The Perfect Gay Wedding in Playa del Carmen: Presenting Mr. and Mr. Newlyweds Chad and Christopher

Chad and Christopher are such a fabulous couple, we were super excited to host their gay wedding in Playa del Carmen at Villa la Joya! From getting ready together to the final dance battle with the kids on the dance floor, this day was elegant and fun and full of love. We send all our gratitude and “felicitaciones”, it is Pride Month as we publish and we are so grateful to have a chance to share this beautiful story. 

The wedding ceremony in the Villa la Joya garden was LUSH with the incredible creations of Cherry Blossom Flowers, a magnificent green arch with white flowers set a perfectly stunning scene to exchange vows and say “I Do”. With laughter and tears, Chad and Christopher tied the knot and became Mr. and Mr. forever and ever. “Better together”.

Kids at Weddings in Playa del Carmen? Totally welcome, bienvenido!

This was a family affair with kids and loved ones joined together to share the amor of Chad and Chistopher. Kids at weddings are always fun, they bring a joyful energy though they may try to steal the show. They enjoyed their bubbly drinks in the champagne glasses like the grown ups and looked super “guapo” in their wedding attire. They absolutely ruled the dance floor too, boundless energy that was contagious.

Elegant Playa del Carmen wedding details: Incredible florals, unique lighting, a cake too pretty to eat and churros!

The wedding reception by the Villa la Joya pool featured more knockout florals from Cherry Blossom, the sweethearts table was magnificent and the table settings were full of gorgeous roses and lilies in white.  We loved the lighting choices, so important and they really set a beautiful scene. The cake by Pasteleria La Migaja was a masterpiece. 

Fun speeches with more laughter and tears, a lot of Don Julio, Playa del Carmen wedding fireworks over the sea and a party on the dance floor and munching on churros, the perfect way to celebrate love and Pride.

Muchas gracias to Chad and Christopher and to all the Playa del Carmen gay wedding vendors who made this such a special day. Amor es amor and love is love and we are delighted to have played a part. We raise our glasses to you, “Salud” and all the best for a fabulous future together forever.

We just know you are going to loooove all the photos from this Playa del Carmen LGBT wedding. Moments of pure love, passion and magic captured by wedding photographer Martin Wilk at Villa la Joya. 


Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen was so pleased to welcome Erica and Kirsten and all their dear ones for a day of love, laughter and beautiful details. This couple is so clearly in love, it just shines through in every moment. Two gorgeous brides walked down the aisle lined with white roses to exchange vows beneath the stunning floral altar by Cherry Blossom Florists Playa del Carmen. We confess, we cried, it was so romantic and full of amor.

Playa del Carmen Wedding: A Magical Tale of Two Brides

After the emotional ceremony, the reception party really got started! The wooden tables and chairs of “antique elegance” settings were simply divine. The set-up was so cozy and welcoming. Candlelight and flowers set the scene for the inspiring speeches, a few tears were shed and a whole lot of laughter was shared.

Erika and Kirsten’s first dance was like something out of a movie, the light-up floor couldn’t compare to the glow of the brides as they twirled and embraced and kissed. The rest of the evening saw everyone on the dance floor having a great time and celebrating love with champagne toasts and tequila shots all around.
