Victoria and Rico, Hacienda Playa Paraiso, Tulum Destination Wedding

June 14, 2017April 26, 2015

The beaches of Tulum are famous around the world and with good reason. The sand is powder white and soft, the water is clear and the winding palms sway with every gentle beach breeze. There is no question why Victoria and Rico knew at first sight, that they wanted to bring their closest friends and family to this slice of paradise for their wedding.

It’s hard to go wrong with decor when you have such a naturally beautiful venue, but the turquoise and white really was a great choice, matching the surroundings perfectly.

The wedding took place at a private villa, Hacienda Playa Paraiso. Special guests included the couples two adorable pups!

Chef Ruben Lopez created a delicious gluten free menu for the group and the party, complete with a wedding piñata, went late under the star filled sky!

Congratulations Victoria and Rico!

Jordan and David, Villa Bellamar, Destination Wedding in Akumal

June 14, 2017September 9, 2014

We could list a million reasons why any couple should consider getting married in the Riviera Maya. Besides the obvious ones like gorgeous weather and breathtaking scenery, there are several other very special qualities this area has inherited as a result of its growing international population. It’s these qualities; the beauty, acceptance, respect and diversity, that brought Jordan and David along with with closest friends and family, from Texas and beyond for their beautiful beachside nuptials in Akumal.

The celebration was held at Villa Bellamar, a gorgeous luxury retreat in Akumal, only 20 minutes outside Playa del Carmen. The quiet beach was the perfect backdrop for this intimate gathering.

We loved the choice of decor for this event. Pops of blue and violet with marine accents made it feel romantic and masculine and fun with touches of quirky Mexican art kept it light and festive.

We are proud supporters of love. Love that comes in all shapes, sizes and forms. Playa del Carmen has a wonderful gay community, and is home to one of the largest gay festivals in North America, the Arena Festival, so it is no surprise to us why we are seeing more and more couples choosing our home as their spot for an unforgettable destination wedding. And we are honoured they choose us to be a part of it all!

Congratulations and Gracias Jordan and David! We wish you all the love in the world!
Thank you to Diego Munoz for the gorgeous pics!

A little rustic, a touch of bohemian and a splash of Mexico makes this beach wedding at Blue Venado Beach Club the beauty that it is!
Andrea and Hectors intimate celebration was true perfection. Pretty purples, gorgeous flowers, festive, whimsical decor and a happy couple surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Love was all around!

The ceremony was sweet, followed by a delicious meal and stunning cake. The party got started when the costumes came out and everyone let loose on the dance floor. And for a special touch, a moonlit balloon release!

Special guests, the pups!

Felicidades Andrea and Hector!!!
