A Romantic Riviera Maya Wedding by the Sea

Diana & Fernando’s Elegant Wedding at Villa la Joya

Diana’s radiant smile and Fernando’s easy charm set the tone for a wedding day that was pure romance and fun. Their March destination wedding at Villa la Joya in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, was an intimate gathering of closest family and friends. The setting — ocean views, lush flowers, and a private villa glowing with beauty — could not have been more perfect.

Villa la Joya Wedding Details: Riviera Maya Destination Wedding

Couple: Diana & Fernando

Venue: Villa la Joya, a private oceanfront wedding villa near Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya, Mexico

Planned By: Villa Planners

Wedding Style: Intimate destination celebration with abundant florals and romantic garden décor.

Guest Experience: Cozy cocktail hour with mariachi music and signature drinks created a festive, personal vibe.

Reception Highlights: Floral arch at the sweetheart table, papel picado and twinkle lights overhead, a personalized dance floor over the pool, and the villa’s grand staircase perfect for portraits.

The Bride’s Effortless Beauty

For her destination wedding bridal style, Diana struck just the right balance of tropical ease and timeless elegance. A soft half-up hairstyle with cascading waves framed her face, and a sun-kissed makeup glow completed the look.

Her gown was unforgettable: a strapless lace bodice paired with a full taffeta skirt that caught the light with every movement. Detachable lace sleeves gave the effect of long gloves, a couture detail that made her look fashion-forward yet romantic.

First Look Portraits at the Villa

The couple explored the villa for their first look portraits. One image stands out above all: Diana’s gown cascading down the grand staircase of Villa la Joya. The sweeping train, framed by arches and bathed in natural light, created a moment that was pure magic — a portrait that will be treasured for years to come.

Fernando looked every bit her match in a lightweight beige three-piece suit — tailored, timeless, and just right for the Riviera Maya setting. Fashion isn’t just for the bride; his look was chic and elegant.

A Ceremony Overflowing With Flowers

Diana carried a soft, country-garden style bouquet in shades of blush pink, perfectly suited to the day’s romantic tone.

The ceremony exploded with flowers. The garden facing the Caribbean Sea became a blooming pathway of big, beautiful arrangements in pinks and purples. Guests walked through what felt like a living garden, leading to a floral arch that framed the altar with the ocean beyond.

Smiles, laughter, and a few happy tears filled the air — all the signs of a perfect wedding ceremony with loved ones.

Cocktail Hour With Heart

Diana and Fernando sealed their vows with a kiss, and the celebration flowed straight into cocktail hour. Mariachi music filled the air and got everyone on their feet. Guests sipped signature drinks — “La Enfermera” and “El Maestro” — playful nods to the couple.

Lounge-style seating encouraged conversation and laughter, creating a cocktail hour that felt warm, effortless, and personal.

A Reception Full of Magic

If the ceremony was a garden dream, the reception was pure enchantment. Round tables overflowed with flowers, echoing the same lush style as the ceremony. The floral arch returned as the backdrop for the sweetheart table, giving Diana and Fernando a glowing frame as they dined and toasted.

A personalized dance floor stretched across the pool, becoming the centerpiece of the night. Overhead, rows of white papel picado and twinkling lights fluttered in the breeze, blending tradition and elegance in a way only a Mexican wedding can.

Villa la Joya glowed with beauty, every corner touched by artistry and romance.

Sweet Details and Heartfelt Moments

The wedding cake was simply gorgeous — three white tiers with delicate icing flowers. Elegant, timeless, and yes, almost too pretty to cut.

The parents’ dances were moving and sweet. Tender and emotional, they reminded everyone that weddings are about more than two people — they bring families together in love.

A Party to Remember

The moment the music started, the dance floor came alive. Guests laughed, danced, and proved that small weddings don’t mean small celebrations.

Diana and Fernando even took over the DJ booth, firing up the smoke machine and sending the crowd into cheers. Not every couple can mix vows with DJ drops, but these two did it flawlessly.

The Joy That Lasts

Beyond the flowers, music, and décor, what shines brightest is Diana’s magnificent smile and the romantic, easy connection she shares with Fernando. Their happiness filled the day with contagious joy, creating a Villa la Joya wedding that was romantic, elegant, and unforgettable.

With Gratitude

We feel truly honored that Diana and Fernando chose Villa la Joya for their wedding. It was a joy to witness their celebration and the love they share. We wish them a lifetime of joy, laughter, and unforgettable adventures together.

Ashley & Terence’s Dream Wedding at Villa la Joya Riviera Maya

Ashley & Terence’s Dream Wedding at Villa la Joya Riviera Maya

A Private Villa Wedding in Mexico by the Sea

Every love story at Villa la Joya unfolds in its own way — and Ashley & Terence’s was nothing short of magical. For their destination wedding in Mexico, this beautiful couple gathered loved ones from near and far to celebrate in our private oceanfront villa. Their vision of a chic black-and-white theme came to life flawlessly — elegant, romantic, and filled with unforgettable moments by the sea.

Destination Wedding Fashion: Black & White and a Custom Bridal Gown

The wedding day began with a morning of glam at Villa la Joya. Ashley slipped into her custom Olia Zavozina gown — a unique strapless design with a romantic bodice and a perfectly corseted waist that highlighted her timeless style. Her bridesmaids wore sleek black dresses, their polished low ponytails and chic looks perfectly complementing the monochrome palette.

Terence cut a classic figure in a traditional tuxedo with a sharp white jacket and black pants — a striking choice against the turquoise Caribbean backdrop. His groomsmen matched in Generation Tux, creating a wedding party look that was refined, cohesive, and effortlessly stylish.

Villa la Joya Romantic Wedding Ceremony in the Riviera Maya

The ceremony took place on the grand front steps of Villa la Joya, where sweeping stone staircases and elegant architecture set the stage for their vows. La Fiore’s lush white florals softened the villa’s stately façade, creating a romantic atmosphere worthy of the occasion.

As their family and friends looked on, Ashley & Terrence promised a lifetime of love. The most emotional moment came when Ashley read her vows. Overcome with emotion, she began to sob, struggling to get the words out. It was raw, authentic, and unforgettable — and by the end, there wasn’t a dry eye among their guests.

Mexico Wedding Reception Under the Stars

As the sun set over the Riviera Maya, guests gathered in Villa la Joya’s seaside garden for a reception under the stars. Signature cocktails from BeYou Service raised spirits, while the black-and-white theme continued to set a tone of timeless elegance.

The reception looks for the bride and groom were pure Hollywood glamour. Ashley dazzled in her second dress by Ashley Lauren — a sparkling mini designed for dancing — while Terence looked every bit the leading man in a black brocade jacket. Together, they embodied old-Hollywood romance with a tropical twist.

A cigar bar with a live roller from Showtime added a touch of indulgence, and the cake by Lluvia de Azúcar stood as a centerpiece almost too stunning to cut. When it was time to dance, Disco Móvil Cancún filled the floor with music and lights, while a dazzling LED dance floor and dry fireworks showered the celebration in sparks. It was the perfect finale to an unforgettable night.

Jenny & Vince’s Vibrant Tropical Wedding Celebration at Villa La Joya

Jenny & Vince’s Vibrant Tropical Wedding Celebration at Villa La Joya

Some weddings are pure joy from start to finish — and Jenny & Vince’s celebration at Villa La Joya was exactly that.

This day was extra special because it was planned and designed by Fidan of Designed Dream Events, someone we first connected with back in 2020 during lockdown. After years of dreaming about creating a wedding at Villa La Joya, she finally had the chance — and the results were magic.

Ceremony by the Sea

The Mexican Caribbean Sea set the stage for the garden ceremony framed by a circular arch of lush florals in soft pinks and vibrant tangerines by @styleme.events. Light wooden chairs lined the aisle, their rattan seats warm and natural against the turquoise ocean and the waving palms.

To keep guests comfortable in the afternoon sun, elegant white parasols waited on each seat — a thoughtful touch that blended practicality with style and made for great photos too.

Before guests arrived, the couple shared a first look on Villa La Joya’s iconic balcony. Jenny’s lace gown with a daring slit flowed in the sea breeze, while Vince’s sharp blue suit brought timeless elegance to the tropical backdrop.

Jenny and Vince’s vows were full of both laughter and tears, the kind of words that had everyone smiling through misty eyes.

Fresh, Fruity, and Full of Color

As the sun dipped lower, guests were welcomed into a reception that carried the tropical energy of the ceremony forward. Centerpieces of bold florals paired with fresh melons and oranges by Style Me Events brought color, texture, and a playful nod to summer. Super fresh vibes.

A mix of rectangular and circular white tables paired with light wooden chairs with rattan seats gave the space an inviting, organic feel.

At the center of it all, Jenny and Vince’s sweetheart table overflowed with the lush flowers of the day, framed by the repurposed circular ceremony arch — a beautiful focal point tying the design together.

An Entrance to Remember

When it came time for the bridal party to enter, they didn’t walk — they danced. Groomsmen and bridesmaids joined forces for a full choreographed number that had the crowd cheering.

Then Jenny and Vince made their own entrance, with Jenny now in a short reception dress with a big, beautiful statement bow on the back and comfy tennis shoes — the perfect look for what came next.

Together, they proved they were total dance pros, adding lifts, spins, and stunts into their routine. The dance floor was already on fire, and the night was just beginning.

The Dance Floor Was on Fire

From that first routine on, the party didn’t stop. The bridal party pulled off more choreographed numbers throughout the night, and guests jumped in; at one point, the celebration even went full breakdancing.

A transparent dance floor over the pool by Hercon Entertainment, became the ultimate stage. Floating candles cast a warm glow over the water, making every dance move feel magical.

Between routines, the smooth sounds of live saxophonist Ariel drifted across the night, giving the evening both elegance and energy.

Toasts and Laughter

In between all the dancing, guests paused to raise their glasses. Warm, heartfelt speeches were filled with love, gratitude, and plenty of laughs — the kind of toasts that remind everyone why they’re there, celebrating under the stars.

A Grand Finale

As the evening reached its peak, the sky lit up with a stunning fireworks display over the ocean by Pyrocaribe. Reflections danced on the waves, framing the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. A late-night spread of tacos and tequila appeared for the dancers still going strong — a casual, delicious nod to Mexico that kept the party alive well past midnight

Wedding Planner’s Perspective

For Fidan, Jenny & Vince’s wedding in Mexico was more than a beautiful event — it was proof of how seamlessly a planner and Villa La Joya can work together to create something extraordinary.

“The villa’s elegant charm, private oceanfront, and stunning views created the perfect setting,” Fidan says. “The Villa La Joya staff and manager were professional, kind, and a dream to work with. They made the entire process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.”

Her advice to other destination wedding planners? Choose a private wedding venue like Villa La Joya for exclusivity, beauty, and a supportive team. Embrace color — bold, tropical palettes are not only trending now but will carry into 2026. And most of all, trust your team so you and your couple can enjoy every second.

Brittany & Maik's Destination Wedding at Villa La Joya Mexico

Brittany & Maik's Destination Wedding at Villa La Joya Mexico

A Love Story That Started in Lockdown—and Blossomed by the Sea

Some love stories are written in the stars. Others are written across the hall.

Brittany and Maik met in March 2020, when the world stopped—and fate stepped in. They’d moved into the same condo building in Toronto, right across from one another.

What began as neighborly hellos turned into daily chats, shared meals, and something much more. In the stillness of lockdown, their own little universe formed—just the two of them at 39 Niagara Street.

From friendship to soulmates, they’ve been writing their story ever since.

The Proposal: Spoiler alert, she said yes

Backyard dreams and holiday magic ✨!

Early on, Brittany told Maik her dream proposal was simple: at home, in her parents’ backyard.

When her family revived their annual Christmas party in 2023, she was just excited to reconnect. Until her mom asked her to wait in her childhood bedroom for a “present.”

Her dad called her out—to a trail of rose petals and their imagined first-dance song. At the water’s edge, Maik was waiting with the easiest question she’s ever answered: Will you marry me?

Why choose the Riviera Maya for a destination wedding?

From hometown to home-away-from-home

They first planned a hometown wedding. But with family and friends across Canada, the Netherlands, and the U.S., most would need to travel anyway.

So, they leaned in—turning a one-day event into a full week of memories.

Mexico was the natural choice: sun, warmth, joy. Riviera Maya gave them everything—stunning beaches, incredible food, and time to connect with the people they love most.

The Villa La Joya Moment: Choosing the Perfect Wedding Venue

Found on TikTok, loved for life

Brittany discovered Villa La Joya while scrolling TikTok in bed. One look, and she knew. She showed Maik, who instantly agreed.

They reached out, and within days were speaking to Mike, the owner. That first call sealed it.

With Mike, Nancy, and Enrique leading the way, planning was smooth and stress-free. Every detail was handled with care, leaving them free to focus on what mattered most.

The Riviera Maya Wedding Ceremony

Simple, heartfelt, and perfectly perfect.

Brittany and Maik exchanged vows on the front steps of Villa La Joya—a backdrop that was simple, lovely, and full of charm. With the villa’s architecture framing the moment and the ocean just steps away, it felt timeless and intimate for all the guests in attendance.

Cocktail Hour: Villa la Joya Garden Party by the Sea

Garden views and family vibes

Guests moved into the villa’s gardens for cocktail hour, where cozy seating areas encouraged mingling and conversation. It was a relaxed, family-friendly celebration—complete with the sweet sound of babies giggling between clinks of champagne glasses.

Lush, romantic, and full of candlelight.

Brittany looked stunning in a figure-hugging, off-the-shoulder gown that showed off her enviable curves. Her hair was swept into a sleek bun—perfect for the heat and humidity, and a beautiful way to showcase her gorgeous face.

Maik complemented her look in a lightweight beige suit, perfect for the tropical setting.

They let Villa La Joya’s natural beauty shine, blending soft sage and ivory with rich wood, lush greenery, and endless candles. Dark wood tables and chairs were dressed with low runners of white flowers—perfect for easy conversation across the table. From ceremony to reception, the glow was warm, romantic, and entirely theirs.

The Reception: Get the Party Going on the Dance Floor

Warm, welcoming, and full of joy!

The reception felt like one big embrace—warm, welcoming, and alive with speeches that sparked both laughter and tears.

Later in the evening, Brittany changed into a sweet, short, and sexy dress—perfect for kicking up her heels and owning the dance floor. Surrounded by family and friends, the celebration carried on late into the night.

Most Memorable Moment

A love letter to family.

During the reception, Brittany and Maik took the mic to thank their families. Maik even spoke in Dutch, his family’s native language.

Most guests didn’t know the words—but they felt the emotion. It was love, pride, and gratitude in its purest form.

Advice from the Newlyweds

Timing, tan lines, and taking it all in.

Their tips for future couples planning a destination wedding:

– Build in extra time—especially for groomsmen.

– Consider the heat. May was hot, so a cooler month might be more comfortable.

They also loved marrying early in the trip. Their May 20 ceremony gave them the rest of the week to relax, celebrate, and relive every moment—without worrying about tan lines or timelines.

Thank You & Best Wishes to Brittany and Maik

Brittany and Maik, thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful beginning. From your quiet connection in 2020 to your vibrant celebration on Mexico’s shores, your love story is unforgettable. We wish you a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and quiet moments—wherever life takes you next.

Riviera Maya Wedding Vendor Gratitude

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who brought this day to life—from the Villa La Joya family to every planner, florist, and creative hand behind the scenes. You didn’t just create a wedding—you created a memory for a lifetime.

Long wooden tables were decorated with bright floral centerpieces, matching the tropical-meets-elegant wedding theme that works so magnificently at Villa la Joya.

The reception featured:

Dinner by Icaza Creativos Catering

Open bar with custom cocktails by Barras Libres

Live music and dance lighting by Disco Movil Cancun

Toasts, laughter, and Olympic-level groomsmen breakdancing

With the Caribbean Sea just steps away, guests danced with the ocean breezes under twinkling lights and enjoyed a night that was truly unforgettable.

Why They Chose a Villa Wedding in the Riviera Maya

“We didn’t want a resort wedding. Villa la Joya gave us everything we were looking for—privacy, beauty, and the ability to make the day our own.”
