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

Mel and Fred are THE BEST. They perfectly captured our vibe and couldn't have asked for better photographers. They also have the most amazing energy, which is exactly what you want on such a joyous day. I love their eye for composition and their ability to tell a story through still photography. They were also great at giving direction, which I desperately need because I can be pretty awkward in front of the camera. If you think I look good in these photos, it's truly because Mel. She knew how to make me look good. If you're getting married in Riviera Maya, I strongly recommend Memorybox for your photography. And even if you're not getting married in Riviera Maya, I would fly them to where ever you are getting married because they are simply the best. Believe me, you will want them at your wedding (no matter where it is).

Juli was amazing with taking our photos and letting us live in the moment of our wedding still. She took so many sweet photos that we will cherish forever! She was very sweet and made us all feel comfortable and calm the whole time. Highly recommend her for all your photos!

Celia was recommended to me by my wedding planner for my wedding in May 2024. I cannot praise her and her team enough. On the day of our wedding, her team exceeded all expectations in making me, my family, and our guests feel at ease. They provided fantastic ideas and captured the most beautiful and intimate moments on film. One aspect of Celia that stood out to me was when we spoke before the wedding and I expressed my concerns about not being photogenic. She reassured me by saying, "I don't work with models, I work with real people. Don't worry, we will help you feel comfortable and guide you to look and feel beautiful." I was touched by her words, and she truly delivered on her promise! I wholeheartedly recommend Celia and her team, as their service and final product exceed expectations.

From the moment we clicked on Take it photos Instagram, and blog, we immediately knew they were the photographers we wanted for our Mayakoba wedding. This feeling was solidified after meeting Lupe, and Augustin in person. They made us feel so confident in understanding the style of photos we wanted, and what we wanted out of our wedding photos. Augustin and his team were so patient with us on our wedding day, and ensured we got every photo we wanted. I was BLOWN away at the quality, and angles they were able to get without even noticing them. I am so thankful we decided to use Take it photo. They truly captured our wedding in a way that gives us feelings of being back at our special day. We are constantly reminded by friends, and family about how great our photos turned out. I truly couldn't recommend them more.

We had the BEST experience with Thamm & Nik for our wedding in February! From the moment we met them, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease. They are such a wonderful couple to work with and made taking photos feel effortless, fun, and natural. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and they captured every special moment so perfectly. Looking through our gallery brings us right back to our wedding day. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful we chose them. If you’re looking for photographers who are incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely fun to be around, we can’t recommend Thamm & Nik enough!

The service of elegance photographie was great. The photos are very beautiful. Clement did a great job.

From the moment we had our consultation with Gerardo, we knew we were in the best hands with him. Gerardo is extremely kind, a great listener and would do anything for his clients to be happy. He made us feel totally comfortable and confident and we felt truly cared for by him. He has a real, raw talent for photography and an eye for incredible photos. His work ethic is incredible, and he got EVERY shot that we hoped for. We are SO grateful that we had the opportunity to work with him. If you have the opportunity to work with him, I would really encourage you to do so. Thank you for everything Gerardo!

We couldn’t be more pleased with our photographer Alejandro. He is extremely professional from beginning to end, attentive to every detail and truly dedicated to his craft. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot — and we are definitely not models, yet somehow he captured us so naturally and beautifully that the photos turned out beyond stunning. Thank you for giving us memories that will be treasured and cherished forever.

There is no way our wedding would have been as successful without the help of our amazing wedding team – led by Lucy Gallagher Boutique Weddings! They provided us with a wedding planning portal to update your wedding requests, decor & layouts, guests lists, amongst other items leading up to the wedding which kept us extremely organized. From our constant changing of venues to vendor recommendations to bringing our wedding design inspiration come to life, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Our families and friends cannot stop raving about how amazing and beautiful everything turned out and how attentive Lucy, Arlenis, and the planning team were! Lucy has amazing organizational skills for planning and day-of coordinating, however, be prepared to come with your own design inspiration, hirer a separate designer, or work with vendors on design elements.

We had such a wonderful experience with this photographer! From the very beginning, they put so much care into making sure our photos were beautiful, natural, and captured the feel of the occasion perfectly. They have a real talent for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it absolutely shows in the final images. Our event ended up running behind schedule, and they could not have been more patient, accommodating, or professional. Instead of making us feel rushed, they remained flexible and kind throughout the entire experience. They also went the extra mile afterward to help with editing and make sure we were completely happy with our photos. Even one year later they are still going above and beyond to assist with editing the photos to preserve our memories. The combination of talent, professionalism, flexibility, and genuine kindness really sets this photographer apart. We ended up with gorgeous photographs and an equally positive experience working with them. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about both their work and their clients, I highly recommend booking them. We absolutely would again!

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!"

Me and my wife could not have been happier with the whole experience. Lorenzo, Emily, and Gustavo are a great team with plenty of connections and experience. They had to deal with us for a whole year as we began our planning early. And even on wedding day I could see them going above and beyond to make sure everything was looking fantastic. They will advocate for you, and they won't bail on you. They went to everyone of our wedding events and stayed quite a long time. I can't thank them enough for how everything turned out. You can count on this team, trust that they have your best interest in mind. Thank you PMW!

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!

Our wedding weekend was extra special because of the lovely team at SOS who not only were very attentive to all the details, but were the nicest team that did an astounding job at making it all happen for us. They went above and beyond to make sure we were always taken care of. Having a foreign wedding and planning this on different timezones, we were in great hands with Michael, Elsa, Kei and the SOS team. The communication was top notch between us, SOS and the vendors, they were very organized and ran the show like clockwork. They catered to our specific needs and timing of everything. It was beautiful to see the magic they do and for us to enjoy the night. SOS knows how to plan an unforgettable night and we couldn't be happier. Dream come true. Highly recommend the team!

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

I am so thankful to Michelle and her team for creating such an incredible experience for us. From our first visit to Banyan Tree in March through all the planning calls and decisions, Michelle made the process feel smooth, organized, and even fun. The ceremony was more beautiful than we ever imagined, and our guests are still talking about how thoughtfully everything was put together (years later!). Michelle handled everything effortlessly and kept things completely stress-free. The entire weekend felt magical, and we couldn’t have done it without her expertise and dedication. We’re so grateful for everything she did and would definitely recommend My Perfect Wedding to anyone looking for a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience.

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for you as our amazing wedding planner. Michael and the whole team at MC events went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. We could not have done it with out them! Michael, your calm presence and organizational skills made every step of the process stress free. From our first meeting together, to the frequent zoom check-ins, Michael was always available and quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had.   The wedding day was a dream. We did not have to worry about a thing. Everything went perfectly and we can not thank you enough! Truly exceeded all of our expectations and we enjoyed every moment.
