Private Villa Wedding in Mexico :: Brianna and Michael

This gorgeous private villa wedding in Mexico was full of light and love and pretty details. Brianna and Michael tied the knot in a family affair and enjoyed an extended vacation with all their loved ones in Playa del Carmen. We loved hosting this Villa la Joya wedding, you must check out all the photos by Moni & Adri Photography, so much amor!

We love to travel and that’s why we decided to have a destination wedding. We had gone to Mexico for vacation and loved escaping the cold New Jersey weather during the winter and decided to have our wedding in December in Mexico. Our original plan was to have it on the resort but when we talked to our amazing wedding planner Kristee Stair from Fresa Weddings she showed us all the possibilities we could have at an off-site location. She had us check out Villa la Joya and my mouth dropped when I saw the pictures. I knew I needed to have my wedding there. - Bride Brianna

Emotional Wedding Moments: Tears, laughter and joy

The most emotional part of my wedding was not having my mom there who passed away. Kristee made sure to incorporate my mom into the ceremony by placing flowers on her chair as well as a picture and sign. It really made me feel like she was a part of my big day. 

Weddings are emotional, trust us, we know, we always carry tissues on wedding days. Brianna made her dearly departed mother part of the ceremony, a truly moving tribute. Tears of joy, lots of laughs, the speeches during the wedding reception at Villa la Joya were a testament to the incredible connection Brianna and Michael have with their loved ones.

Fun and fireworks on the dance floor at Brianna and Michael’s private villa wedding in Mexico

We wanted our guests to have a great time so we planned some surprises for them. We had a mariachi band as well as fireworks that we kept a secret from our guests. We had a week full of events for our guests which I think increased the quality time we had with them. We had a welcome party for our guests at our hotel, we did a sunset boat party, and a rehearsal dinner on the beach with everyone.

You can tell by the wedding photos that EVERYONE had a great time, the smiles and great energy shine through. A wedding reception in Mexico surely must include mariachis and a whole lot of boogie oogie woogie. The dance floor was jumping and the sky was alight with the surprise fireworks, a spectacular celebration of love! 

We are so happy to have been a part of Brianna and Michael’s private villa wedding in Mexico. Villa la Joya thanks you both and all your guests for a wonderful day, we adored every moment. We wish Brianna and Michael a lifetime of joy and happiness together.

Big thanks to our Playa del Carmen Wedding Vendors!
