Many couples want to provide something special to their guests as a thank-you for joining them in celebrating their special day.  Welcome bags filled with goodies are a great idea when planning a destination wedding.  Guests receive the bags in their rooms upon arrival and are delighted to find local treats, maps and snacks.  Here in Playa del Carmen, some great ideas to include in bags are:

• Local chocolates
• Small bottles of Tequila
• Hand-rolled cigars
• Vanilla
• Maps
• Playing cards
• Sunscreen
• Personalized Maracas
• Talavera Tiles which can be used as coasters
• Rainmakers and more!

We are happy to assist couples in putting together these gift bags which can be delivered in Playa del Carmen or ready for pickup.  If your wedding is at an all-inclusive, we are happy to work with your coordinator to make sure your guests receive these when they arrive. 

Stephanie, we got the gift bags and everyone loved them - thanks so much for all of your work on them. They really turned out fabulous - everyone brought their beach bags with them on the whole trip!!

Thanks again - I’ll highly recommend you if anyone else I know gets married in Playa!

Despite the rain, mariachis escorted Tanya and Oliver with their guests down 5th Avenue to Ajua Maya Restaurant for the Reception.   Guests enjoyed cocktails while family photographs took place in the upstairs area of the restaurant.  Following dinner, the band played and everyone enjoyed dancing into the evening!

Tanya and Oliver’s wedding coincided with Tropical Storm Ida here in Playa del Carmen. The rain held off for the ceremony and friends and family celebrated the marriage at the packed Capilla de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.  Despite the rain after the ceremony, guests were troopers and patiently waited for family photos, which took some time as both Tanya and Oliver have huge families and most were able to join them here for the ceremony!
