Need ideas? At Villa La Joya, we work with the best wedding vendors in the Riviera Maya to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s fresh churros, festive piñatas, or even a donkey in a flowered hat, we’ve got the connections to make it happen.
3. Prepare for Weather– and Epic Photos!
The Riviera Maya weather is breathtaking year-round, but it’s always smart to plan for sunshine and occasional tropical showers. Consider adding shade, fans, and hydration stations to keep your guests comfortable, especially during warmer months.
At Villa La Joya, we’ve seen it all and have solutions for any weather scenario. If rain decides to make a surprise appearance, don’t worry - rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck and often results in gorgeous, dramatic photos.
