Mackenzie and Ryan’s Destination Wedding

“Where to have our wedding was a hard decision to make with so many things to consider. You are not supposed to be stressed before your wedding or the day of your wedding, but I wondered how could I avoid stress? A destination wedding was the first thing that came to mind and I must say we are so glad that we decided to have a destination wedding which ultimately turned into a big vacation with our family and closest friends. Briana and Craig at Coral Tide Travel were with us every step of the way answering our questions and helping our guests secure their travel arrangements. They made this process so much simpler than we had imagined. Being on vacation with our toes in the sand definitely helped us achieve the mindset we needed to destress and relax. We arrived a few days before our wedding and got to enjoy the resort and settle in before guests started to arrive. It was so much fun to see our family and friends arrive at the resort and welcome them with an ice cold beverage! We met with our wedding coordinator and changed our minds about wedding details once we were there in person experiencing it. Our wedding coordinator Brenda was very accommodating, she truly made us feel important and at home. She went above and beyond for us and helped make our wedding night the best night of our lives! Our plan was to have the ceremony on the beach but we decided to change the location to the garden to be more intimate plus the greenery was just so beautiful! It rained the night before our wedding and Brenda suggested we move the location of the reception from the Gazebo to inside El Patio, a beautiful Mexican restaurant at the resort because of the slight chance of rain the next day. It was beautiful! The food and reception surpassed our expectations, simply perfect in every way! We also planned an after party at the resort’s music lounge, Desires. This was so much fun, we danced all night and had a blast! We had a wonderful time at Dreams Puerto Aventuras, our wedding was perfect and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed it! It was the perfect resort for our humble & down to earth group.” Photographer credit goes to Iván Castelán.
