Ashley and Eric dreamed of a destination wedding on a beautiful Mexican beach where their friends and family could enjoy a vacation at the same time. They decided to celebrate their love at the Iberostar Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, a resort surrounded by lush jungle, vibrant wildlife, and pristine Caribbean beaches. Known for its mix of natural beauty and authentic Riviera Maya charm, Iberostar Quetzal set the perfect stage for their unforgettable destination wedding.
The ceremony took place beneath a beachfront arch with billowing curtains, tied back with gorgeous floral arrangements. Tropical sunshine sparkled on the Caribbean Sea in the background as Ashley walked down the aisle in a long flowing gown, her smile lighting up the day. Eric waited with a heart full of emotion, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! After exchanging rings Ashley & Eric had a sand ceremony, symbolizing their inseparable connection. A gentle breeze whispered their intimate vows to the endless horizon, where the sky and sea joined in an infinite embrace.
As the happy couple walked out, guests tossed up colorful balls in congratulations, creating picturesque moments.
Our Mayan Riviera Photography team captured every heartfelt glance and rolling tear, every touch and emotional moment—creating a beautiful gallery that reflects the depth of their love story.
After the “I do’s,” family and friends gathered for a lively reception with a Mariachi band and a lighted dance floor right on the beach. From Ashley and Eric’s romantic first dance, to humorous roasting toasts, the night was filled with happy energy and joy. Rocking music, lots of laughter, and plenty of dancing, their celebration perfectly reflected their personalities—spontaneous and romantic, which made precious once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Iberostar Quetzal blends natural tropical beauty and convenient modern comfort, making it one of the Riviera Maya’s most charming venues for couples to begin their forever.
