Stay Fresh and Cool and Hydrated with an Aguas Frescas Station
Riviera Maya wedding receptions are a marathon and not a sprint, help your guests stay hydrated with a refreshing “aguas frescas” station. “Aguas frescas” are a traditional Mexican drink, literally translated to “fresh waters” they come in a variety of flavors like lemon and jamaica (hibiscus flower). Set it up on a rustic table in a shady spot and you’ll always have an icy cold refresher on a hot Riviera Maya wedding day.

An Elegant Alternative to the Photo Booth, Let Nature Be Your Backdrop
Photo booths at wedding receptions are super fun and can be personalized in a million ways. This is a chance to see the magic of your day through photos of your guests. Using a natural backdrop like a wall of ivy and flowers is an elegant way to capture all their smiles and of course, fashion! Design a pretty “logo” for your day and add your own touches like rustic lanterns and floral arrangements in your color.

You can FEEL the love in the interwoven sounds of the instruments and the voice of a passionate singer. No need to understand Spanish to understand the songs, your heart will know. The festive sounds and their intricate and gorgeous costumes bring joy and light to your Riviera Maya wedding reception at Villa la Joya.
