A huge congratulations to Azhala & Ebani! 💕 Their A huge congratulations to Azhala & Ebani! 💕

Their love story started in the sweetest way, through a mutual friend, their wedding hairstylist! What began as nonstop conversations turned into traveling the world together, and they just knew they had something special. On their very first trip to Mexico as a couple, Ebani popped the question, so of course they had to come back to say "I do" in that same magical place. ✨

A destination wedding was always the plan for these two, and honestly? Who can blame them? Combining their wedding and honeymoon into one unforgettable trip just made sense. They chose UNICO 20 87 for its incredible food and stunning aesthetics, then made it their own by adding a dance floor to keep the party going all night. 💃

Azhala & Ebani describe their wedding as "fun, seamless, and unforgettable", with some of their favorite memories being a pre-wedding night out at the on-site nightclub and lounging by the pool with the people they love most. 

Their advice for future couples: Trust the process!

"My best advice is to trust your destination wedding planner and coordinators to lead you. They will make sure you have the best wedding day!"
