Choosing between a quiet courthouse elopement in Havana and a five-day celebration on the sand in Varadero comes down to three things: your guest count, your budget in USD, and how much of Cuba you actually want to see while you’re here. For a full breakdown of legal requirements before comparing prices, our complete 2026 guide for US citizens marrying in Cuba covers every document you’ll need. Below, we compare the five packages our couples actually book.
| Package | From (USD) | Guests | Venue | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Havana Micro Elopement | $890 | 1–2 | Palacio del Vedado | Just-the-two-of-you couples |
| Palacio del Vedado Boutique | $1,450 | up to 10 | Palacio del Vedado | Small legal ceremony + reception |
| Old Havana Historic | $1,980 | up to 20 | Old Havana venues | Colonial architecture backdrop |
| Varadero Beach All-Inclusive | $2,650 | up to 30 | Varadero resorts | Beach ceremony + guest hotel stays |
| Luxury Multi-Day Destination | $4,200 | flexible | Havana + Varadero | Full destination wedding experience |
1. Havana Micro Elopement — from $890 USD
This is our most requested option for couples who want a fully legal marriage in Cuba without a full production. It includes the official civil ceremony inside the Palacio del Vedado, all required paperwork processing, a certified translator, and a short photo session. It’s the fastest path to a valid marriage certificate you can legalize back home.
2. Palacio del Vedado Boutique Package — from $1,450 USD
Our best-rated package for small groups. On top of the civil ceremony, it adds bridal styling, a professional photographer for two hours, decorated ceremony space, and a private toast reception for up to ten guests. If you’re comparing exact line-item costs against other planners, our detailed cost breakdown for US couples shows exactly where this price goes.
3. Old Havana Historic Package — from $1,980 USD
For couples who want colonial plazas, colorful balconies and classic cars in their photos, this package pairs the legal ceremony with an Old Havana photo route and a small celebration at a restored courtyard venue.
«We didn’t want a resort wedding — we wanted Cuba. The Old Havana package gave us both the legal paperwork and the postcard backdrop, and Mauro’s team handled every appointment for us.» — a recent couple, Havana 2026
4. Varadero Beach All-Inclusive Package — from $2,650 USD
This is the package to choose if your guests are flying in and want a resort stay built around the wedding. It bundles the legal ceremony (processed through our Havana registry appointment, then transferred to your resort location), a beachfront setup, catering, and coordination with your resort for guest accommodations. For resort-specific pricing and included amenities, see our full Varadero wedding packages comparison.
5. Luxury Multi-Day Destination Package — from $4,200 USD
Our most comprehensive option: a Havana civil ceremony, a welcome dinner, a full Varadero beach celebration day, professional videography, and private transport between both cities. It’s built for couples treating this as a full destination wedding, not a single-day event. You can also browse packages directly on our Havana wedding packages page or read our general guide to getting married in Cuba for a side-by-side view of every option.
Every one of these packages starts with a confirmed appointment at the Palacio de los Matrimonios del Vedado, which is where the entire process becomes real: our team doesn’t just sell packages from a brochure — we’re on-site at the Palacio del Vedado every week, which means we know which document combinations get approved without delays and which common paperwork mistakes cause couples to lose their reserved slot. Small details, like whether your divorce decree needs a separate apostille or whether your passport translation must be notarized locally, are the difference between a smooth Tuesday morning ceremony and a rescheduled trip.
Micro Weddings and Boutique Packages for Small Groups
If you’re planning intimate boutique weddings in Havana for fewer than 15 guests, official Palacio del Vedado time slots, and boutique-style pricing are exactly what these packages are designed around — including the requirements for intimate weddings in Cuba that most couples ask about before booking.
