Four Days, Two Hearts, One Magical Destination
Our weddings were focused on highlighting the natural beauty and surroundings of Mexico. We had 2 beautiful intimate weddings with 90 of our closest friends and family who flew from the UK & USA to celebrate. Our 4 events (Mehendi night, Vidhi, Hindu Wedding, Civil Wedding & Reception took place across 2 venues at Paradisus Playa Del Carmen & Xcaret Park. Our phenomenal wedding planners Xanath Banuelos helped us to achieve fun, love and laughter highlighting multiple colour themes ranging from blues, yellow, reds and green. Achieving a surprise civil wedding for our guests and the ultimate balance of relaxation and events. Our destination wedding is one of a kind with our finale reception in a beautiful cave.
