A Romantic Destination Wedding at Villa la Joya

Love has a way of bringing people together when they least expect it. For Janice and Adam, fate led them to a small dive bar in a new city - where they realized they had unknowingly shared the same college campus eight years earlier. From that moment on, everything felt effortless, like they had known each other forever.

A year later, their love story brought them to a Riviera Maya engagement, where Adam got down on one knee under the tropical sky and asked Janice to spend forever with him.

Why choose the Riviera Maya for a destination wedding?

Janice and Adam always imagined a wedding with warm ocean breezes, soft white sands, and an intimate, magical setting. The Riviera Maya checked every box. Stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and endless sunshine -it was the perfect backdrop for the next chapter of their love story.

Villa la Joya: Private, Elegant, and Unforgettable

When it came to choosing a wedding venue in Mexico, they wanted something beyond the typical resort experience. They were looking for privacy, exclusivity, and a place that felt uniquely theirs. The moment they discovered Villa la Joya, they knew it was the one!

A private estate by the ocean, Villa la Joya blends beachside beauty with upscale elegance. With breathtaking ocean views, lush gardens, and timeless architecture, it created the perfect balance of luxury and intimacy - where they could celebrate with their closest friends and family without distractions.

The Wedding Day: Emotions, Elegance & Unforgettable Moments

Janice and Adam’s wedding was classic and sophisticated, with a pristine white palette and lush greenery that felt timeless yet modern. Every detail reflected their vision of a refined, romantic celebration.

The most emotional moment? The vows. Hand in hand, they promised forever and ever, surrounded by the people who mattered most. It was real, raw, and unforgettable.

The Only Thing They’d Change? More Time for Photos!

If Janice had one piece of advice, it would be to schedule more time for photos. The day flew by, and while their photographer captured incredible moments, she wishes they had carved out just a little extra time to soak it all in.

Janice’s Advice for Future Destination Brides

From the moment Janice walked down the aisle, she radiated modern elegance in her Alyssa Kristin gown, paired with her chic Harlo AU shoes. Every element -from the lush floral arrangements to the elegant stationery - was carefully chosen to reflect their personal style.
