with whole fruit gathered at the bases. At their sweetheart table, the flowers sat low enough for the newlyweds to look out and see their family and friends. After dark, pillar candles lit the place settings, and a glowing sign with the couple’s family name marked their table.
Some of the most memorable details were also the simplest. Guests could pick up a chilled coconut from a small wooden boat filled with palm fronds, and local vendors from Roatán prepared the wedding appetizers. For couples who want their guests to experience a little of the island, food is a lovely place to begin.
Can Media Luna host a wedding for 120 guests?
Yes. Britney and Alexander celebrated at Media Luna Resort with 120 guests for their waterfront ceremony and reception. If your guest list is a similar size, we recommend reviewing a floor plan that shows where everyone will sit, how much room you’d like for dancing and how guests will move between spaces. Because the celebration areas are outdoors, we’ll also help you confirm a rain plan with the resort for your date and guest count.
