Lorenzo, Emily, and their whole team are absolutely AMAZING! Within minutes of chatting with Lorenzo on the phone almost 16 months ago, I knew I had found the wedding planner of my dreams! I was so nervous to choose a wedding planner that I had never met in person before, but I instantly felt safe in his hands and knew he would help us plan the destination wedding I had always dreamed of. From helping us choose a location to recommending a travel agency to work with during our first few meetings, I already knew I had made the best decision for our wedding (besides saying yes to my now husband!). Through our zoom calls and whatsapp messaging, they understood the type of person/bride I am and helped me choose vendors that would be a perfect fit (e.g., photographers that would make me feel comfortable and laugh throughout the day!). Emily and Lorenzo also helped me create wedding mood boards to help focus my vision and help the vendors make our dreams a reality! Every vendor and even the hotel we worked with all had amazing things to say about Lorenzo and his team and that made us feel even more confident that we were working with the best wedding planners ever! Not only did they help with choosing the perfect vendors, but they helped negotiate contracts / pricing for us. I didn’t realize I was Type A until I started to plan my wedding, but Emily stepped in and calmed every anxious thought I had during the planning process. She was so efficient and organized — helping me with spreadsheets, timelines, to do lists, and more. When my now husband and I came for our site visit after a crazy travel situation, I could not have been more excited to have Emily with us at the hotel to ask all the right questions, take detailed notes/photos/videos, emoji-filled tasting reviews, and start envisioning all of the wedding day details! She helped us think of small details like custom bar napkins and foam light up sticks that our guests are still talking about. During the last couple of months leading up to wedding day, the Pride Maya Wedding team worked directly with the hotel coordinator and all of the vendors to create timelines, ensure everyone had security access and all necessary equipment/etc, and confirmed everything. Even when it was hard to get ahold of our officiant in the months leading up to the wedding, Emily picked up the phone and called herself — with Lorenzo and Emily reassuring me that it would all work out (and it seriously did!).

When it came to actual wedding day, my maid of honor told me that she was nervous herself because I wasn’t anxious or nervous at all— but it’s because I knew I was in great hands with Emily, Lorenzo, and the whole team! The day went by in a blur of smiles/laughter/dancing/happiness, and I never had to worry or even think about a single thing. Emily, Lorenzo, and Gustavo kept everything moving on time and without a hitch! My husband and I are constantly hearing from friends and family that it was the best wedding ever and now even 2 weeks later are still talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful it was! I wish I could go back and relive every moment of our wedding day because it turned out more beautiful, fun, and perfect than I could have ever imagined. They created the most beautiful table settings that I am still in awe and drooling over all the photos. The only thing I am sad about post wedding is not getting to catch up with Emily and Lorenzo and hear about their own amazing travels! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding and thats all thanks to Pride Maya Weddings!

Arranging a destination wedding can be quite overwhelming, particularly when it's in a foreign country. Fortunately, Pride Maya Weddings came to our rescue, ensuring our special day was flawlessly organized.

After reading glowing reviews on WeddingWire, we entrusted Pride Maya Weddings with our wedding plans, and they exceeded our expectations. Providing invaluable guidance every step of the way, they offered top-notch recommendations for every aspect of the ceremony.

Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, they maintained regular communication, offering reassurance during moments of stress and time constraints. Their responsiveness, even at odd hours, and their prompt coordination with vendors were immensely appreciated.

Our wedding day unfolded beautifully, with everything meticulously orchestrated behind the scenes, allowing us to relax and savor every moment. We just got a sneak peak of our photos and they were absolutely as vivid as the day it happened.


Lorenzo, Emily, and Gustavo made for an awesome team and went the extra mile to make sure we got everything we needed for the wedding day and made sure we were a priority.

Thank you Pride Maya Weddings for making our dream wedding come true! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.

I would absolutely recommend Pride Maya Weddings!! Lorenzo and his team were with me every step of the way while wedding planning from helping me find a venue, helping me determine how much to tip and everything in between.

The entire PMW team were very responsive, responding to my messages promptly regardless of the time of day (especially important for those wedding planning while also working a regular 9-5 job!!).

Since I had a destination wedding, I leaned heavily on Lorenzo to help me find quality local vendors within my budget - I was very impressed with every single vendor I worked with, it was also extra helpful to have a vendor team that had strong relationships with PMW. Lorenzo was especially helpful when I needed help being decisive - using his past experiences and the knowledge of my vision to steer me in the right direction.

PMW also went above and beyond by helping to plan our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Our rehearsal dinner location canceled day of the wedding (a shock to us all) and Lorenzo and Emily were quick to help us pivot and stay calm - never would have been able to handle such a "hiccup" without them!

Also - special shoutout to Emily who was always happy to hop on a facetime with me to talk through ideas and to do lists. Emily's attention to detail was unparalleled! I was nervous about my own ability to relax and enjoy my wedding day however Emily made me confident that I had nothing to worry about, and if she caught me stressing was quick to tell me to stop and enjoy the day while she and the PMW handled everything.

If I were to do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same and 10000% would have PMW on my team!
