The Love Story
Erika and Max met on the soccer field, where their love for the game kicked off an amazing two-year friendship. Before long, they took the leap into dating and haven't looked back since! "We've grown up together and are lucky enough to say we both married our best friend," recall the newlyweds. The day they tied the knot not only celebrated their love but also marked an incredible 9 years of dating, making their destination wedding even more special.
The Planning Experience
They dreamed of their wedding being more of a vacation with all of their closest family and friends, so having a destination wedding was the ideal fit for them. When they first saw the images of Dreams Tulum, they were sold. It had everything they envisioned for their big day—from the charming town feel and lush greenery to the unique wedding venue options. They knew they had found the perfect location, and after finally seeing it in person, they knew they made the right choice.
The Celebration
Their wedding day came alive with a VIP DJ package that lit up the night with dazzling lights, thrilling fireworks, and surround sound! The reception venue had plenty of natural beauty, so they kept the decor simple with just a touch of string lights and florals to enhance the already gorgeous setting. After two years of planning, seeing each other walk down the aisle made the moment feel surreal, and they were both filled with love, excitement, and joy.
The Memories
One of their favorite memories from the celebration was being able to spend quality time with their loved ones. The day after the wedding, they planned a group excursion with all their guests to Cenotes Park. It was the perfect way to end the festivities, especially since most of their guests had never been to a cenote.
Advice For Future Couples
Erika and Max's advice for couples planning their dream day is to try to plan things little by little, as it can be overwhelming to do everything at once. No matter what, know that it will all turn out great and nothing will get in the way of your beautiful celebration—not even a little rain! (Trust us.)
