Oh young love! Beautiful couple Leslie & Eleazar brought their nearest and dearest to their wedding in Mexico and we were thrilled to host the intimate “Crazy in Love” event at Villa la Joya, Playa del Carmen. The photos tell the story of love and a great fiesta, this was a super fun wedding! Ready to be inspired? Let’s go.

The “getting ready” with the bride and groom - Cozy family wedding in Mexico

Bride Leslie spent the morning getting ready with her family and best friends, a multi-generational gathering to start the day full of love. Leslie was aglow, her dark beauty set off in a daring and absolutely stunning wedding gown. The bridal bouquet by Cherry Blossom Florist  was a knockout, lush blooms in white and succulent greens, GORGE. 

The whole wedding party was super chic, all the groomsmen in their black tuxedos and groom Eleazar rocking a white tux with black lapels. The bridesmaids were in a range of dress styles that shared the same soft tone of blue and the maid of honor wore a soft pink gown, lovely! All the ladies carried the most beautiful bouquets for a Playa del Carmen wedding, and Cherry Blossom Florists really made Leslie’s floral dreams a reality. 

This was a family celebration, we love seeing kids at destination weddings! They bring a youthful energy and we were delighted to see the pretty little flower girl and handsome ring bearers all decked out in their finest. They looked amazing and were such a fun part of the day.

Leslie and Eleazar’s Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen wedding ceremony and reception

The wedding ceremony on the steps of Villa La Joya was just gorgeous, we love seeing how couples can turn the villa architecture into their own vision of romance and magic. The elegant backdrop, the lush greens and floral arrangements, every detail was beautiful. Leslie and Eleazar exchanged vows in a moving ceremony on the stairs, joining together forever “Crazy in Love”.


The wedding reception was a blast, we loved the details like the neon sign glowing “Crazy in Love” behind the sweethearts’ table and the light up floor. With tequila flowing and good spirits all around the guests rocked out on the dance floor. Leslie and Eleazar kicked it up and had a joyous celebration, so much unforgettable fun.

Why choose a wedding in Mexico? Why book a private villa wedding at Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen?

Why choose a wedding in Mexico?: We love going to Mexico for vacation and decided to give our family and friends a reason to go to Mexico as most of them have never been before. It was a great opportunity to make a vacation out of this beautiful event and have everybody get to know and enjoy Mexico. 


Why did you choose Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen for your wedding? It was the most beautiful venue I had seen online. After looking at many venues from all over the US and all over Mexico we found a picture of Villa la Joya on Instagram and it was the most stunning and elegant venue I had ever seen and on a beach?! Simply amazing.

Gracias y muchas felicidades Leslie & Eleazar!
