Event Planning in the Yucatán

UNO Events & Catering has expanded to Mérida and the Yucatán

The oldest colonial city in the Yucatán known as the White City, Mérida provides a unique cultural experience for visitors looking to explore beyond Mexico’s world class beach destinations.

Mérida is centrally located within the Yucatán Peninsula near the Gulf of Mexico, the airport services daily non-stop flights from many international cities and from major cities in Mexico. And only 3 hours from Cancun, UNO Events & Catering is beyond excited to offer our concierge and event planning services in this capitol city and nearby sites.

Discover an old world Mexican destination rich in culture, architecture and art

Mérida offers incredible dining, museums and art galleries. Such as the Jose Peon Contreras Theater which hosts symphonies, opera and ballet. Other live performances can be seen in the historic square and in many other venues throughout the city.

The Zocalo is host to a weekend market where artists and food vendors flood the square to offer their goods. Additionally, the main road is blocked off to traffic and the streets come alive with sidewalk cafes, performers, live music and dancing.

Accommodation options in this historic city are numerous. From grand haciendas displaying Spanish colonial architecture to boutique hotels in charming buildings. As well as private vacation rentals and budget friendly rooms scattered throughout the historic districts. You’ll find choices to suit every budget and need.

Things to do in the Yucatán

Mérida serves as a convenient home base for day trips to nearby cenotes, nature reserves such as the Celestun Biosphere, and to UNESCO archaeological sites like Chichén Itzá and the ancient city of Uxmal.

Visit one of the Pueblos Mágicos (Magic Towns) such as Valladolid or Izamal known as the Yellow City where nearly every building is colored in a rich ocher.

Enjoy the cool sea breeze while strolling along the malecόn in Progresso, a laid back seaside town just 35 kms from Mérida. Delight your taste buds with fresh seafood and cold beverages from any of the restaurants and bars along the waterfront.
