Island of Sun & Sand: An Unforgettable Isla Mujeres Wedding Weekend
A Kastina & Co. Destination Wedding
Tucked away on the serene shores of Isla Mujeres, Ashley & Erik’s wedding was the kind of celebration you dream about — vibrant, joyful, and set against the backdrop of Mexico’s stunning turquoise coastline. Their wedding weekend was a heartfelt mix of intention, color, connection, and joy — a destination wedding that felt less like a one-time event and more like a soul-nourishing experience.
As wedding planners, we love it when couples want more than just a destination ceremony – they want a whole experience. And that’s exactly what this weekend in Isla Mujeres became: a weekend celebration of love, laughter, and the beauty of nature.
The Couple and Their Vision
From the very first conversation, it was clear that Ashley and Erik wanted more than a ceremony — they wanted an immersive, memory-filled weekend with their closest people. Their dream? A multi-day escape that felt intimate, tropical, and effortlessly elegant. No stress. No fuss. Just love, sun, and the people who matter most.
They envisioned a wedding weekend that felt intimate, connected to nature, and celebratory — a blend of peaceful mornings and unforgettable nights, all set on the white sands of Isla Mujeres.
The Wedding Weekend Experience
Ashley and Erik knew that the magic of a destination wedding lies in the in-between moments – the time spent lounging, laughing, and connecting before the big day. So we designed a weekend that flowed with intention and ease, giving guests a true taste of island life.
The weekend was full of different activities to elevate the experience. They included relaxing yoga, poolside meals, and a lively welcome party at Mayan Beach Resort that brought everyone together with tropical cocktails, local flavors, and lots of laughs.
Every part of the weekend was carefully planned to create an unforgettable experience that all led up to the main event – the beachside ceremony that would mark the beginning of Ashley & Erik’s forever.
The Ceremony: Natural Beauty Meets Emotional Moments
The wedding day arrived with sunshine, stillness, and a sense of calm anticipation. The ceremony itself took place on the powdery white sands located at Mi Playa Favorita, framed by the sound of the ocean and a breeze that carried the scent of salt.
Ashley’s walk down the sand aisle was nothing short of breathtaking — she carried a vibrant bouquet of colorful blooms, a perfect contrast to the ceremony’s earthy palette of greenery and natural tones. The altar space was minimally adorned, allowing the island’s natural beauty to take center stage.
Surrounded by friends, family, and the gentle hum of nature, creating an atmosphere that felt grounded, sacred, and truly unforgettable.
The Reception: A Colorful Celebration Under the Stars
As the sun set, the party moved to an outdoor reception space beneath a beautiful open-air covering. The décor was a tropical dream — rich with blues, purples, yellows, and reds, woven together in a way that felt both playful and elegant. Every table was a burst of color, accented with candles, florals, and greenery that made the night feel alive.
Every detail was designed to feel joyful, elevated, and effortless — from the custom place cards to the lively tablescapes, everything reflected Ashley and Erik’s fun-loving energy and passion for connection.
Guests dined, danced under the stars, and then turned up the energy with rotating DJs who transformed the evening into a full-on celebration. It was the perfect mix of romantic and rowdy — and it ended with dancing barefoot, big smiles, and memories that will last a lifetime.
The Vibe: Peace, Nature, and Pure Joy
From start to finish, this weekend was about connection — with nature, with loved ones, and with the moment itself. There was a sense of serenity woven through everything, balanced beautifully with the joy and color of a true celebration.
At Kastina & Co., we believe in creating events that reflect each couple’s unique energy – and this Isla Mujeres wedding was the perfect example of how love, when paired with intention and beauty, creates magic.
Planning a wedding out of the country always comes with a few extra layers – timezone coordination, local vendors, language logistics, travel planning – but we pride ourselves on making the process seamless for our couples. With local vendor partnerships, intentional timelines, and clear communication, we made sure Ashley and Erik could stay focused on what mattered most: each other.
Thinking about planning your own destination wedding in Isla Mujeres or beyond? Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful beachfront elopement or a multi-day wedding weekend like this one, Kastina & Co. is here to bring your vision to life — with style, grace, and a whole lot of love.
