Love Mexico 2015

Greetings from Sunny Mexico! We are having an amazing time at this years Love Mexico Conference, at the gorgeous Moon Palace Resort in the Riviera Maya. This is our third year in a row attending this event and every year it gets better and better. This time around we also had the pleasure of being featured in their South Asian Weddings Panel. It was so fun to share our experiences with other industry experts. Here are some behind scene photos from our weekend:

Love Mexico 2014

We are back in NYC after an amazing week in Mexico for the Love Mexico Seminars. We got to meet so many new vendors and network with many industry insiders. We can't wait to forge some new partnerships and begin to collaborate with them in the near future. 

Here are some photos from our busy week!

SJS Real Weddings: Maneesha & Abi!

As you will have gathered from our last blog post, last week we flew down to Mexico to help Maneesha and Abi celebrate their wedding in front of friends and family who had come from all over the world to join in the festivities. 

The gorgeous and tranquil Fairmont Mayakoba resort in Cancun played host to the weekend’s events, which kicked off on Thursday evening with a Welcome Fiesta. Guests were greeted with personalized welcome bags and were later treated to authentic Mexican food and live entertainment from a Mariachi band.  

Friday saw a lively Sangeet take place, with performances by a host of the couple’s family and friends. New York based chefs from Tulsi catering left guests raving about the food while music from DJ Raj Entertainment kept everyone on their feet well into the night. 

London-based photographers Vivida were also on-hand throughout the weekend to take some beautiful shots. 

On Saturday, the couple were married outdoors in a beautiful ceremony presided over by Pandit Jagdish Trevedi, with spectacular décor from Planner1 Events. 

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour al fresco and then a Reception in the resort’s Mimosa Ballroom where the newly married couple made their grand entrance. It truly was an amazing few days and we wish our wonderful couple every happiness for the future!

Live Blog: Mexican Destination Wedding

Today we are live blogging directly from the Fairmont Mayakoba resort in Cancun, Mexico. We are really excited to get this weekend’s celebrations under way. It all kicks off tonight with a welcome fiesta under the stars, during which a variety of Mexican food will be served and guests will be treated to music from an authentic Mariachi band.

As more guests begin to arrive, tomorrow evening will see a beautiful Sangeet with more delectable delights from New York-based caterer Tulsi, and music and dancing all night long from DJ Raj Entertainment. The extensive resort grounds will play host to a beautiful ceremony and reception on Saturday with guests expected to come from all over the world to help the happy couple celebrate.
