Pride Maya Weddings made my dream Tulum wedding a reality!

Lorenzo, Emily, and their whole team are absolutely AMAZING! Within minutes of chatting with Lorenzo on the phone almost 16 months ago, I knew I had found the wedding planner of my dreams! I was so nervous to choose a wedding planner that I had never met in person before, but I instantly felt safe in his hands and knew he would help us plan the destination wedding I had always dreamed of. From helping us choose a location to recommending a travel agency to work with during our first few meetings, I already knew I had made the best decision for our wedding (besides saying yes to my now husband!). Through our zoom calls and whatsapp messaging, they understood the type of person/bride I am and helped me choose vendors that would be a perfect fit (e.g., photographers that would make me feel comfortable and laugh throughout the day!). Emily and Lorenzo also helped me create wedding mood boards to help focus my vision and help the vendors make our dreams a reality! Every vendor and even the hotel we worked with all had amazing things to say about Lorenzo and his team and that made us feel even more confident that we were working with the best wedding planners ever! Not only did they help with choosing the perfect vendors, but they helped negotiate contracts / pricing for us. I didn’t realize I was Type A until I started to plan my wedding, but Emily stepped in and calmed every anxious thought I had during the planning process. She was so efficient and organized — helping me with spreadsheets, timelines, to do lists, and more. When my now husband and I came for our site visit after a crazy travel situation, I could not have been more excited to have Emily with us at the hotel to ask all the right questions, take detailed notes/photos/videos, emoji-filled tasting reviews, and start envisioning all of the wedding day details! She helped us think of small details like custom bar napkins and foam light up sticks that our guests are still talking about. During the last couple of months leading up to wedding day, the Pride Maya Wedding team worked directly with the hotel coordinator and all of the vendors to create timelines, ensure everyone had security access and all necessary equipment/etc, and confirmed everything. Even when it was hard to get ahold of our officiant in the months leading up to the wedding, Emily picked up the phone and called herself — with Lorenzo and Emily reassuring me that it would all work out (and it seriously did!).

When it came to actual wedding day, my maid of honor told me that she was nervous herself because I wasn’t anxious or nervous at all— but it’s because I knew I was in great hands with Emily, Lorenzo, and the whole team! The day went by in a blur of smiles/laughter/dancing/happiness, and I never had to worry or even think about a single thing. Emily, Lorenzo, and Gustavo kept everything moving on time and without a hitch! My husband and I are constantly hearing from friends and family that it was the best wedding ever and now even 2 weeks later are still talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful it was! I wish I could go back and relive every moment of our wedding day because it turned out more beautiful, fun, and perfect than I could have ever imagined. They created the most beautiful table settings that I am still in awe and drooling over all the photos. The only thing I am sad about post wedding is not getting to catch up with Emily and Lorenzo and hear about their own amazing travels! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding and thats all thanks to Pride Maya Weddings!

Attentive, Communicative, Very Helpful

Lorenzo, Emily, Gustavo, and the team at PMW were so helpful to execute our dream wedding in Riviera Maya at the Fairmont Mayakoba. Lorenzo had excellent recommendations, but also helped us reach out to vendors we had researched independently that he hasn't worked with before. Planning a wedding thousands of miles away (from NYC), in our second language made the PMW even more valuable. They were so critical in making sure all of our expectations for vendors were communicated. They sent emails, hosted video calls, chatted via WhatsApp nearly constantly with us for months. We couldn't be more appreciative because our wedding day (and events throughout our wedding weekend) were absolutely perfectly executed. What a team! Highly recommend.

Incredible Experience with an Amazing Planning Team

Working with Lorenzo, Emily, and Gustavo was an incredible wedding planning experience! PMW was recommended to us by our friends who had used them for their destination wedding in Tulum, and after meeting with them for our first call, we knew they would be perfect. As a gay couple planning a destination wedding, we knew working with them would be a great experience and we're so grateful for their representation.

We started working with them ~17 months before our wedding. From driving us around looking at venues, to vendor connections and communications, to design inspiration/recommendations, budget planning, tastings, picking up things for our welcome bags, and of course the wedding day--they made every step easy and executed our vision flawlessly. We were able to be in communication with them so easily, including multiple calls, texts, and emails. While we were not there, Lorenzo even went to confirm some of the event sites and sent videos/facetimed us so we could see. The have a great network of vendors contacts that can provide anything you need for a wedding at all price points. All of the planning details were organized so well and on the day of the wedding everything was prepared to be carried out to our vision. On the day of the wedding, they were there ensuring everything was being done perfectly, communicating with all vendors, assisting with guests, decorating and perfecting the final details. We truly didn't have to worry about anything and arrived at all of our events blown away by how well it was carried out. Everything came together better than we could have ever imagined--thanks to them!

I would recommend PMW, Lorenzo, Emily, and Gustavo, to anyone planning a wedding in the Riviera Maya!
