Secrets Playa Blanca Wedding: Lauren & Justin’s Unforgettable Destination Celebration in Cancun
A destination wedding is always magical, but Lauren and Justin’s wedding at Secrets Playa Blanca in Cancun, Mexico was a love story come to life. Taking place October 16–17, this multi-day event brought together family and friends from across the country to celebrate two of the kindest, most joyful people you’ll ever meet.
From the moment we arrived in Cancun, Lauren’s family welcomed us with open arms. Lauren’s mom, Lisa, became a dear friend throughout the planning process, so watching her vision and Lauren’s vision come together was extra special. Their wedding planners, Liz Moore Weddings and Paulette Lemble Weddings & Events, coordinated everything beautifully to make sure every guest felt like part of something unforgettable.
The festivities kicked off with a vibrant welcome party at the resort. Guests enjoyed authentic Mexican cuisine, festive drinks, and a lively mariachi band—all under the warm Caribbean sky. The atmosphere was pure celebration.
The next morning, anticipation filled the air as we met Lauren and Justin in their bridal and groom suites. Lauren selected stunning green dresses for her two bridesmaids, while Justin and his groomsmen wore relaxed linen suits. Justin stood out in a custom suit that was equal parts dashing and classic.
Their Secrets Playa Blanca wedding ceremony took place in a courtyard with lush tropical scenery and ocean breeze. Guests found their seats as Lauren walked down the aisle toward her forever. Their vows were heartfelt, their smiles contagious.
After a sweet cocktail hour, we whisked the couple away for portraits—don’t miss those, because wow. As the sun set, the celebration continued with dinner, dancing, cold sparklers, and speeches full of laughter and happy tears. Even a little rain couldn’t stop the joy. The grand finale? A stunning fireworks display over the water.
From beginning to end, this destination wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, fun, and pure love. Lauren and Justin, you’ve become more than clients—you’re cherished friends. We can’t wait to see where life takes you next. Until then, enjoy this sneak peek of your unforgettable wedding weekend!
