Why choose Mexico for your wedding? Getting married in Playa del Carmen in times of covid

We asked Jordana to share some of her thoughts on her Playa del Carmen wedding at Villa la Joya, here is what she had to say:

“Our original plan was to have a big wedding at a hotel where we live in Seattle, but at the time we were trying to plan everything, COVID was still a huge concern and the restrictions for big events were pretty strict. We decided doing it in Mexico would take some of the stress away since we knew we would have less guests and COVID restrictions wouldn't be as big of an issue. We also love to travel and we thought it would be so fun to go on vacation with our closest friends and family.”

“Ooo this is a tough one. I think my favorite moment is our first look. It was so special, just the two of us (and the photographers of course). But it was filled with so much love and emotion. My other favorite moment from the day was seeing my parents dancing and enjoying themselves. They paid for the entire wedding and have been my biggest fans my whole life, always making my dreams come true. To see them so happy and having so much fun really made my heart so full.”
