Last week we showcased the beautiful images from this wedding and now we can share the video. Thanks to Dani and her crew at Sweet Caribbean Weddings for continually stepping up their game for our clients! We appreciate everyone who had a hand in making this such a special day for Dontell and Kayla!!
Planner Anna Schriemer of Paradise Weddings and Events has a great recap of this beautiful wedding on her blog: http://www.paradiseweddingevents.com/destination-wedding-of-kayla-and-dontrell/
“Since the first time they called me, I knew I would be super excited to be a part of Kayla and DonTrell’s extraordinary adventure. Their destination wedding was all you would ever dream of. From the ceremony setup, the place, to the decorations… in one phrase—it was perfect. There were a bunch of emotions, joyous tears and a lot of dancing time. The best part was their wedding date – it matches the date they have met 7 years ago. So romantic!
The full them vibe was neutral colors, with a lot of greenery and minor touches of mauve pink, grey, and ivory. Kayla and DonTrell preferred to highlight the raw beauty of the Villa la Joya, so they kept décor to a minimum to focus attention on the palm trees, ocean, and breathtaking view. We had so much fun together with the bride and groom, their family and wedding party. Let me guide you through their special day step by step. And thanks to Sweet Caribbean Photography, I have some impressive visuals to better showcase Kayla and DonTrell’s destination adventure.”

Kyle and Michelle were recently engaged here at Villa La Joya. Kyle had spent months preparing for this surprise engagement.
Kyle arranged for luxury transportation from that Cancun airport to Villa La Joya. The couple were greeted by the creative team of Deja Vu, who did the video you see below. The garden was set up with a romantic candle display, where Kyle invited Michelle to open her gift box, a personalized love story book. As you will see in the video, he then got down on bended knee and asked Michelle to marry him.
Kyle also made arrangements for their closest friends to come to the Riviera Maya and be a part of this special proposal. After the proposal they toasted and celebrated together on the terrace of Villa la Joya.
Congratulations on your engagement, we are looking forward to your wedding at Villa la Joya.
One year ago Irene & Isidro visited Villa la Joya and they immediately knew that Villa la Joya was the perfect place to declare their vows to each other. The couple celebrated their special moment together with their closest family and had a beautiful and emotional ceremony on the lawn followed by a casual cocktail hour and reception with a Mexican buffet on the terrace by the pool. Bride Irene surprised her new husband with a special grooms Cake inspired by his favorite team. The couple and their family danced the night away on the terrace , enjoying a beautiful evening in Villa la Joya in the Riviera Maya.
