Xanath Banuelos: Hospitality‑Led Planning for Culturally‑Rich “I Do”s
July 15th, 2025
A Welcome Before Anything Else
Xanath Banuelos opens every planning call with one goal: make your guests feel at home the moment they book a flight. Her studio—part wedding‑planning house, part boutique travel agency—treats logistics as an act of care, echoing our own brand pillars of connection, comfort and trust . From customised arrival guides to bilingual concierge chats, every touchpoint is designed to remove stress so emotion can take centre stage.
Curating Culture Through Travel
Working between Cancún, Mexico City and Madrid gives Xanath a rare intuition for place. She weighs sunrise colours on the Gulf against cathedral acoustics in Spain, then threads those atmospheres through menus, music and movement. That sensitivity mirrors the Diego Rodríguez commitment to storytelling with intention—letting environment shape narrative instead of imposing a template .
Experience First, Décor Second
Xanath’s design process starts with questions about childhood flavours, family anthems and shared journeys. Décor choices follow only after the sensory arc feels right. A Mayan cacao welcome shot may pair with a Spanish guitar trio at cocktail hour; terrace florals might echo the jacaranda your guests saw on their ride in. When hospitality leads, details feel effortless, giving couples the calm presence our photography needs to capture genuine joy
Why True Hospitality Translates Into Timeless Frames
Guests who feel cared for forget about cameras. They laugh louder during sunrise yoga, linger longer over mezcal tastings and lean into spontaneous dance‑floor dips—all moments that crystallise beautifully in a documentary frame. Our brand values “emotion, presence and soulful detail” thrive in that atmosphere , turning every candid into an heirloom with minimal staging.
Imagine Your Own Destination Narrative
Picture welcome tote bags filled with local vanilla pods and artisan sal de gusano. See a ceremony aisle dusted with marigold petals that echo two cultures’ shared sun theology. Hear a reception playlist that drifts from bolero to flamenco as the night deepens. Trends fade, but an experience woven from the places and memories that shaped you—and delivered with impeccable hospitality—will age as gracefully as the cliffs of Tepoztlán or the marble of Madrid. When you’re ready to give your guests that feeling, Xanath Banuelos will script the journey, and I’ll be there, camera steady, preserving each unscripted heartbeat.
