Jesse & Jordi’s Riviera Maya Celebration

The Dream

Jesse and Jordi, a fun couple in their 20s, had always dreamed of saying “I do” on the beach. They wanted a wedding that was beautiful, budget-friendly, and unforgettable—not just for them, but for their closest family and friends. Their vision was clear: a laid-back celebration with stunning flowers, delicious food and drinks, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the moment.

The Planning

After narrowing down options, Jesse and Jordi chose the Barceló Maya Palace in Mexico’s Riviera Maya with the Mint Breeze Package. I managed the details—group contracts, flight coordination, travel protection, and even set up a private Facebook page for guests—so the couple could focus on the fun parts. To add a special touch, I arranged a surprise: custom t-shirts and sunglasses for the whole group, perfect for creating shared memories.

The Celebration

When the big day arrived, the weather was perfect, the ceremony was stunning, and guests loved the casual group dinner that followed. The whole week was filled with laughter, sunshine, and unforgettable experiences. Of course, traveling with nearly 50 people meant a few surprises—like canceled flights and even a medical concern—but I took care of everything behind the scenes. Jesse and Jordi were able to stay stress-free and fully enjoy their honeymoon while I handled the logistics.

The Results

Jesse and Jordi returned home with incredible photos, happy guests, and memories they’ll treasure forever.

Here’s what they shared:

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Steph made everything so easy—from choosing the resort to helping our guests. Even when a few issues came up, we didn’t have to stress. We got the wedding of our dreams, and we’ll treasure it forever.”
