Alt text: Ateet Ahuja of Indian Destination Wedding accepting awards at Lomas Appreciation Week 2026 in Mexico
Lomas Hospitality recognized Ateet Ahuja, CEO of Indian Destination Wedding and his team again this year at Lomas Appreciation Week in Mexico. While Ateet won the distinguished Pearl Award in 2025, we are pleased to announced that this year he also won 3 additional honors: the Top Wedding Producer award, the Top Lomas Travel Producer award, and the Coco Award, the honor that recognizes the best overall agency partner.
What Is Lomas Appreciation Week?
Lomas Appreciation Week, or LAW, is the awards conference Lomas Hospitality holds to honor its top travel agency partners. Lomas Hospitality manages Generations Riviera Maya, El Dorado Royale, and El Dorado Casitas Royale, three Riviera Maya resorts that host a steady stream of multi-day South Asian weddings. The awards measure how much business an agency brings to these properties and how well that agency works with the resort teams behind every booking.

The Four Awards Indian Destination Wedding Won at LAW 2026
Pearl Award, for the Second Year in a Row
Pearl is the highest level an agency can reach with Lomas Hospitality, and only three agencies reached it this year. Indian Destination Wedding also earned the Pearl Award last year, so this win confirms something more valuable than a single strong season. It shows consistency, year after year, across some of the most requested resorts in Mexico.
Top Wedding Producer
This award sits closest to the heart of what we do. Indian Destination Wedding has focused on South Asian destination weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean since 1996, and Lomas Hospitality named us its top wedding producer. Every one of those weddings represents a couple who trusted us with the biggest celebration of their lives.
Top Lomas Travel Producer
A South Asian wedding rarely travels light. Parents, grandparents, cousins, college friends, and little ones all need flights, rooms, and transfers that line up. This award recognizes the full scale of travel our team books with Lomas, well beyond the wedding events themselves.
Coco Award
The other three awards measure specific categories. The Coco Award looks at the whole partnership and names the best agency overall. For a team that works hard behind the scenes on every booking, this recognition means a great deal.
What These Awards Mean for Couples Planning a South Asian Destination Wedding
Awards look nice on a wall, but couples care about what happens after they sign a contract. Here is how this recognition shows up in your planning.
Your Resort Already Knows Your Agency
When we reach out to the sales and wedding teams at El Dorado Royale or Generations Riviera Maya, we are not a new name in their inbox. Years of partnership mean faster answers on date availability, room blocks, and the details that matter when you plan a wedding with 150 or more guests in Mexico or the Caribbean.
Experience With the Events That Make Your Wedding Yours
Your haldi, mehndi, sangeet, baraat, pheras, and reception each need the right space at the right time. Because we book so many Indian destination weddings at these resorts, we know which venues hold a full dance floor, where a baraat can move with energy, and how to plan a vegetarian-heavy menu that your family will actually enjoy.
Someone in Your Corner When It Counts
Room inventory tightens. Guests change plans. A special request needs a quick yes. Resorts listen to partners they trust, and that relationship gives us room to advocate for your group when the stakes are highest.
Flexibility for Every Generation of Your Guest List
El Dorado Royale and El Dorado Casitas Royale welcome adults only, while Generations Riviera Maya welcomes families. Many of our couples use this pairing to host everyone in one area.
Part of a Longer Track Record of Industry Recognition
The Lomas Hospitality awards join a growing list of honors from the resort brands and tourism boards our couples book most often.
| Recognizing Organization | Honor |
| Hyatt | Top 100 Travel Advisors in the Nation; Indian Destination Wedding Experts of the Year |
| The Palace Company | #1 Top Producer for Destination Weddings; #1 Producer in the USA for Moon Palace; #1 Producer in the USA for the Palace Company |
| Jamaica Tourist Board | Top-Producing Jamaica Travel Specialist |
| AIC Hotel Group | Top 3 Travel Agencies in North America; #2 in Destination Wedding Production |
| AIC Showstopper Awards | Black Diamond Agency; Top Destination Wedding Producer in North America |
| Classic Vacations | STAR Performer Award |
| Lomas Hospitality | Pearl Award (Awarded 2025 and 2026), Top Wedding Producer, Top Lomas Travel Producer, Coco Award |
Each of these honors comes from a different company with its own standards. Together, they show that couples get the same level of expertise whether they marry in Riviera Maya, Cancun, Punta Cana, or Jamaica.
