Mendieta's is a 10-star caterer, but since Yelp will only let me post 5 stars, this will have to…read moredo. I recently took my entire family to Mexico for me and my husband's wedding, and 22 of us stayed in a beautiful villa and had Mendieta's recommended to us for catering Thanksgiving dinner. Our concierge gave us a list of 3-4 catered, but highly recommended Mendieta's, so we booked them. I had no idea just how big of a treat it would be to have Chef Maria, her husband and her team prepare our holiday dinner. I thought it would just be the food but it was so much more! They brought beautiful, Mexican table decor and place settings to make the dinner feel like a lush event. The details were everything! I also gave them a list of food allergies/restrictions and I was so glad that they happily accommodated all of them! And the food still tasted amazing! Now, on to the food -- simply incredible and delicious! They prepared it at our villa (it 'took them only 2 hours to get food on the table, which is amazing for the number of people we had!). We had their Real Mexican menu, which was family style, and included elote (corn), braised beef tacos, fish and rice, guacamole, salsas, and several other items that tasted delicious! A big plus for me was how pleasant and loving Chef Maria and the entire Mendieta's team was. They served us dinner, poured the wine we bought at the local store (all throughout the night), and gave us shots to celebrate the festive occasion! They also arranged the dining room tables and used tables from other parts of the house to set everything up so that all 22 of us could eat together. Man, what a treat! Their pricing is SO reasonable, and they also have menus for kids, as well as discounted prices of the adult menu for children. I'm OVER THE MOON with them and will definitely be back to have them cater our next trip to Mexico! Last thing - Chef Maria helped me pick the menu and was so lovely in all of our texts to help me mommy arrange everything and get the final details done. That was a huge relief since our wedding was that same weekend and my head couldn't take anymore planning! They worked so hard and were such great people...I couldn't have asked for more. My friends who stopped by for dinner said it was their favorite part of the entire trip - other than our wedding. Thank you Mendieta's!!!

We had the Mexican experience of 11 dishes - all amazing but the highlights are Tinga de Pollo and Albondigas. They set up the table beautifully as if Four Seasons was hosting Cinco de Mayo. Lastly, the Mexican/Romanian couple is charming and interesting. They are simply delightful. An experience we will never forget and will seek to repeat when we return to Cancun.

Michelle and Aleza were wonderful wedding planners.

Michelle and Aleza are both thoughtful, kind, and warm. They genuinely listen to your ideas and work to go the extra mile to make sure your vision is realized. At points where my husband and I were struggling to make decisions, they figured out how to get us extra time but were also clear when there wasn't wiggle room. Additionally, as locals to Playa del Carmen, they know the Cancun and Riviera Maya region inside and out, so they have access to the best and most reliable vendors. In the end, we had three nights of events across two hotels. All the logistics went off without a hitch. I'd highly recommend using My Perfect Wedding. They'll make any Mexico wedding a dream-come-true!

From our very first planning visit to Banyan Tree in March, through countless Zoom calls coordinating vendors and contracts, Michelle kept us calm and reassured us that any idea we had was possible. The ceremony felt magical and we're still hearing rave reviews about all of the details. We couldn't have pulled off this weekend without Michelle's guidance and resourcefulness. Even when the weather forced last-minute venue relocations--and we made last-minute changes to the tabletop--Michelle and her staff handled everything seamlessly. They never missed a beat, and went above and beyond to accommodate our (admittedly high-maintenance!) requests. Our family and guests enjoyed a truly enchanting weekend, and it was the storybook wedding we always dreamed of. We are beyond grateful to Michelle for giving us the most 'perfect wedding year.' We highly recommend My Perfect Wedding to anyone seeking a stress-free, personalized, and unforgettable wedding experience!

We ordered drinks beachside and everything was delicious, the lobster was super fresh, and came out quickly. Lunch was great as well. The service was fantastic. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and always checked on us without being overbearing. They made us feel welcome from the moment we got there. Overall, it was such a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the beach, and have great food and drinks in Tulum. Highly recommend Akiin Beach Club and I absolutely cannot wait to go back next time!

I liked the beach beds. They did have an event the day we went but it was early, low attendance, felt like we paid a cover (albeit low) for nothing extra. Our third row beach beds were 2000 pesos - but all went towards consumption - if memory serves.

We were so excited to see the Photos/Videos to come. I had added a Photo Booth for the reception but it was unfortunately forgotten by the team. Of course that's a bummer but, what're ya gonna do. I waited to ask for an ETA (July 22), estimate was ~2m, and about a refund on the photo booth. Was told they were being worked on and Photo booth refund was incoming. We got our first teaser video 9/2, almost 4 months later. He posted some of our photos to Facebook 9/3 and we got our edited gallery 9/4. When we did finally get the rest (full video/unedited photos) our Ceremony was not in it. After another email it was added. We eventually got our full order November 24th, nearly 6 months later. The photos are beautiful (the video is alright) and worth the wait but some updates would have gone a long way. Being a bride not sure you're ever going to get your full order is a terrible feeling. The pricing is super fair. just be fully prepared to wait. We are nearing a year and I still have not received a refund for the forgotten photo booth. Ivan has stopped answering my emails.

He's very responsive and answered the endless questions I had leading up to the photoshoot and even afterwards. He's personable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire experience.

A couple of years ago I joined my sister for her maternity photos and just a couple of weeks ago he captured my pregnancy during a maternity photoshoot with my husband. I highly recommend him!
