Cory + Mike, a dynamic duo hailing from the bustling streets of New York, brought their beachfront dreams to life with a splash of tropical flair at their Macaws wedding in Avellanas.
In true New York style, Cory + Mike left no detail untouched. Each sported a custom cologne, a fragrant reminder of their love story brewed in the heart of the city. Their personalized vow books, adorned with their initials, held promises as timeless as the ocean's waves.

But before the dance floor heated up, they kicked off the festivities with a Welcome Pool Party at the vibrant Alang Alang House. Guests were greeted with custom Pura Vida bracelets, a token of the couple’s appreciation for their presence.
From the moment they stepped onto the sun-kissed sands of Playa Avellanas, it was clear this couple was ready to turn up the volume on their love story. They said “I do” in a ceremony that overlooked the endless horizon, surrounded by the gentle caress of ocean breezes.
