Dear Rachel (a prospective Ajua Weddings’ Bride),Â
I was just a Playa del Carmen bride with the delightful and impeccable help of Erika Eddy (Ajua Weddings´ Lead Coordinator) and the Ajua Maya Restaurant / Catering.
Where do I start? Well, I couldn’t have done it without Erika and her thorough, prompt and professional expertise. I thought before the whole planning began that I had no need for a wedding coordinator and I could clearly handle things on my own. As I delved into the project I realized that I was a little over-zealous and luckily Ajua Maya was a true find fairly early on.. After realizing how time consuming, mainly, finding and deciding and comparing and selecting all the necessities of even as simple (but elegant) and small a wedding as my own was to be while working my regular job and un-able to see and touch and taste and consider for myself I decided that Erika was worth every penny of her extremely fair cost for service.
Erika basically put together our whole ceremony because we were really clueless on what we wanted. All we knew was not too long, not super quick and nothing really religious. She just plain handled it and it was amazing.
Our minister seemed like an old friend…..people really thought we knew him. The set up on the beach was perfect and the coordinating of guests to seats and bridal and groom parties to walking down the aisle just sort of happened but clearly without Erika it would have been a mess.
As far as the food from Ajua Maya is concerned, it might be safe to say that it was the best we had the entire 9 days we were in Playa del Carmen. No joke. We actually ate at the restaurant 2 nights before the wedding just for fun (which it was — great atmosphere and live music and dancing.) So those 2 meals were on the top of the list and we ate out the entire time.
Their wait staff all had great personalities and all kinds of engaging methods of keeping a crowd smiling and laughing. They were hard working and extremely professional while delivering their entertaining selves to each inquiring table.
Also, something super important I noticed during the entire planning and executing process is that there were no little surprises. Erika was completely up front the entire time. Her payment plan is not only convenient due to their secure online payment site but very workable through the deposit / payment schedule thus breaking down the total so it is managable by the last payment. But never was there that little un-wanted surprise fee or cost that appeared out of nowhere. No fine print that seemed to be printed up as time passed and moneys were spent. We really appreciated the honesty and trust that Erika and Ajua Maya offered us. The wedding and reception was a complete success. It turned out to be everything we hoped for but never expected.
Thank you for your time. Good luck with your planning and your up-coming wedding and honeymoon. You won’t regret for a second the services offered at Ajua Maya and the expertise of Erika Eddy.
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Chris
