I consider myself to be very creative. For as long as I can remember I have been inclined towards attention to detail, art, design and crafts. That's how I ended up studying for a Bachelor’s degree in ``Event Design and Organization”. Armando was one of my teachers in college, and later introduced me to Paulina, who invited me to be part of Via Destination. From the moment I joined the team, I was welcomed with open arms and they shared with me with their passion for creating personalized events that exceed clients' expectations. Currently I assist our clients with concierge services. I support them in everything related to their wedding, event or trip to this Caribbean Eden. The purpose of my work at Via Destination is to answer all the questions our clients may have, so that way our clients can have a stress-free wedding or event and focus entirely on enjoying their event.

Cancun and I grew up hand in hand, watching each other with enormous affection. Cancun offers me its benefits to develop professionally and as a human being, and I am proud to showcase this beautiful destination to visitors, couples, corporate groups and all those who would like to have the wonderful experience of celebrating a walk, a wedding or any other event in this Mexican paradise. Since public relations comes naturally to me, I am frequently involved in political and charity events, helping to preserve and promote the services and beauty of my city and state. I have an innate tendency to be a cosmopolitan businessman, that's why I studied International Trade. After we were married, my wife Paulina and I moved to Delaware, USA, where for several years I worked for a major restaurant chain. Later, thinking about the immense beauty and natural possibilities of Cancun, we decided to return and start a catering business. With almost fifteen years of experience working in the events and hospitality industry, we have learned to meet and satisfy the highest expectations of our clients. Currently and with great satisfaction, I am in charge of the corporate events, as well as support in the logistics and operation of our Destination Weddings.

I am a Mexico City lady living in Cancun since 2005 and that's when my journey began! Passionate about organization, trends and my talking skills (LOL), I have been doing Corporate Events and Destination Weddings for more than 10 years in 5 Star Resorts in Cancun & Riviera Maya. I am specialized in Multicultural weddings including Hindu, Jewish, Persian and Catholic ceremonies and traditions and have worked on more than 700 weddings in the past years. On the other hand, I have the expertise to plan and execute Conference, Convention and incentive Trips. The adrenaline and excitement I get when planning a destination wedding or a Conference fills my heart and soul plus it really is what makes me happy; it gives me the opportunity to always innovate and create something unique and fresh for each client. I have a Degree in Tourism and it has been amazing seeing all the changes and evolution of this beautiful industry during the years. I live in Cancun with my husband and son Nicolás. I love to travel and meet new people and pretty much enjoy time at home with the family. I love to meeting couples and clients and sharing with them and their loved ones what Mexico has in store for you!

Since I was a teenager, I loved organizing my little brother's parties and making sure everything was perfect. Now in my profession, that perfectionism is focused on my clients and to making everything just the way they envision. I studied International Marketing because I wanted to learn the basics to start my own business. During college, together with my best friend, I started my first business, a student travel agency. I married Armando and we moved to Delaware, United States. Later, we went to Cancun and started a banquet and events company where I learned about gastronomy, etiquette, protocol and service. I acquired a passion for serving others while creating a pleasant environment to enjoy a good meal with pleasant company. When working on my first wedding banquets I fell in love with creating a beautiful environment to celebrate a couple’s love. I also saw a need for wedding couples to find a reliable company that really cared about making their dreams come true so they could be calm knowing that the organization of the best weekend of their lives would taken care of by expert hands, so I decided to create Via Destination along with Vivian to achieve this goal. Achieving a perfect and successful destination wedding or event requires a whole team behind it. In my spare time, I work with young people, organizing events to help them improve their potential and living conditions so that they can benefit from a better future and have a commitment to improving society.

I love traveling, I practice yoga, scuba diving and love to nature. I currently live in Philadelphia, PA and I am part of the sales team. Living outside my home country of Mexico has enhanced my love for it and has created a great commitment to show the very best that it has: culture, gastronomy, landscapes and above all, its people. The spirit of service and warmth that Mexicans share with visitors is recognized worldwide. Therefore, for me it is essential to know the needs of each of our clients and help them find the perfect venue for their wedding or event in our beautiful Mexican paradise. I am also passionate about recommending venues that have a great commitment to the environment. I studied International Relations. During college, I worked at a company that organized seminars, conferences and trade shows focused on the tech industry and it was there I discovered the world of events. Later I worked in the hospitality industry, where I learned everything related to groups, gastronomy and public relations. Paulina invited me to create Via Destination which was very exciting for me. I knew we would make an excellent team since we have been friends for over 20 years and we know our strengths and complement each other very well. The most important thing for us is that everyone arrives and leaves happy!
