We had the Wedding of our dreams at Petit Lafitte in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!!! I have been coming to Petit Lafitte (previously known as Capitan Lafitte) since I was 2 years old. This place truly is a slice of heaven and will be visiting here for many years to come!
My wife and I toured many venues for our Wedding in Maya Rivera. We didn’t like the boilerplate/restrictive offering of the larger resorts and upscale boutique resorts were significantly more expensive without meaningful value add. Petit Lafitte is the ideal place for a destination wedding or a vacation. The hotel is picturesque and quaint, the staff is incredibly friendly and food is on point. Buying out the resort gives you the ability to create a truly unique experience we wouldn’t be able to replicate anywhere else.
It was 3 days of events including a welcome party, traditional American Wedding and an Indian Wedding. Paola is their new in-house planner, and she did an amazing job executing our plans during the week of the Wedding!. We really enjoyed working with Paola because of her positive energy and responsiveness. She is always in a good mood and being able to clearly communicate in English or Spanish through What’sApp made our lives easier while we planned our destination wedding. In the months leading up to the Wedding, Paola met with us multiple times over zoom and in person. She helped us nail down a timeline, coordinate Petit Lafitte’s services and gave us vendor recommendations. One of the attractive parts about a Petit Lafitte Wedding, is your ability to hire outside vendors without being priced gouged or restricted like so many of the larger resorts. We found most of our vendors via online search or personal recommendations and were very happy with our choices.
Our only complaint was regarding some early miscommunications with guest reservations. These were ultimately resolved by management. Our 3-day Wedding included many moving parts which required a ton of coordination the week of. Each day, the entire staff gave it their all and truly came together to provide us with our dream wedding.

Paola and the whole team at Petit Lafitte helped us coordinate the most special wedding weekend for our 100+ guests! The staff treat you like family and we were able to create an intimate, fun, and personalized wedding party with their help. The grounds are so beautiful and rustic and because of the smaller size of the hotel, we were able to have the place entirely to ourselves for our guests. A bonus in these Covid times! The wedding itself went better than I could have imagined - everything was taken care of by Paola. I highly recommend this spot for a wedding!
