The Star of Our Wedding ❤️

If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!! Hiring Pride Maya was literally the best decision I made for our wedding! Emily and Lorenzo were so incredible to work with. They helped me maximize my budget, negotiate great prices with all of my vendors, and get creative on how to best utilize every aspect of our multi-day wedding weekend. They were the ones who recommended almost every vendor we ended up using and every single one was incredible. They were super responsive and helped me get answers from my venue when the hotel wasn't answering my emails -- they were the boots on the ground that I needed planning a destination Indian-American fusion wedding! The wedding went so smoothly thanks to their attention to detail and seamless coordination. I seriously cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for an incredible team to work with that will make your wedding day as stress-free and beautiful as your wildest dreams, HIRE PRIDE MAYA WEDDINGS!!!

Andy and Lorenzo are the best!

Andy and Lorenzo worked with us for our destination wedding planning journey and we have 0 regrets. They listened to us with budget needs and gave us great vendor recommendations since we aren't from the area. They went above and beyond with buying all of our customized favors and helping us pack every guests welcome bag. the day of our wedding Andy saved my photos by running up to our room to grab my veil! They saved me in so many ways and we couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding without them. If you're having a wedding in Riviera Maya don't hesitate to hire this team, they are amazing!

So Helpful for Destination Weddings

I am so glad we hired Pride Maya Weddings to help plan our destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico. We primarily worked with Emily and also Lorenzo, who were both very friendly and helpful. Even though the resort provided us with a wedding coordinator, it was still worth it to hire PMW for a few reasons. First, they have done so many weddings in the area that they know who to recommend as vendors for decor, florals, photography, hair and makeup, etc. Instead of trying to find vendors in a different country on my own, PMW sent me a smaller list of recommended vendors to consider for each category. It made my life much easier to narrow the field of possibilities. Our venue hotel also had certain "in-house" vendors and charges a hefty fee for each external vendor used. But after getting a very high floral and decor quote from the hotel's in-house vendor, PMW recommended that we could likely find a better deal by going with an outside vendor, even with the extra fee. I'm happy we had their guidance on this because it ultimately saved us money while still using a great vendor who provided beautiful florals and decor. Second, Emily handled all the communications with our outside vendors in the final few weeks leading up to the wedding, like confirming arrival times and the day-of schedule with each vendor. This was so helpful as she really handled all the vendor coordination, and it was one less thing for me to worry about as the bride. Third, Emily helped us with the planning process during a few video calls leading up to the wedding, where she prompted us to make decisions about different elements of the ceremony and reception. Emily also attended our final planning meetings with the resort and helped us navigate some last-minute changes proposed by the venue.

Perfection in all ways!

We had a destination wedding in Tulum, and Pride Maya's team was irreplaceable for our big day. They are responsive, worked with our budget, and went above and beyond every step of the way! ALL of their vendors were AMAZING and our big day could not have been any smoother thanks to this team. Look no further - you found the best!

Wonderful Experience!

We had a wonderful experience working with Lorenzo, Andy, and the Pride Maya team. They were professional, responsive, and truly helped bring our vision to life. With limited design experience on my end, Lorenzo did an incredible job translating a few inspiration photos into a beautifully executed vision. One of the things we appreciated most was how thoughtful they were in recommending vendors—they really helped us weigh the pros and cons of each option, which made the planning process so much easier. This was immensely helpful since we were planning from afar.

Lorenzo was so gracious in offering help when we ran into a hiccup with the makeup artist and resort fees and also helped recommend a travel agency to help with our room block. Thanks to their support, our wedding day ran smoothly, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress.

Everything came together beautifully, and we’re incredibly grateful for their hard work in making our celebration so memorable!

Best Team Ever!!!

I cannot say enough good things about my wedding planners from Pride Maya Weddings. Everything that I envisioned came to life. When I walked out into my venue it was everything I dreamed of. Not one thing was not as I expected it to be. They were professional, patient, kind, and diligent throughout the entire process. Emily, especially, who I met with regularly was always attentive to my needs and asking about my daughter, which is very important to me. Christina was always one step ahead during my actual wedding night, which is all any bride could ask for. I highly recommend Lorenzo, Emily, Christina, and Gustavo to anyone getting married. I had zero stress regarding my actual wedding on the day of and that’s all I could’ve dreamed of.

A Dream Wedding Brought to Life – Stress-Free and Seamless

From start to finish, working with Lorenzo and his team was nothing short of incredible. Our wedding day was beyond a dream—it was everything we hoped for and more. I’ve always heard people say that planning a wedding is like taking on a second job, but with Lorenzo and his team, I felt the complete opposite.

All I had to do was share my vision, and they took it from there. They would send me perfectly curated vendor options that matched exactly what I wanted, and once I made a choice, we’d move right on to the next detail. It was seamless, stress-free, and actually enjoyable!

Lorenzo and Emily were the two people I worked most closely with, and they were absolutely fantastic. Incredibly responsive, deeply knowledgeable about the venue and local vendors, and—most importantly—they have exceptional taste. They understood our aesthetic from day one and brought it to life in the most beautiful way.

I truly wouldn’t change a thing. If you're looking for planners who are organized, creative, professional, and just a joy to work with, look no further. They made our dream day a reality, and we’ll always be grateful.

Wonderful Experience

My wife Lena and I had a great experience working with the Pride Maya team (Emily, Lorenzo, Andy, Gustavo). Their local expertise, quick responsiveness, and careful work helped us greatly in planning our destination wedding. They were crucial in helping us find every vendor - and vendors that matched our vision for the wedding. For example, they helped us evaluate different venue options and helped us find a location (Riviera Maya Haciendas in Puerto Aventuras) that was perfect for our vision. They also did a great job helping us understand our progress and timeline, and helping us manage the emotions of the process. The wedding day itself went smoother than we could have expected, as the team managed all the moving pieces seamlessly. We loved our wedding and the whole experience! The PMW team was a major part of why it at went so well, as a result of their warmth, knowledge, thoroughness, and joy for the process. We feel very fortunate that we were able to work with them and can't recommend Emily, Lorenzo, Andy, and Gustavo enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
