Renting a villa means I don't have to pay for all those "guest" fees to have a makeup/hair/florists/DJ/mariachi band etc come. Also, we can end the party later than at a resort. But I have never rented a villa before and never really know about how to do so. Any of you know really good websites to search for villas? Also, what kinds of things should I be asking in terms of contracts, fees, etc? I have no clue when it comes to renting villas so ANY information would be of great help !! Thank you so much!

Hello diana22,

Our favorite villa is http://www.villasolyluna.com/ and it offers the white sandy beach and secluded!

I booked my wedding at a villa in Akumal and used www.locogringo.com. They have a great search functionality (by number of guests, wedding venue) and lots of photos to help you make your decision. We were negotiate to have the villa owner waive the wedding event fee, since we're only having the ceremony there. Very affordable too, depending on the season (about $40/night per person!).

Hola ladies! We've just shared a NEW wedding at Casa Chic, a great private villa in Tulum. Very intimate, pretty setting on a beautiful beach, perfect for a very private and special occasion. Here is some inspiration for you from the wedding of Katharine and Saul.
