Luiza and Martin Get Married (Finally!): Perfect Private Villa Wedding in Mexico

"Luiza and Martin’s unconventional love story began in Los Angeles, back in 2015. Luiza is from Brazil and Martin is from California. They met through mutual friends at a shabby, unromantic dive bar called “The Daily Pint”. After discovering a shared music taste and mutual love for spicy food, red wine, and travel adventures, they knew they had a connection and something special started that night.”

Planning a destination wedding during covid wasn’t easy, but Luiza and Martin were meant to be and we were so happy to welcome them to Villa la Joya. After a couple of postponements, we finally got to meet this lovely couple and host their stunning private villa wedding in Mexico. Everything about this day was perfect, we loved working with the stylish ideas of the bride and groom and the expert wedding vendors in Playa del Carmen.

We started planning our wedding back in 2019. Our initial wedding day was April 4, 2020, but we had to postpone due to covid. Our second attempt was on June 4, 2021, and once again we had to postpone due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. The mental exhaustion of replanning a wedding almost made us give up but we knew how important it was for us to celebrate our union and after finding Villa la Joya, we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else so we persisted. After two postponements, we finally were able to celebrate our much-awaited wedding with our closest friends and family on February 10th, 2022 and it was the best day of our lives. As they say, third time's a charm! - Luiza

Gorgeous bride Luiza wore a knockout gown, captivating everyone with her natural beauty. The bridesmaids in seafoam green flowing dresses were absolutely dreamy with the Mexican Caribbean ocean backdrop. We got a little tear in our eye watching Martin hold his new bride for the first dance, a priceless moment under the sky tent, the twinkle lights and the breathtaking setting over the pool. You have got to see all the photos, totally inspiring wedding ideas!

Everything happened the way it was meant to be! Even after 2 postponements, we ended up having our dream day with the right people by our side.

Any advice you’d like to share with other brides planning a private villa wedding in Mexico?

Let go of control and trust the process. No matter how much you plan, things will never go the exact way you envisioned and that's ok! Take your time to find the right vendors because, at the end of the day, it makes all the difference having talented teams creating magic for you. I also encourage other brides to savor every moment of the day because it truly goes by so fast so be present and stick with your spouse throughout the night; you want to enjoy and create these life-long memories together!
