Wedding Planner Wedding Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen
Villa la Joya was excited to work together with beautiful bride Alexis and her handsome groom Ronnie. Alexis is a NYC wedding planner so we knew right away we could talk the same language and that this couple would have some exciting ideas for their destination wedding in Mexico. After years of planning other people’s weddings, it was time for Alexis to shine and celebrate her love with Ronnie surrounded by the warmth of family and friends.
The “getting ready” photos show just how fun this couple is. Alexis had her girls around her and they not only captured magazine-worthy fashion moments but they let loose and had some laughs. Groom Ronnie and his guys shared champagne toasts and had some fun in the limo with the light-up rainbow roof. The “first look” moment is one of our top faves ever, the smile on Ronnie’s face is about a million watts of love.
Destination Wedding in Mexico: Romantic Wedding Ceremony by the Sea
Walking on water, walking on sunshine, walking on air! The ceremony set-up design was breathtaking, we loved seeing the transformation of the Villa la Joya pool and gardens. The white aisle floating on the pool, the circular arch of luscious flowers, the velvet blue chairs, and the parasols to give guests a little shade, there are just too many details, we could go on and on.
After declaring their forever love in a moving ceremony by the sea, the newlyweds joined family and friends for a cocktail hour in the front courtyard of Villa la Joya. Signature cocktails were a big hit, we loved the special stir sticks honoring their cute little pooch! Tacos and “botanas” and smiles all around, the party was just getting started.
Joyous destination wedding Mexico reception: Colorful, dynamic, elegant, and oh-so romantic and fun
After the cocktail hour, guests were invited to return to the pool and gardens which had been transformed into an elegant reception area. The table settings were so lush, the royal blue and gold with the dried boho chic centerpieces, just…well, frankly it left us speechless. Everyone enjoyed a delicious Mexican buffet dinner before kicking off the emotional and hilarious toasts to the newlyweds. Tears and laughter and moving words of shared memories and toasts to the future had everyone captivated.
The rest of the evening was all about getting down on the dance floor, tequila shots and champagne toasts, cake and churros and a million laughs. Alexis and Ronnie sure know how to throw a party, this was a Mexico destination wedding reception that will never be forgotten!
