This is our blog about Playa del Carmen Weddings. The locals call it “Playa” and the town is set in the heart of the Riviera Maya. It’s a major hub: 40minutes away from Cancun Airport, 45 minutes to Tulum and the starting point for all tours to colonial cities like Valladolid and Merida. Playa is all about options, flexibility and the ability to easily customize your wedding day.
