Stress-free Remote Planning Success Stories

Ardee + Ryan | 100-guest celebration with surprise catamaran ceremony
Location: Isla Mujeres | Guests: 100 | Service: Full wedding planning and coordination
"We planned our wedding from out of the country and only visited Isla Mujeres once with Pam to tour sites. She recommended and coordinated with various vendors (florists, photographers, DJs, and site vendors) to plan the big day and make it easy for us back in the US. She thought of details we would have overlooked, which we really appreciated during the planning phase, and it made the event less stressful. On the day of the event, she made sure we met the timelines, including coordinating a surprise catamaran ride for the ceremony, entrances, and speeches all without a hitch."

James + Cami | 100% remote Persian ceremony planning
Location: Cancun | Service: Complete destination wedding planning | Specialty: Persian wedding traditions
"I live thousands of miles away and work long hours, I would never have had the time, know-how, or organizational skills to put on such a wedding in a country outside my own. I planned with her 100% remotely. I trusted her to take care of it, and she delivered! On the day of the wedding, she took care of the coordination, so all I had to do was enjoy my wedding day. This was despite the threat of bad weather and some last-minute changes to have a Persian wedding ceremony."

Pete + Terri | Overcoming remote planning anxiety
Location: Mexico | Service: Wedding ceremony and event coordination
"Planning a wedding remotely is scary, and I thought: Can I trust someone I have not met? Let me assure you that BeautyWeddings© is the right choice for planning your ceremony or event. With each decision or change I made, Pam reassured me, which set me at ease. When we met Pam after arriving in Mexico, we instantly felt comfortable and loved her genuine passion and professionalism for her job."
Legal wedding ceremonies in Mexico

Lara + Andrew | Legal ceremony with certified documentation
Location: Cancun hotel | Service: Legal wedding ceremony and documentation
"We wanted a legal ceremony in Cancun, at our hotel, and from the outset, Pam assured us this was possible. She liaised with City Hall to book the legal minister to preside over the ceremony, advised on the timings for the wedding, and she met with the hotel staff in advance of the wedding to ensure that everything would run smoothly on the day. And now we are back in the UK, we are delighted to receive the certified copy of the wedding certificate translated into English."

Julian + Alex | Same-sex legal ceremony with apostille service
Location: Playa del Carmen | Service: Same-sex civil wedding and apostille certification
"My husband and I had a same-sex civil wedding in Playa del Carmen, and Pam went out of her way to meet us where we were staying to ensure everything went according to plan. Pam was also able to expedite the Apostille certificate for us. As a gay, international couple, we had some anxieties surrounding the logistics, but Pam made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and reassured throughout the whole process."

Joseph + Donna | Legal ceremony with UK documentation
Location: Amazona Beach Club, Isla Mujeres | Service: Legal ceremony and reception coordination
"We are really glad we chose to work with BeautyWeddings© to coordinate our legal ceremony and reception on Isla Mujeres. Pam was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, with prompt responses to queries and reassuringly regular communication. I would certainly recommend BeautyWeddings©, particularly if traveling to Mexico from abroad."
Intimate destination weddings and elopements

Shelly + Alexsia | 30-guest intimate wedding at Casa Coco
Location: Casa Coco by Coco B Isla, Isla Mujeres | Guests: 30+ | Service: Complete wedding planning with accommodation
"We had a tight budget, and Pam was able to find a place that was both a gorgeous venue and provided accommodations for our immediate family. We chose Casa Cielo, and it was the ideal size for our wedding party of just over 30 people. Pam showed up early on the day of the wedding and worked so hard in the heat to ensure everything looked gorgeous. When we walked outside from getting ready and everything surpassed our expectations, it was breathtaking."

Jess + Julian | Low-key family ceremony in Cancun
Location: Cancun beachfront | Guests: 4 people | Service: Intimate ceremony coordination
"We wanted a low-key ceremony with no fuss, as it was just my partner and two children, and that's what we had; there was no pressure from anyone. The venue and backdrop were absolutely beautiful, just what we asked for, it was looking right over the beach in Cancun with the most crystal-clear blue skies and ocean."

Alana + John | Last-minute legal wedding in 10 days
Location: Mexico | Service: Emergency legal wedding planning
"I emailed only 10 days before our departure to Mexico, requesting a legal marriage ceremony! You assured me that I didn't have to worry about a thing, and I didn't have to! The way you treated us when we met you for the first time, your explanation of what would happen, and your confidence and skill are undeniable!! The location and photos...it was all perfect, exactly what I wanted."
Cultural and specialized wedding ceremonies

Yochanan + Shely | Kosher destination wedding coordination
Location: Mexico | Service: Kosher catering coordination and full wedding planning
"We have arranged a remote wedding, and she has helped us arrange and coordinate everything from the venue, Kosher catering (which came with a lot of restrictions), photography, etc. She made our destination wedding amazing and wonderful, both for us and the guests who all came from different countries."

AJ + Valerie | Bilingual ceremony at Fairmont Mayakoba
Location: Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya | Service: 18-month wedding planning with bilingual ceremony
"We worked with her for 18 months towards our wedding in May 2014, held at the Fairmont Mayakoba in Riviera Maya. We liked her professionalism so much that we made her one of the ministers at the bilingual ceremony, which she did happily for free. She performs at the highest professional standards, is flexible, and understands the importance of your unique, big day."

Col + Marie-Joëlle | Custom catering with local chef at Casa Yaax
Location: Casa Yaax, Isla Mujeres | Service: Flexible vendor coordination with custom catering
"While many wedding planners insist on working with their own vendors exclusively, Pam was willing to partner with an amazing chef we had met on the island to coordinate our food, even though they had not worked together previously. We used Ricardo Lopez as our chef (who has the best taco truck on the island if you want to check out his food!)."
Large destination wedding celebrations

Jaime + Marcela | International guest wedding in Cancun
Location: Cancun | Guests: International attendees | Service: Complete destination wedding coordination
"BeautyWeddings© Mexico Destination Wedding in Cancún. After doing extensive research, we picked BeautyWeddings© because it has something for everyone. After only seeing pictures of all the details, I was a bit nervous about how it would all come together. The nerves were not needed as everything EXCEEDED my expectations. It was perfect! My guests, who came in from around the world, all said it was the best wedding they had been to."

Kaitlyn + Ernest | Pinterest-perfect gazebo ceremony
Location: Mexico | Service: Personalized wedding design and coordination
"Pam gave me a personalized experience that would be hard to beat. She curated a wedding day experience that was exactly what I was looking for and described to her. My wedding day was 99% what I expected, which is absolutely unreal considering we planned our wedding sight unseen! The gazebo was Pinterest-worthy (so gorgeous), my flowers were to die for, and my photos still bring tears to my eyes."

Pamela made everything so pleasant and easy! She took full care of all the documents and legal stuff. Our wedding ceremony went super smoothly. Even when we faced some issues with documentation in our home country, Pamela helped us with that too. The process of communication was always easy with her, she was always there for me to answer any questions I had. I recommend her and her service! She’s excellent in her job and very nice as a person. Thank you so much for everything, Pamela!

Pam with BeautyWeddings made our special day go off perfectly!
She was so friendly and personable and made us feel at ease during the entire process.
She was always very responsive and helped us understand all of the questions (and we had lots) we had.
Would very much recommend them for destination weddings in Cancun and Playa del Carmen!
