Plan Your Riviera Maya Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

My husband and I hired Celia for our wedding in Cabo and we are so happy we decided to have her photograph our special day. We have been getting so many compliments on our wedding photos from all of our friends, family, coworkers, etc!!! We highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!

We highly recommend Elegance Photographie! After looking through countless portfolios, Clem’s work stood out to us right away—his talent is truly remarkable. He has such a gift for capturing genuine emotions and telling a story through his photography. The way he uses different angles and lighting brings each moment to life in such a unique and beautiful way. We chose the 8-hour package with two photographers and two videographers, and it was honestly the best decision we made. The wedding day flew by so fast, and we really wanted to make sure we had as much captured as possible. Clem and his team were incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with. They were also very responsive throughout the entire planning process—communication was never a problem, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’ve already received a sneak peek of a few photos and our “coming soon” video, and we are blown away. The editing is stunning—so polished, emotional, and cinematic. We truly cannot wait to see the full gallery and final video. If you’re looking for an amazing photography and videography service for your wedding or any special occasion in Cancun, Mexico, we definitely recommend Elegance Photographie. You will not be disappointed!

Take It Photo has an amazing talent and eye for style that made our photos beautiful but also editorial, sweet and warm. Everything from the getting ready photos to the ceremony to some stage family photos after to the reception to dancing photos once it was dark… We’re all stunning and captured so many special moments. You can feel the emotions and the laughter in these photos. We are the fourth set of friends in a string of friendships to use this photographer. We feel so lucky that we had them.

Absolutely exceeded our expectations!! We will absolutely recommend Tulum Wedding Photos to any of our friends and family planning weddings in/near Tulum. Their service, talent, and communication before, during, and after the wedding were outstanding. We are SO happy we came across them on Instagram.

I can’t say enough good things about Julieta! Her professionalism, her photos, her kindness, EVERYTHING! She made us feel so comfortable and never felt in the way, I hardly noticed her so I could focus on the wedding. And her work isn’t just about capturing the events of the day but also capturing the emotion and energy of the wedding. It’s art. Book her!!!

Martin photographed our Cancun destination wedding October 22, 2022. From the first zoom call to the day of, Martin made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the whole process. He asked many questions to get to know us as a couple and was very thorough in explaining his day of process. We knew what we’d seen of his work fit with what we wanted, but the final product still managed to blow us away! He and Vicky were fabulous to work with - so nice and fun - but also able to get all the shots without feeling like they were in the way. Our guests all raved about them as well. The sneak peek came lightning fast and we were very pleased with how quickly the entire gallery was ready. Lastly, I’d like to commend how well they worked with our hired video team. They’d not worked together in the past, but were able to work seamlessly together and assist each in getting what they needed. The communication was kind and collaborative. Not everyone can do that. Kudos. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much, Martin!! We already blew up two photos into poster size prints for our apartment. I smile every time I see them.

WOW!!! I am absolutely in awe. We are so happy we found Francesco & Giuseppe. They truly captured not just how our wedding looked, but exactly how it felt. Pink Balance was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and their energy and personalities were absolutely infectious. By the end of the night, we were genuinely sad to see them go. Thank you both for your incredible talent, your energy, and for giving us something we’ll treasure forever!!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision of having lite weddings shoot our special day. They captured every moment and detail, big or small. The photographers were so kind, easy to work with and really made sure to get the best shots. The quality of the photos are amazing. We are so impressed! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

My husband and I started working with PMW in March 2022 after we had booked our venue. We were planning a wedding at Villa La Joya in Playa del Carmen for 200 guests. Lorenzo, Emily & Gustavo were always a text or Whatsapp message away for any questions or concerns that we had (even when Lorenzo would be visiting Italy)! It was SO easy picking out vendors with their help. When a vendor was a little out of budget, they would find another similar that was in range. If they hadn't heard of a vendor, they will do their own research to see what they can find. Once we picked the vendors, it was smooth sailing! 3 months away from the wedding, we had a zoom meeting, and I even told them, "I don't feel like I'm as stressed as I should be." Wedding day came along, and Ben and I could not believe how PERFECT the day was. I literally had no stress or anxiety the day of. After the wedding, they also put all of our things together and just packed it into a van for us, so we didn't have to do anything! Thank you so much, Lorenzo, Emily & Gustavo. Our wedding was literally a dream come true and it is all thanks to y'all!! Ben and I wish we could just re-live that night over again because it was so perfect!!

Mel, Fred, and their entire team were hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding weekend in Riviera Maya. From the moment they arrived, they brought such an incredible energy that made everyone feel comfortable, excited, and truly present. My guests and bridal party still talk about them to this day and how amazing they were throughout the entire weekend of festivities. They didn’t just show up and do their job, they became part of the experience in the best possible way. And now… after receiving our photos, I am honestly speechless. I have been crying all day going through them. They captured everything so beautifully, so candidly, and in such an artistic way that it truly does the entire weekend justice. Every single moment, big and small, feels alive again through their work. The emotions, the details, the energy… it’s all there. If you are even considering booking them, do it. They are worth every single penny and more. It would genuinely be a mistake not to have them capture your wedding. I cannot recommend Mel and Fred enough.

Sina provided wonderful support during the planning and on our wedding day itself! She was always available and encouraged our wishes and ideas. Our wedding remains an unforgettable day, and our guests, as well as ourselves, were able to relax and enjoy the celebration! Thank you, Sina, for your support, and we wish you all the best for your future! Warmest regards from Switzerland

We couldn’t have chosen a better team than Novski. Planning a destination wedding, we were initially nervous about hiring someone in another country without ever meeting them, but they exceeded every expectation and made us feel completely at ease from day one. They understood exactly what we wanted: candid, natural moments with a strong focus on our ceremony, and they executed it flawlessly. Nothing felt forced….just real, beautiful memories captured perfectly. Looking back at our photos and video, we can feel every moment all over again. We’re so grateful to Novski for capturing our day so perfectly!

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!

I have worked with Essenza for numerous client weddings, and they are fantastic every time! Their communication is great, and pricing is competitive. I'm always happy when the resorts work with Essenza, as I know it will be a great experience! - Dana | Destination Wedding Planner & Travel Advisor

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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mich as my wedding planner, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the very beginning, Mich's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. He took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life flawlessly.

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 ♥️

Dream Wedding all thanks to Luisa and her team! Luisa Clemente is heaven sent! I truly could not have pictured planning this wedding without her! She was able to take all my ideas and my vision for my wedding and bring them to life. We sat on calls for hours really nailing it down. I also now consider her a friend. She is super personable and easy to talk to. She is also the best problem solver. She overall helped me save money and found the BEST vendors for my wedding at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. Her team member, Angeles, helped me so much on my wedding day, she made sure I was hydrated and helped me find things I was looking for, anything I needed she was right there. She also took pix of me and helped calm my nerves, she was a true Angel on my wedding day! I cannot believe how perfect and beautiful everything came out, I could relive that day over and over!!! 10/10 cannot recommend Weddings Riviera Maya more!!!
