Intimate Wedding in Playa del Carmen - Haley & Andrew

Intimate Wedding in Playa del Carmen: Haley and Andrew Joined in Love

Congratulations to Haley and Andrew for celebrating their love and the union of their families in an intimate wedding in Playa del Carmen at Villa la Joya. Simple, elegant and full of romance, Haley and Andrew tied the knot in a destination wedding in Mexico surrounded by their closest family and friends. This is what wedding dreams are made of, gorgeous details and a couple radiating love. Ready for some real wedding inspiration?

Our in-house team of Villa Planners worked with the best Playa del Carmen wedding vendors to create a magical day for Haley and Andrew. All you need to do is look at the photos of the faces of the bride and groom as they exchange their moving vows and you can see that they are madly in love and in perfect harmony. 

Why plan a destination wedding in Mexico? Why choose a Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen wedding?

We know that a destination wedding in Mexico at Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen is an ideal choice for tying the knot, but we always like to ask our newlyweds why they chose us for their special day. We reached out to Haley and Andrew and here is what they shared with us about their reasons for planning an intimate wedding in Playa del Carmen at Villa la Joya. 

Why choose Mexico for your destination wedding?

Mexico will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was one of the only places we could travel to during COVID, so it was where we spent our first two trips together abroad. Mexico was where we spent our first New Years Eve together, and where we celebrated Haley’s 30th birthday.  It was where much of the love we now share grew into what it is today!  There’s something about the beauty and energy of Mexico that we both gravitate to. We wanted to share our love for each other with our friends and family in a place that means so much to us. We couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else!

Why choose a Villa La Joya Playa del Carmen wedding?

There are so many reasons why we chose Villa La Joya.  First and foremost, the beauty of the estate!  We also wanted the scenic views of the ocean with the elegance of a proper venue. We loved that we could make the space our own, which our wedding planner Nancy and all of our vendors made happen! Villa La Joya is tucked away in the perfect location. It’s just a short drive from the airport with lots of hotel options. Villa La Joya is a hidden gem, and we feel so lucky to be able to say we got married there!

Delicious details and a warm and welcoming setting made for love

Everything about this Villa la Joya wedding was designed to be warm and inviting to all in attendance. We loved the circular arch of dried flowers and roses by Cherry Blossom, lush and a little bohemian and a perfect backdrop for the ceremony and reception. Bride Haley was simply stunning in a lacy gown and her natural beauty was accentuated by the talented makeup artist Sara Tamargo. The food was divine, with catering by Gourmet Soberanis and the AMAZING cake and desserts by Lali Pasteles, it was rave reviews all around for the delicious fare of this intimate wedding in Playa del Carmen.

Any advice for other couples planning a wedding in Mexico?

Use Villa Planners!  Nancy and her staff were incredibly wonderful, and they know the venue so well, it definitely helped a lot since we don’t live in Mexico.  Also, come for a site visit if you can.


We rented a couple of villas in Playa Paraiso next to Villa La Joya for our families and it was nice to have everyone so close.  It also made our wedding day so much easier because we were already there and didn’t have to worry about transportation, etc.

We did most of our photographs before the ceremony, so we were able to enjoy most of our cocktail hour, which was nice.

All of our vendors were amazing; we highly recommend them!  

Muchas gracias, big thanks and wishes for a lifetime of happiness

Destination Wedding in Playa del Carmen - Shambra and Matthew’s Cozy Family Gathering of Love

This destination wedding in Playa del Carmen may have been small but the love was mighty and overflowing as Shambra and Matthew tied the knot at Villa la Joya. This was a cozy and intimate family affair with the couple’s four adorable children celebrating mom and dad’s big day while Matthew’s father officiated the ceremony. With emotional moments and a whole lot of fun, we were honored to host this event and welcome this lovely family to Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen.

Destination Wedding Trends in Fashion and Decor at Villa la Joya

Shambra and Matthew’s Villa la Joya wedding was SO PRETTY, soft and pink and elegant with a warm and welcoming feel. Bride Shambra was just glowing, her natural beauty and blonde good looks were enhanced by makeup artist Zoe Elizabeth and echoed in her three daughters. The getting ready time with the girls was such fun in their matching floral robes, special moments shared that they will never forget. With their lacy white dresses next to mom’s gorgeous gown they made the prettiest little bridal party ever. Matthew and his son were looking sharp in blue suits to round out the gorgeous family fashions.

One of our favorite Playa del Carmen florists created a magical scene for this destination wedding ceremony. Pink and white flowers flowing throughout the garden, a stunning arch and an aisle lined in flower petals, Vanessa Jaimes floral design definitely knows how to set a romantic scene. The table runner of flowers just floating over the edge really knocked us out and was perfect for the warm vibe of this intimate Villa la Joya wedding reception.

Small Guest List, BIG Love and Fun: Destination Wedding Reception at Villa la Joya

You don’t need a crowd to have a great party, the intimate destination wedding of Shambra and Matthew was a fabulous fiesta. Wedding planners Paradise Weddings and Events are so fantastic at putting together unique receptions that perfectly match the vision of the bride and groom. With games for the kids and a churro station from Los Pockets Mexico, the mood was light and fun.

The wedding reception dinner of surf and turf was catered by Gourmet Soberanis, a delicious celebration of cuisine under the fairy lights in the garden. Pasteleria Migaja created the two incredible wedding cakes, one traditional tiered cake and one FUN cake in the shape of a bottle of the couple’s favorite tequila, Don Julio. With a lot of dancing, laughs and toasts, this was a wonderful destination wedding at Villa la Joya.

We send our most enthusiastic congratulations and thanks to Shambra and Matthew and their beautiful family, may you have a long life together full of happiness and joy.
