Playa del Carmen Wedding at Villa la Joya | Aline and Patrick
The Playa del Carmen wedding of Aline and Patrick was a day full of joy, vibrant energy and a whole lot of love! We adored every single detail of this Villa la Joya wedding, from the lush florals to the sweet treat desserts, live music and fireworks, we can’t stop looking at the photos.
Beautiful bride Aline was kind enough to share their love story and her thoughts with us on planning their destination wedding at Villa la Joya, we hope you feel inspired!
The Love Story: Can you tell us the tale of how you two met?
Pat and I lived in many different cities in the US, and we ended up meeting in Houston, Texas when I was moving there from Chicago and Pat was actually leaving Houston to go to Alabama. Working for the same company complicated things at the beginning and eventually we decided to surrender to our feelings and became a couple.
Why did you choose a destination wedding in Mexico?
México was a great halfway distance between both families, Brazil and the US.
Pat and I had been in Mexico together before and we love the hospitality, the amazing food and of course, the breathtaking views of the ocean.
It was also the perfect destination that best enabled us to have some Latin and some American options. Our wedding was the perfect mix of the two cultures.
What made you decide on a Villa La Joya Playa del Carmen wedding?
It’s impossible not to fall in love with Villa la Joya when you first see it, even if it’s through online images. The venue is impeccable, gorgeous, spacious and very elegant.
We loved the idea of hiring and deciding who our vendors are without the hassle of additional fees. And we also enjoyed the flexibility that we gave to our guests to decide where they would like to stay in Playa del Carmen.
When we visited Villa La Joya, prior to the wedding, we couldn’t believe how real the beauty of the place really was. It was an emotional but reassuring feeling that Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen was the place we wanted to have the most special day of our lives.
What was your favorite/most emotional or funniest moment of your Villa la Joya wedding day?
As a couple, we both enjoyed the intimacy of the first look. Such a special moment, and the venue is just perfect. Villa la Joya creates such a romantic ambiance. We loved being able to see everything being set up from the balcony upstairs and all while we were just seeing each other for the first time.
The dance floor was definitely the most fun we had that entire night. Different cultures coming together to party and celebrate our union.
Any advice you’d like to share with other Villa la Joya brides?
“Do the pre-wedding visit. Go to the venue, experience it for what it is without being set up for the wedding day. Meet vendors there and just really enjoy the wedding planning phase. It goes by so quick, but it is a memory you’ll never forget.”
Felicidades a los novios, congratulations to the newlyweds!
