Kesha & Kevin Wedding at Paamul Beach – Playa del Carmen
This wedding was a family affair: Kesha and Kevin knew Paamul as the parents of Kevin spent a few years living there . The joint families, friends and the kids came to celebrate one week of absolute bliss, crowned by the wedding day, on a warm February afternoon.
We love our clients and we enjoy the happiness on their faces when all is said and done. The work done before it, you do not see….
only the end result. But before that there are hours and hours of precious planning. It is my privilege to share all the tricks i have learned in 18 year of event planning with all of my clients.
Here, on this pages, i will let Kesha and Kevin talk and tell their story …. so you can see what happens before, during and after:
She said:
i would love to get married in Playa del Carmen and … I got married in Playa!
This is Kesha :
When we decided that we were having our wedding in the Playa del Carmen area, I was determined to do all of the work myself.
But I quickly found out that i was very overwhelmed and lost. It didn’t even occur to me to hire a wedding planner. I happened to be talking to a girl at work that I knew and found that her brother and sister-in-law had used Maria for their PDC wedding. I immediately emailed her and set up a Skype appointment with her almost 2 years prior to our wedding date.
When we spoke with her, she was so warm and friendly and calming. What really sold me was after describing to her what we were looking for, the first place she suggested was the one of the places that we were thinking about. My husbands parents had lived in Paamul(12 miles S of PDC) for several years and we had always said that if we did get married it would be there.
Since they had sold their place and moved back to the states, we weren’t 100% positive that we would still do it there. But it seemed like fate when she suggested Paamul, it just was meant to be that we were to get married there and Maria was the person that was supposed to make that happen. I was elated! and we worked at it for 22 months…..
Maria made my every wish come true!
Kevin: I wanted to make Kesha happiest: Maria respected all of our wishes and could see our exact vision in her head. She has amazing contacts and was able to facilitate any relationship with the vendors. We got the best flowers decoration and the DJ was incredible!
There is not one single thing that I would change about our day except to make it last longer. I not only had the wedding of my dreams to share with the people most special to me, I gained an amazing friend out of it. Much love Maria!!!
…. simply… happy ever after!
Kesha and Kevin

Krystal and Toni Wedding at Indigo Beach – Playa del Carmen
Krystal and Toni are adventure-seekers. They really are!
When i first met Krystal via Skype, i thought….what a beautiful vibrant woman!! i am so happy to organise her wedding: it’ll be FUN!
well that has been true.
From day 1 Toni and Krystal have been amazing fun. Planning their wedding from Queensland, Australia, they wanted to make sure that relaxed elegance and great party were going to be the Thing.
The couple first met in a bar near Kangaroo Point, Australia, and just six months later, they hopped in a car, drove 3,000 miles, and made a trip of a life time. Avid travellers and dedicated friends, they have invited their awesome families and friends to Playa del Carmen , some 14,300 Km away, for a party of their lifetime . It was evident that they are loved, as all the invited guests arrived, after 22 hrs of a long flight.
From their new base in Queensland, Krystal says they continued on new adventures, driving up the coast whenever they could escape work for a long weekend. But perhaps their greatest adventure took place in October, when they had the fabulous idea of getting a little fun in their wedding day.
For their wedding, the adventurous couple selected a destination like Playa because they wanted that everyone visited Mexico together, as the country holds a special place in their hearts.
The location chosen was the beach club Indigo Beach, on calle 16th and the beach. The amazing Haidee was there helping during the months before and on wedding day, as usual
There, Krystal, Toni and their 35 guests enjoyed a long weekend of festivities planned by the bride and us at Weddingsinplaya. We enlisted an all-star team of vendors, including Alessandro Bacchelli from AB photography who was on hand to capture every special moment and gorgeous detail, so keep reading to see all the creativity come to life. Seriously, get your Pinterest boards ready!
The couple decided to take a few pictures in the romantic garden of Lunata and she chose, on my advice, to get there on triciclo, a typical Mexican transportation which I decorated with all care!
There Toni was waiting for her with eyes closed and they enjoyed their first look.
After the return where both came back to Indigo on the Triciclo, the wedding took place with a friend officiant
The party was long and fun , thanks to Dj Diego Alvarado and the many feisty dancers that stayed until 1am!
What a party: Aussies know best….

Adrian and Lexi Wedding at Gran Coral
Two gorgeous people got married… and this is the day of their wedding seen through my eyes.
A bride is always beautiful. When her eyes sparkle with happiness her looks transcend. Lexi has an internal beauty and a big heart that shines and did not actually need much to enhance it. Though she really enjoyed her getting ready… I heard they had some bottles of prosecco!
The weather and the sky were perfect during the whole day. The ceremony was held by the father of the groom. His mother, with her crew of aunties, created the flower arrangements. Nothing is more personal than that!
Sometimes there are people very dear to the couple that are no longer with us. They can be present in an empty chair with a flower or in a pendant, like that day, attached to the bouquet. Love goes over the limits of the physical presence. It is in our hearts and in our memories. Grandpa was there that day.
The ceremony also had a trio of musicians playing classic songs to make the atmosphere even more romantic and during the cocktail there were mariachi tunes! Fiesta!!!!!
Champagne was offered at the entrance of the reception.
Little details everywhere.
The places was magnificent as always although it is the people that give it soul and make the party a success.
Tasty Mexican dishes were catered and designed exactly for their party, while tequila was everywhere. Of course the Mexican churro could not be missed!
Speeches and unexpected special songs made the night. I had to go and find a guitar somewhere as the guest who wanted to play did not bring one. Well, one of the waiters is a musician so we solved it in-house.
First dance, father and daughter and mother and son opened the party over the infinity dance floor!
We even had a “professional” diver!!!! You might have seen him in some Olympics (maybe the tequila party one!)
A beautiful cake. An excuse for more hugging and kisses
Bouquet and garter. Some girls were excited and others not so much…while Adrian did a good show to get his prize
With LOVE, Erica.
