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

Ambar + Alejandro photographed our June 2024 wedding in playa Mujeres Mexico and they went above and beyond for us. Their talent is unmatched and they made us feel so comfortable ! We are absolutely obsessed with our photos and will cherish them forever !!

We absolutely loved working with Julieta! Before we booked with her, we set up a call to ask some questions. We could immediately tell she was the perfect photographer for us. Her style, her communication, everything about her was exactly what we were looking for for our photographer. Julieta was able to capture such special moments throughout the night from our ceremony to our first dance in a fire circle to water drumming. We will cherish these pictures forever. Within 48 hours we were able to get a sneak peek which was so amazing and made us even more excited to see the rest of the pictures. All of our guests loved looking through the gallery and reliving the night. Highly highly recommend hiring Julieta as your photographer! She’s the absolute best!

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!

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.

Everyone at take it photo that we have interacted with, for our wedding has been extremely professional, responsive, and generally a delight. We booked services for our wedding about a year and a half out. We met someone on the team about three months before our wedding when we had a walk-through of the venue. Throughout that year span of time, the team was willing to answer any questions that I had, despite their being long lead up to the actual wedding day. On the actual wedding day, the photographers were extremely punctual. They were incredibly easy to get along with, and we managed to have time for all of the photos that we wanted and still stay within our overall wedding day timeline. They provided us a sneak peek of some of the photos that we were going to be receiving, and it’s easy to say that we were absolutely blown away with the quality. I’m excited to get the rest of our photos, and I’m so glad we chose Take It photo to be with us and create photo memories for one of the most special days of our lives.

¡Clément de Élegance Photography fue simplemente increíble el día de nuestra boda! Gracias a él, cada momento de este día mágico fue capturado con fotos excepcionales y fuera de lo común. No solo su talento es innegable, sino que también nos hizo sentir completamente cómodos, incluso en los momentos más estresantes. Los invitados también quedaron encantados con su profesionalismo, discreción y amabilidad. No podríamos haber soñado con un mejor fotógrafo. ¡Lo recomendamos al 100% a cualquiera que busque recuerdos inolvidables y maravillosamente capturados!

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 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!

My wedding photos were absolutely stunning, every single one. I had such a specific look I was going for and Gerardo listened and matched it perfectly. I’m so incredibly grateful for everything and so glad I found Gerardo

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!!!

Great photos and video! They capture every moment perfectly and help you with poses. Communicate your vision with them and they will make it come to life. The team is great

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 live in the United States and when our daughter decided to get married in Merida Mexico we felt overwhelmed by the idea of planning a destination wedding. But they hired SOS and Michael and his team took away all our worries. They handled everything with amazing creativity and care. We had zoom meetings where they showed us the place settings, the furniture, the flowers. Nothing was overlooked. When the day arrived it was more than we ever expected. It was perfection. Michael got every detail exactly right and the team from SOS was there with us every step of the day and night. No problems at all. Perfection. We couldn’t be more grateful and we would recommend them to everyone. I would be happy to share our experience with others.

Lorenzo, Emily and Gustavo made sure we had the most amazing wedding! From recommending the perfect vendors for our Tulum wedding to staying at our reception until the last guest left to guarantee everyone had a spectacular time, they were nothing short of incredible. We recommend Pride Maya 100% to create and facilitate the most memorable event for any couple.

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Essenza Riviera on multiple weddings as part of the Magnolia Rentals team, and I can say with complete confidence that their work stands out for excellence in every detail. Their professionalism, organization, and passion for creating unique experiences make every event flawless. As a vendor, I always find in their team clear communication, efficient coordination, and a creative vision that transforms every celebration into an unforgettable moment. Working alongside Essenza Riviera is a guarantee of success and happy clients.

Working with Michelle and her team was absolutely amazing. They worked so hard to make our wedding dreams come true and handled bumps along the way with ease. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for the best wedding planners out there.

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.

I had been looking for a wedding planner in Mexico for a long time, and then I found Sina. That was the best thing that could have happened to my husband and me. She planned our wedding at Casa Malca in Tulum, and it was truly magical. Sina was incredibly reliable and guided us through the entire wedding planning process with such competence and warmth. She was always available, quick to respond, and simply a powerwoman ,creative and truly skilled at what she does. She had so many wonderful ideas but always respected and fulfilled our wishes. Thank you so much, dear Sina!
