Welcome back to Maroma Monday … a mini-series of posts from our newly minted destination wedding and honeymoon stories, which take place {you guessed it!} every Monday on Merci New York .
Last Monday, I had the pleasure of sharing an overview of the gorgeous Maroma , a beautiful boutique resort nestled in the Mayan Riviera region of Mexico. During my press trip to the property, I indulged in a “wedding weekend” that included an intimate welcome dinner, a beautiful rehearsal and traditional Mayan wedding ceremony, and the main event: a beach-chic reception that was truly to die for.
Today, for part two of Maroma Monday , we’re sharing the details of the traditional Mayan wedding ceremony. Our couple chose to incorporate the Mayan ceremony the evening before the wedding… They wanted to give guests a taste of traditional Mayan culture, and with all the colorful details, interesting rituals and a backdrop like the Maroma beach, who would object??
The Mayan ceremony was a festive way to inject a little culture into our couple’s weekend of wedding celebrations. As you can see from the photos, the traditions are definitely an experience of the senses, from the drums, bells and horns that kickstarted the event, to the aromatic incense and colorful attire, and of course, all the tactile details. Never missing a chance to make an event as beach-chic as possible, the Maroma staff rounded out the evening with decadent lite bites and an assortment of local tequilas, which quickly turned this sunset fete into an all-night fiesta.
Maroma’s festive Mayan ceremony can be added to any group package, including anniversaries and intimate vow renewals. To learn more about the various wedding packages available at Maroma, click here .
I hope you’ll join us next week, as we share the finale of our Maroma Monday posts, with our final day at Maroma — Our couple’s beach side wedding ceremony and reception. {Hint: If you’re planning a destination wedding, you’ll love the tablescapes and lounge details}!
