Destination Wedding of Haizel and Justin

“OUR WEDDING DAY WAS LITERALLY A DREAM AND IF I CAN LIVE ONE DAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IT WOULD BE THAT DAY” – HAIZEL

Destination wedding planner Anna Schriemer from Paradise Weddings & Events did a great writeup on her blog for this weeding!

“Haizel and Justin got married on July 6th, 2019, in sunny Playa del Carmen, Mexico, at the beautiful Villa la Joya. Their overall vision for the wedding theme was natural – white with a set of tropical greenery and the ideal amount of gold details. The fact that they’ve asked all of their guests to wear all-white puts a happy smile on my face every time I look at the photos. What a true tropical paradise, am I right?” Read the rest of the story.

Romantic Valentine's Day Wedding at Villa La Joya

Romantic Valentine's Day Wedding at Villa La Joya :: Heather & Tyler

Heather and Tyler met at a friend’s wedding a couple of years ago and it was love at the first sight.

The proposal was very romantic…..Tyler the groom is a farmer, so he used a tractor to write a message in one of his fields. He then asked Heather if she would like to go flying with one of their friends to survey the property. They flew over the waterfalls and around their property.  As they flew over the fields there was a message that read “ Heather will you marry me?” When Heather saw it she turned and look at Tyler and he was on his knee on the plane with the ring!

As per their planner Natalia’s @weddingsonthebeach.com.mx  recommendation this adorable couple decided to tie the knot on “Valentines Day” the most romantic day of the year and they had everything you can imagine to celebrate the day, heart shape strawberries, delicious chocolates, fireworks, and the most romantic menú and gorgeous floral you can imagine. They decided to celebrate big time!!!

Stunning Greek Orthodox Wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico

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.

Jaclynn and Bryan"s Destination Wedding

In Jaclynn’s words:

“Our favorite part of having a destination wedding was the intimacy of the group. Having less people there and having them there days before the wedding made the time spent at our actual reception way more enjoyable than your average wedding that u spend all of your time greeting guests and not enjoying the time with your new spouse. Also, the beautiful atmosphere and relaxed feel that u really cannot get back at home.”
