My husband and I interviewed several wedding planning and design teams in the Yucatán, ultimately leading us to select the Yucatalove (YucatanLove) team to help curate and facilitate an experience that our guests (and ourselves) would love -- and we cannot rave enough about the ENTIRE team. From the beginning call with Mafer, we instantly felt a connection to the energy that envelops the entire team. She initially made us feel so comfortable and at ease about planning a destination wedding. From there, we began our calls with our planner, Silvia, and instantly felt connected to her. She is the embodiment of kindness, organization, and thoughtfulness. Our bi-weekly meetings soon felt like chatting with a friend helping our wedding journey. We simply could not have enjoyed the process as much as we did without Silvia. We had the pleasure of traveling to Mérida several times throughout our process, allowing us the opportunity to meet our entire team, including Mar and Alvaro, our wedding designers, who worked with our vision and their skill sets to execute the picture-perfect wedding. We were able to go to our wedding location a number of times to go through logistics, our vision, and the fine details that we had not thought of. Their level of expertise and eye for design are top-notch. Ahimsa and Kate were our planning executives, keeping us on top of decisions that needed to be made and unfolding developments and details. Their level of organization and style of communication was absolutely perfect. If you have made it this far reading this review, our November 2024 wedding was nothing short of perfect, and our gratitude for the Yucatalove team is overflowing. A HUGE thank you to Silvia, Mafer, Mar, Alvaro, Kate, Ahimsa, and everyone else working behind the scenes, who made our wedding the best day of our lives. We miss you already!! read more

Love, love, love Yucatan Love. The entire team works together to make everything seamless. Our wedding day was magical and our guests couldn't stop raving about the location, the food, the music, and the service. We give ALL the credit to the wedding planners. We worked with Laura, Silvia, and Nela and I felt that each of them were committed to our vision. Silvia really held our hands through the process and during the wedding and it was like having a friend there guiding us. We would 100% trust them over and over for any event needs. When speaking to vendors, they spoke highly of Yucatan Love and they have such a strong reputation in the community. 100000% recommend. read more

We had 3 months to plan our wedding and weren't even entirely sure if it could be done, especially remotely from New York. Laura was confident that she and her team could handle it and that they did! Her calm demeanor throughout the process really put us at ease. The Yucatan Love team is highly organized and very clear about their scope of work and expectations from us. We appreciated that they took the time to help us determine the budget and stuck to it. When something seemed a bit too expensive they were quick to research to provide us with more affordable options and never pushed us to spend more than we were comfortable with. In the end we were under budget, but got even more than we expected. Yes, of course, we needed the churro and marquesitas cart! Our flight was canceled the night before we were scheduled to leave (American Airlines strikes again!) and Laura came to our rescue at 10 pm - finding and booking transport for us from Cancun to Merida. Fast forward to the day of the wedding. I never really thought about all the moving parts that go into a wedding - from handling multiple vendor set ups and music timing and the minutiae of how to move guests in and out of spaces. And luckily we didn't have to think about all of it. Laura and her team orchestrated everything seamlessly. We had an amazing time and so did all of our guests who couldn't stop raving about THE wedding planner. She and her team truly go above and beyond and I can easily write an essay about how they're the best planner we could have ever hoped for. read more

My Husband and I hired YucataLove to plan our wedding in Merida in April of 2025. As a bride, this is a very stressful time and Mafer and her team were INCREDIBLE. I had a very specific vision and they were able to bring it to life, no questions asked and without a hitch. I am quite an unorganized person, but Mafer and her team kept everything in order and didn't miss a beat. The communication was excellent! Their recommended vendors are the best in the business and you cannot go wrong with any of them. On the day of the wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy my day. Mafer and her team kept the event moving, I knew where to be and what to do at all times. We had the time of our lives and most of our guests cited: "Best wedding we've ever been to." We couldn't have done it without YucataLove. Thank you for your help curating and executing our special day. read more

We had the most amazing wedding planned by Yucatan Love. We continue to get messages and praise from our loved ones telling us it was the best wedding the have ever attended. The entire experience was nothing short of enchanting. Despite being based in the US and having only visited Merida once before, we entrusted YL with every aspect of our wedding- from selecting the venue to sampling the delectable cuisine. YL not only met but surpassed our every expectation. Lau is an angel sent from heaven. She is such an extraordinary wedding planner who pours her heart and soul into her work. Lau guided us through every step if the planning process, infusing it with a sense ease and enjoyment. The actual ceremony and celebration felt like a dream. Lau from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For those seeking a marriage in the Yucatan region, Yucatan Love is the epitome of excellence in wedding planning. Our day was better than we could have ever imagined thanks to this remarkable team. While we are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, a tinge of sadness lingers knowing we cannot do it all over again...or maybe we can? See you in 10 years for renewal of vows :) Love always, Katie and Felipe read more

Yucatan Love delivered so far above and beyond our expectations. I would consider myself a planner and someone who can truly appreciate when things align.... Laura and crew were so amazing and making sure our day was "planned"! They covered every detail and made our day a lot less stressful. If you decide to get married in the Yucatan, you would be crazy if you didn't consider this team to help you plan your special day read more

My wife and I decided to get married in Merida before we were even engaged. Once we were engaged, we came across Yucatan Love's instagram and fell in love with the weddings they would post about. We quickly decided to work with them and were lucky enough to have Lau and Ahimsa as our wedding planners. They took their time to listen to everything we wanted and were able to make our dreams a reality. The wedding planning process was never stressful with them at the helm and when there was any slight bumps in the road, they always had two or three solutions. We were never told no to any of our ideas and instead would give us alternatives to make our vision work within our budget. The end result was an amazing wedding. We felt like we were in a fairytale the whole time. We cannot thank Lau, Ahimsa, and the whole Yucatan Love team enough. At the end, we had done so much planning and work that we felt like they were a part of our family. We are so glad that we were able to find and work with them. If you are looking to get married in the Yucatan area, we would 100% recommend them. read more

My husband and I decided to get married at a hacienda outside Merida in 2022. We interviewed many wedding planners and YucatanLove was, by far, the most professional and friendly. We hired them immediately. They were organized with spreadsheets and their expertise was clear. The spreadsheets were on a Google Drive. Our communication was constant and quick on WhatsApp. We traveled to Merida and toured about 8 haciendas and we chose Hacienda Tamchen. For the next 15 months, we worked with Lau, our wedding planner at YucatanLove. We hired around 30 vendors, had 3 pre-wedding events, a welcome party, and a rehearsal dinner - not including our actual wedding. YucatanLove and Lau were there every step of the way. They created beautiful and magical moments in a transparent way. The organization and budgeting was clear. Lau was always open to revising plans based on schedule and budget. Their confidence alleviated our concerns and nerves. This was important because this was a destination wedding, and our meetings were virtual. During our 2nd trip to Merida in 2023 for vendor selection and cocktail and food tastings, YucatanLove organized the entire trip and drove us to meet the vendors. It was special to build a relationship with Lau in person during this trip. Our wedding was magic. YucantanLove and Lau made this happen. If you hire YucatanLove for your Yucatecan wedding, it will be a dream. Thank you, Lau and the YucatanLove team! read more

Highly highly highly recommend to any couple wishing to get married or anyone looking to put on an unforgettable experience. read more
