Stunning Greek Orthodox Wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico
We would like to share a stunning Greek Orthodox Wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico that happened back in November. We were so happy to be a part of Eleni & Nick’s memorable day at Villa La Joya. Just wait until we show you all the details and photos by the amazing Greek photographer George Kossieris.
Let’s go back to 1 year ago, in the fall of 2018. The Newly engaged couple; Eleni and Nick visited Mexico with both their moms and decided that Playa del Carmen was the best choice for their Destination Wedding.
They held their beautiful wedding at the Villa la Joya. Eleni got ready with her mother and bridesmaids at the Condo, where they were being beautified by the professional makeup artists of Sara Tamargo & Team, meanwhile, Nick and his boys got ready at the Presidential Suite in the Grand Hyatt.
The Greek Orthodox Wedding Ceremony
The Greek Orthodox ceremony was held at the elegant entrance of Villa la Joya. We decorated the aisle with a white runner filled with a lot of baby breaths flowers and candles from the sides. During the ceremony, there were a lot of traditional rituals of the Greek wedding ceremony, such as the candles with white ribbons, and the guests were offered the koufeta; sugar-coated almonds.
After the ceremony, all guests were invited to the amazing oceanfront garden for a cocktail hour; they were received with a refreshing signature drink “spicy margarita” and delighted their ears with the melodies of the saxophone while contemplating the astonishing decoration and flowers around them by Dezibel Event Productions.
The Wedding Reception
The reception was on the terrace at Villa la Joya around the pool with the best ocean view. The priest gave the blessings before the dinner started and Chef Gourmet Soberanis served a delicious 4 course Luxury plated menu.
The guests and the couple took photos at the statement photo wall. Besides that, they enjoyed the amazingly decorated extravagant sweets table by Lluvia de Azucar. Let’s not forget about the surprise fireworks for the groom that the bride organized secretly. Perfect romantic moment for both of them.
The couple brought their Greek DJ (and with the support of the Team of Plugin audiovisuals) all guests enjoyed the night dancing. Another fun, symbolic way to congratulate the couple on their new marriage was the Greek Wedding Dollar Dance.
We are so grateful to Eleni and Nick to be a part of their beautiful Greek Orthodox Wedding. We wish you both all the best and lots of love and happiness.
