Maartje,

I wanted to send my sincere thanks for all your assistance with Amy & Keith’s wedding.  It was everything they dreamed of and your assistance and professionalism made it all come together.

Everyone had a wonderful time and Ajua Maya Restaurant was so much fun!
I truly wish you many blessings with your upcoming nuptials and hope that it too is everything you want it to be.

Again, thank you so much for all your help!

Best Regards,

We were happy to help Amy with some of the planning aspects and vendors of her wedding day. She was already booked with a different coordinator, but felt that Ajua Weddings could offer her the special touch she was looking for.

Read her journal entry at the link below from weddingchannel.com’s community section and review her Ajua Wedding blog entry from July 14th, 2007 to see how we were able to help.

Enjoy!

We had a wonderful time on Saturday! Everything was just beautiful! Thank you for all your help! My friends and family thought everything was just fabulous! The photography was fun and great to work with! I cannot wait to see the pictures and video! Everything was more then what we expected!

I had a pleasure working with you on my perfect day! Your calm and down to earth demeanor is a good attribute to your company.

I will recommend you to anybody that is getting married in the Rivera Maya!

Thank you and Take care,
Lori and Tom

Maartje,

It’s great hearing from you. Things are slowly getting back to “normal” at home. Our friends will not stop talking about the great time they had and how wonderful the wedding was.

I cannot ever thank you enough for all the work and support you did and gave. Everything was way better than I expect it to be. Bruce, who didn’t know what to expect, has been in complete awe of the whole thing. He talks about the whole event every time he gets a chance.

On our last night at PdC Bruce and I went back to Ajua Maya for dinner. What a great place that is.

I’m in the process of creating a wedding planning journal/scrapbook, and as I was writing down steps (1. make save the date postcards, 2. make invitations, rsvps, 3.buy envelopes, 4. mail invitations, etc) it dawned on me that one of those steps shoud be Hire Ajua Weddings, Maartje in particular to plan you wedding :-). So once it’s complete I will send it to you.

Thanks again, and if you are even in the Washington metropolitan area do call us.

MAARTJE:
So good to hear from you!  I don’t know how to thank you enough, you gave me the best wedding I could have ever hoped for.  Everyone had such a wonderful time, we are planning on all coming back down to playa next year for our one year anniversary!
I’m so glad you all had fun, you both worked so hard and I’m glad you got to see the amazing results.
Tell everyone HI for us, and thank you again.
Take care, talk to you soon,
Laura (ahem… MRS. CHAVERO!! :))

Thanks, Maartje. Playa has really changed since I was last there approximately 10 years ago.  I love it.  It has grown, but it hasn’t lost its small town charm. 

Laura’s wedding was truly beautiful and everything went very smoothly.  Having a wedding planner helped make the day stress-free for both Laura and myself. Ricky’s and Laura’s friends all said it was the best wedding and reception they have ever been to. 

Hotel Playa Palms was very accommodating to all of us, and I would definitely recommend it as an intimate, comfortable place to stay.  Restaurant Sur and Cesar were fantastic.  Cesar was easy to work with, and the food, service and presentation were top notch.  Spa Itza did a super job on Laura’s hair.  They were a little more expensive, but definitely worth the money. 

I was very pleased with the service that Father John did for Laura and Ricky.  He did a great job.I am very pleased with everything you and Ajua Weddings did, Maartje, and I appreciate everything you did to make Laura’s wedding special for her.
If you need a recommendation or anything, please let me know.

Hi Maartje!  

I cannot thank you enough for all you did!!!   It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to!!!  Your efforts and your wonderful staff created an event beyond imagination!!    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi Maartje,
 
I’ve finally somewhat recuperated and come back down to reality and wanted to let you know what a superb job you did with the wedding and reception.
 
It was truly a beautiful, fun-filled and meaningful event.  The flowers were exquisite - beyond expectations. The ceremonial music was fabulous, not to mention the Mariachis.  What a party!! 
 
Everyone I talked to raved about the food and what a fun time they had.  The restaurant was decorated to perfection and we all enjoyed the entertainment.   
 
You also did a great job finding the baker - I’ve never tasted a better wedding cake!!  And I’m so glad we had the lady minister.  It was really a beautiful ceremony plus her accent and humor added a lot to it.  She handled the paparazzi thing really well too.  Everyone got a real kick out of it!!  
 
Again, thanks for all your hard work and creative talents which brought all of this together to make cherished memories for both Kelli and Jared’s families and friends.
 
Bob and I plan on coming back so we will certainly see you again when we go back to Ajua Maya!!
 
Sincerely,
Judy Klein, 

Hi Erika,
 
We could have not asked for a more amazing wedding!  You and your team provided us with a wedding full of memories we will treasure a lifetime!  My family truly enjoyed themselves & had fun, fun, fun!
 
I thank you for your attention to details; you provided a flawless ceremony & reception that flowed seamlessly from beginning to end.
 
We had so many comments from our friends and family that this was the BEST wedding they have ever been to!!  And we could not agree more! 
 
To our friends at the Ajua Maya Restaurant - thank you for making all of our guests feel welcome!

Muchas gracias!!!

Hi Erika!So good to hear from you! We did get home safely, but reluctantly to the real world. We were both sad to leave Mexico and such a wonderful week. We cannot say enough how wonderful the wedding was. There could have been no greater day. We appreciate all that you did in making it the most relaxing and special day we have ever had!
