Sandra Solis & Joel Hammeke

A celebration of family, legacy, and love on the Generations Pier.


Sandra and Joel chose Generations Riviera Maya as the place to celebrate their destination wedding—a setting that matched their energy perfectly: warm, joyful, intimate, and deeply connected to family. Surrounded by palm trees, ocean breeze, and loved ones traveling from both the United States and Mexico, their wedding day unfolded with a beautiful balance of emotion, laughter, and presence.


From the quiet moments during getting ready to the emotional walk down the pier, Sandra and Joel embraced every part of the experience. Their ceremony on the Generations Pier felt intimate and heartfelt, with the sea as their witness and family standing close—especially their three daughters, who played a meaningful role throughout the day.
