Celia was the easiest and best choice I could have made for my wedding day. Not only are her photography skills incredible, but she also kept me, the bride, calm during stressful moments throughout the day. She was professional, organized, and always knew exactly what needed to be done. She guided my husband and I through everything so she could capture the most natural and genuine photos. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and if I had to do it all over again, I would choose Celia Photography in a heartbeat!

I cannot express how much I am OBSESSED with my wedding photos. Amber and Alejandro did work beyond my wildest dreams!!!! She is a must hire for your wedding day. Her attention to detail and capturing moments is so beautiful. I truly cannot say enough good things. Looking through each picture I am screaming with joy. I have a million favorites but below are a few highlights. Thank you Amber and Alejandro for everything! You guys are artistic geniuses!

We had an amazing experience with the folks at Take it Photo. They were so kind, so flexible, and so much fun!! They never pressured us to be out of our comfort zone and captured shots so beautifully! We would highly recommend them. Their Instagram esthetic is to die for and was the main reason we decided to go with them for our wedding! Unfortunately, Lupe was unavailable for our wedding as they had another wedding at the same time. However, she literally made it a point to still come to our resort after the wedding to simply MEET us in person and congratulate us. It meant so much that she took the time to meet us even though she was not able to photograph our wedding It just shows how much they cared for every single one of their clients. During our events, they did their best to "blend in" and capture amazing shots of us and our guests without any issue. I would hire them again if I could!!

We hired Julieta for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. She was extremely kind and easy to work with. Even our guests liked her! I get compliments on our pictures all the time- highly recommend.

Martin was absolutely incredible! From our first meetings in the months leading up to our wedding to the actual day he always made us feel so comfortable, was a great communicator and knew exactly what our vision was for our wedding day. Martin captured so many beautiful moments that we will treasure forever! His photographs are stunning and we cannot recommend Martin enough! Thank you again Martin!

i can't believe how lucky i got! Madie and Alan are the BEST. I was a pile of nerves on my wedding day, i didn't like my hair, my makeup was literally melting off my face (LOL) but they made me feel beautiful and confident, and gave us all the time we needed. You can just tell they really love what they do. I don't consider myself to be photogenic but so far i ve loved the pictures the have send us of the wedding. they are really great people and so nice to be around. At the end of the night, we are dancing together!

Absolutely amazing experience! We hired this wedding photographer in Mexico for our big day, and it was the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, he was incredibly easy to deal with—always responsive, friendly, and professional. What stood out the most was his organic approach to capturing moments. Gerardo and his team effortlessly went with the flow, making everyone feel comfortable and natural. The photos turned out stunning, beautifully capturing the essence and joy of our wedding day. If you want a stress-free experience with breathtaking results, look no further. Highly recommend!

Truly the best photographers I could have dreamed of. They made me feel like my husband and I were professional models, it was so fun and natural!!! And OMG the photos. STUNNING

We got married on 2/22/25 at Villa La Joya and we couldn’t have done it without PMW. Over a year ago, we were interviewing wedding planners and as soon as we met Lorenzo, we cancelled the rest of our interviews. We knew he was “the one”— he just got us immediately and understood our vision. When we met Lorenzo, we didn’t have a wedding venue nor a date, and he helped us pick both out quickly. His expert guidance allowed us to quickly narrow down and select all our vendors and his advice never led us astray. Lorenzo even went above and beyond to help us find a hotel block and venues for the other events during our wedding weekend. Once we had all our vendors nailed down, we quickly met Emily, who handled literally everything for us. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful the PMW team was. My husband and I are both extremely busy with our careers, and the PMW team handled every detail of the wedding day for us making it as seamless as possible. They were our “boots on the ground”, handling everything from confirming vendors, creating timelines, relaying updates, coordinating payments, helping us make decisions, providing us guidance on every little detail, and more. I knew as long as Lorenzo & Emily were present, I didn’t have to worry because they “got” our vision and would make sure the rest of the vendors executed it. I know we were not the easiest clients — we had many different ideas and opinions that were all over the place — but Emily & Lorenzo never made us feel like our requests were annoying or outlandish. They got excited about all our ideas and made every little request come to life. They blended our styles seamlessly and the day came together perfectly. The day of the event, everything went off without a hitch. Their day-of team was extremely supportive, in a good mood, and never once got annoyed with us. They were professional and truly had every little thing handled. Thank you so much to Lorenzo, Emily, and the PMW team for bringing our dream wedding weekend to life!

We worked with Pink Balance Photography (Pepe & Francisco) for our wedding, and they were one of the best decisions we made. From the start, communication was seamless. They were super responsive, easy to coordinate with, and everything was handled over text without any stress or back-and-forth. Going into a destination wedding, that level of reliability makes a huge difference. On the day itself, they were incredibly professional and efficient. They gave clear direction when needed but never made anything feel staged or forced. We let them have full artistic freedom, and they absolutely delivered. They captured the energy, emotion, and overall feeling of the day so well, not just the posed moments but all the in-between ones too. We also did a first look and pre-ceremony family photos, and they guided that perfectly so we could actually enjoy our cocktail hour instead of spending it taking pictures. The final gallery was amazing. We received around 800 photos within just 2 weeks, which honestly exceeded expectations for turnaround time. The editing style was completely consistent with their Instagram, so there were no surprises there. We’re still waiting on the video (expected in May), but based on the photos and overall experience, we have full confidence it’ll be great. Overall, they are 100% worth the price. If you’re considering them, I wouldn’t hesitate.

If you are thinking about booking Novski, DO IT. They are absolutely worth it. I am very picky when it comes to photography, and I knew the one thing I was willing to spend money on for our wedding was photography/videography that I would love (we simplified our decor, flowers, etc. and it was still stunning). I spent days on days looking up photographers/videographers in Mexico leading up to our wedding, and only contacted a total of two, Novski being one of them. Ultimately, my husband and I decided to go with Novski because of their photography and film style. While the wait to receive our photo gallery and videos was a few months, when we finally received them, it made the wait absolutely worth it. We have received so many compliments from others stating these were the best wedding photos they'd ever seen, and our highlight and film videos are INCREDIBLE. Truly like watching a movie. Every friend/family member we've shown the films to has cried and gotten goosebumps while watching. I have rewatched our highlight film probably 100x already and still tear up every time - the song choice and film style captures our love so beautifully and makes us feel all the feels. We are so obsessed with the work we received. Book them, book them, book them.

There aren’t enough nice things I could ever say about Maggie and the SOS team. 5 months before my wedding, I had to unexpectedly find a new planner after still having almost no vendors booked. SOS swooped in and didn’t only save the day, they were a highlight of the whole planning process for me. Every vendor they recommended was phenomenal, and we threw a party for the ages. People 4 months later are still talking about it. The day of, they had a whole team manning every single detail. Things we hadn’t even planned for or discussed, like a change of shirt for my husband when he sweat through it, and ceremony fans for our guests. They planned all our budgets and tracked all payments — the often confusing international planning can be overwhelming and they helped immensely. I STRONGLY recommend hiring a local team like SOS, their connections and inside-scoop on Riviera Maya was necessary. One of my guests was so blown away by the wedding and their team, she’s now hired SOS for her own wedding next year in Cabo. I don’t know that you could think of a better testimony than that. The wedding they put together for me at Saasil Kantenah was STUNNING, and they understood my vision completely. But maybe most importantly, they were so fun to work with, so kind, incredibly thoughtful, organized and responsive. I’m so, so lucky I found them!!!

Sina made our wedding more amazing than we could have even imagined. Living in the United States, we were worried about doing a destination wedding, but Sina helped us every step of the way. She was very patient and collaborative in helping us find the perfect vendors for our special day. Decoration is my passion and I’m a very particular person when it comes to how I want something to look, and Sina was more than patient and help create exactly what I had in my head in real life. She’s very organized And she helps make sure each vendor knows exactly what it is that you’re looking for. She’s also super sweet and as easy to talk to online as she is in person.

Luisa and her staff at Weddings Riviera Maya truly made our dream wedding a reality. We were naturally nervous about planning everything from a distance, but she was our rock throughout the whole journey. She is organized, creative, and handled every detail with such care. It was the best experience we could have asked for—she is simply the best!"

Venue: Secrets Playa Blanca | June 21, 2025 This wedding was truly the most perfect day I could’ve imagined. I would not have been able to do this without you. Your support and design expertise carried me through this day!! I can’t wait to leave all the fabulous reviews for you guys. You deserve the world!

Michael & Keila was our best decision, since we contacted them they gave us spectacular attention and did everything needed to make all the planning and the actual wedding an easy and relaxing process they listened to all of our ideas and took charge of making them reality even with the day of the wedding finding solutions for problems that were out of our control like the weather not affect a single thing the day of the wedding they brought along a fantastic and professional team that were with us every step of the way and outdid all the expectations we had thank you to everyone that made our dream wedding a reality ♥️

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Michelle and Aleza at My Perfect Wedding. We decided to get married in Mexico on six months notice, and we were stressed about the timeline. From our first call, Michelle and Aleza were incredibly personable and exuded the calm we needed. Even though we were in a crunch, we wanted to take our time choosing the right venue. Michelle and Aleza bought all the extra time they could get, encouraged us to trust our gut, and never made us feel rushed. They genuinely listened to our ideas and worked to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy with all the details, from our pepper centerpieces to the mariachi band we had at cocktail hour. Additionally, as locals to Playa del Carmen, they know the Cancun and Riviera Maya region inside and out, so they have access to the best and most reliable vendors. In the end, we had three nights of events across two hotels. All the logistics went off without a hitch. I'd highly recommend using My Perfect Wedding. They'll make any Mexico wedding a dream-come-true!

Lucy is truly remarkable – detailed, honest, and fun to plan a wedding with. My wedding was a dream come true, and Lucy was the fairy that made it all happen. We received numerous compliments from guests who said it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended. When it came to choosing vendors, Lucy’s descriptions of their personalities and abilities were spot-on, allowing us to select those who would best fit our style. She even shared their Instagram accounts, which gave us a comprehensive view of their work. Her meticulous checklist kept us on track, and she was always available to answer our questions. One of Lucy's standout qualities is her bilingual ability, which was incredibly helpful since I am bilingual but my spouse is not. She also assisted by receiving items sent from the U.S. and handling customs, which was a huge relief. On the wedding day, having Karina by my side calmed my nerves and kept everything running smoothly. Every vendor Lucy recommended exceeded our expectations and delivered exceptional service. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose the same team without hesitation. My advice to future couples is to trust Lucy’s recommendations – she is an expert who can turn your wedding ideas into reality. I truly can't thank Lucy and her team enough for giving us the BEST day of our lives.
