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

Martin was absolutely the best from day one. From the first time I contacted him via Instagram, he has been an amazing communicator. Always responding, always listening, always prepared. When the wedding day arrived, he and his team beyond exceeded our expectations. They were incredibly fun and enjoyable to be around. He made the day less stressful, which is a huge thing on someone's wedding day. and of course, the final photos were amazing. He caught so many memorable moments. Highly recommend Martin!

I truly could not be happier with my photos and the end to end experience with MemoryBox. Not only are they still on the affordable side of photography, but you truly get an elevated experience and amazing photos for what you pay. I admittedly sort of got overwhelmed towards by wedding date since I had to travel internationally and it was a lot of logistics, and I forgot to schedule a call to iron out details and confirm an additional time that the photographers had everything they needed to get to my venue, find me on the huge resort, etc. When my day arrived and I looked up at the time and saw my photographers should be there, I kid you not I opened my hotel room door and there they were! On time, in the most joyous kind mood, ready to capture the day. I was so impressed that they were able to arrive without more guidance and several calls placed to me or my wedding planner, they are true professionals who get the job done. I was so grateful for their patience and professionalism because my husband and I are both very awkward and dont enjoy having our photo taken so I was unsure we'd even have great photos, I am truly in shock of how many of the photos we absolutely love. I know there are less expensive options in the area but I would recommend paying slightly more for a flawless experience. They also have an awesome website user experience which I really value when sorting through this volume of photos, I could not be happier with my choice!

Alan & Madie were an absolute pleasure to work with! I got married at Dreams Playa Mujeres and although Alan hadn't shot a wedding there yet, they assured me there would be no worries and my photos would come out perfect. Alan was extremely communicative and responsive leading up to the day of the wedding. On the day of, Alan and Marie arrived timely. They sprung into action and I allowed them to essentially take the lead and let myself and my bridal party what to do. My ceremony, reception and bridal party photos were exactly what I imagined them to be. My expectations were exceeded when it comes to the customer service and overall quality of photos. Madie also took videos during our photo session after the ceremony and that made for beautiful social media content. Alan and Madie were very easygoing and took their time guiding us through poses but also made sure to capture every important pose. I am so happy I decided to go with Lite Weddings to capture our photos. As a Black woman, I was very nervous while reviewing other companies photos because of the heavy saturation and style of editing. I found Lite Weddings on Instagram from another Black couple and I immediately knew I wanted them to photograph my wedding because of how effortlessly natural they looked. My husband and I looked exactly like ourselves in our photos. There was no over-saturation or extreme editing, which I was extremely appreciative of. You cannot go wrong by booking with Lite Weddings. They are a phenomenal team that values the customer experience from first point of contact to delivery of photos and beyond. Their service and the photos they capture are priceless. I would book them over and over and over again if I could!

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 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!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Pink Balance for our recent wedding in Costa Mujeres, Mexico. We had never taken professional photos before, but Francesco & Giuseppe made us feel very comfortable and guided us smoothly through all of the shots to capture our mutual vision. They also got amazing behind the scenes and candid shots of the entire day. Delivery of the final photographs was also incredibly quick! We would definitely recommend Pink Balance to any couples considering.

photos & videos that you will cherish for a lifetime!! Clement and his team were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations for our 2024 destination wedding! They were very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole day! There is nothing we would have changed. ❤️ I could not be more in love with our photos and videos.

Julieta was an absolute pleasure to work with for our elopement photoshoot. We eloped 1 month after my first conversation with Julieta and she was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the whole process. On the day, she was so thorough and worked tirelessly to create the photographs I had always dreamed of. I could not recommend her enough. Hiring her was our best decision!!

These two are hands down the best. So friendly and easy to work with. Very responsive and down to earth. We had the best day ever and they captured that with every single image. Our gallery is breathtaking in every way. I wanted warm photos that captured our love and happiness and they did just that. If you are looking for a photographer you won’t be disappointed in them.

My husband and I are from CT and decided to have a destination wedding. I found Celia through Instagram and loved her work and the fact that she had done many weddings at my resort. Celia was so easy to communicate with, her work is amazing and we couldn’t be happier than we chose her as our wedding photographer. Highly recommend her!!

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!"

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!

I reached out to Pride Maya Weddings when I first got engaged to my now, husband. Lorenzo was friendly and responsive from the get-go. His team were always supportive, helpful and flexible whenever I had my bridal panics or anxiety about anything wedding related. Towards the end, I worked closely with Emily who was my ANGEL IN DISGUISE. She kept me calm the whole process and especially on my wedding day. She was very organized (I’m a very type A person so I loved/needed this) and whenever I had an emergency or forgot something she immediately calmed me down and went ahead and got it done. Truly, made my wedding day stress free. Couldn’t recommend Pride Maya and Emily, enough!

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.

November 23rd, 2025 | Secrets Playa Blanca Claudia and Mariela, I just wanted to send another note thanking you for helping us to create such a beautiful, fun wedding. It really exceeded our expectations and was so gorgeous. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how spectacular it was. Thank you SO much for everything!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding.Claudia and Mariela are amazing

Michelle and her team were absolutely incredible to work with—we truly couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without them. We got married in February 2022, when COVID was still creating a lot of uncertainty, and Michelle handled every curveball with calm, professionalism, and total confidence. She stayed on top of all the changing logistics and made what could have been a stressful process feel completely manageable. One of the biggest value-adds was how she curated vendors for us. Instead of overwhelming us with endless options, she thoughtfully narrowed everything down to just a few excellent choices that fit our style and budget perfectly. It made decision-making so much easier and more enjoyable. Her team also went above and beyond with the details—especially the welcome/thank-you bags. They sourced local vendors at very reasonable prices and put everything together beautifully, which our guests absolutely loved. And most importantly, the day-of execution was flawless. The run of show was seamless, everything stayed on track, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in such capable hands. I can’t recommend Michelle and her team highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, resourceful, and truly invested in making your event perfect, she’s it.

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 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.

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.
