Pooja and Elmer’s precious Indian destination wedding at Dreams Playa Mujeres had a special energy throughout every wedding event during the week. It was the kind of energy that showed just how in love they were with each other and how much they cherished the bonds they had with each of their guests.
Every moment was beautifully crafted to reflect their unique journey and celebrate the friends and family who attended. It was a true testament to the magic that happens when you celebrate true love in paradise.
Read on to get details about this beautiful wedding and get key takeaways you can use for your own destination wedding journey.
Their wedding journey started with finding the right planner who could bring together their wedding details beautifully. They worked with Pyaar Planning who did an excellent job of not only meeting their vision but showing them additional options to enhance it.
The Pyaar Planning team executes weddings so well that no two are exactly alike. They listen to their clients closely and provide options that make their weddings memorable. As you look for a wedding planner, find one that shows that they will make time to answer your questions and that they genuinely care about your wedding. Ask about their background and what they do to ensure that everything flows smoothly.
The next step was to work with our team at Indian Destination Wedding to find the right location and resort. We took Pooja and Elmer through our signature Resort Match Finder™ process to ensure that we understood their vision and needs for their wedding.
It was clear that Dreams Playa Mujeres would be the perfect choice given that it offers an exceptional amount of amenities such as a waterpark with water slides, infinity pools, kids clubs, thirteen bars and lounges plus six restaurants and more. This resort also has dedicated South Asian wedding packages making it easy to get everything you need.
Our team also provided a personal point of contact to answer travel questions and provided an online portal that allowed guests to book their accommodations and get all of the information they needed on one page. As you plan for your wedding, consider working with a team like ours who has ample experience and connections with the best resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean.
You can take a look at our client wedding videos to see what weddings look like when we are the travel concierge. Look for a travel agency that will offer personal attention before, during and after the wedding.

Every wedding event throughout the wedding week centered on the couple of course so it was especially important to have hair and makeup that would look perfect. That’s why Pooja turned to Claudio Alejandro and Loto Mehndi.

Transforming South Asian weddings in Mexico into breathtaking celebrations requires having talented decor and floral vendors. For Pooja and Elmer’s wedding, the teams at Pistilo Event Decor and Zuniga Deco Cancun blended tradition, elegance, and tropical charm to every event. The Pistilo team used their talent to ensure that every detail reflected a perfect fusion of South Asian tradition and coastal beauty.
Their expert team created a magical ambiance that left guests in awe especially when it came to the mandap that they flanked with numerous white, red, and pink flowers as well as greenery. The Zuniga Deco Cancun team are trusted experts when it comes to providing décor for Indian weddings.

Another important detail for Pooja and Elmer was having an especially exciting baraat. They chose two elements that made the difference: having colorful smoke bombs during the procession and hiring the dhol players at Drums in Paradise.
The Drums in Paradise team is a regular among Indian weddings in Mexico because they work hard to ensure the audience is having a great time. Because of their extensive experience with South Asian weddings, they know how to get the crowd moving with their beats. Adding elements like these to your wedding will take your baraat to the next level.
