The proposal
One of the reasons why I love weddings is because I get to be part of one of the most beautiful and important moments in people's lives. To help the couple create the day they dream of, is a joyful profession. With this particular couple; Sebastian and Patricia, I got the chance to be part of the wedding starting with the proposal.
I found for Sebastian a beautiful and empty penthouse in one of the most exclusive areas in town. We set up a dining area for the two, thousands of candles, roses, and even tablecloth and towels with their initials embroidered on them.
Sebastian picked up Patty on a Thursday around 6 pm, telling her that they were going to a company cocktail. When they got to the building lobby, one of our team workers (pretending to be a greeter for the "event") checked if they were on the list, and also checked if Sebastian had the "invitation" with him.
He then escorted them to the 13th floor penthouse....
When Patty came in, she didn't understood what was going on. Sebastian took her to the master bedroom's balcony. He then proposed while an amazing spectacle of fireworks commenced outside and yes, he was on his knees.
When they came back to the living room where the surprise was set, they had a beautiful candle light dinner, champagne, great music, and a romantic night time view of all the city.
Our "greeter" who is actually one of our favorite photographers was ready to capture the moment for the couple. Here are the wonderful photos from the evening.
Sebastián pasó por Paty un jueves al rededor de las 6pm pidiendole que la acompañara a una presentación de un proyecto y cocktail.

Una de las razones por las que me gusta planear bodas, es porque puedo ser parte de uno de los momentos mas importantes en la vida de las personas. Ayudarles a crear su dia tal cual lo esperan, es una profesión muy grata. Con esta pareja en particular, Sebastián y Paty, tuve la oportunidad de estar en la planeación desde que Sebastián tenia listo en anillo para la propuesta.
Conseguí, para ellos, un pent-house lindisimo en una de las áreas mas exclusivas de la ciudad. Se hizo todo el montaje en el salón principal con velas, rosas, pétalos, mesa para 2 y hasta las toallas y servilletas tenian las iniciales de los novios, todo con mucho detalle.

Cuando llegaron al lobby del edificio, una persona de nuestro equipo, quien pretendía ser parte de la bienvenida al cocktail, checó si estaban en la lista y tomó la invitación al evento para acompañarlos al piso 13 del penthouse.
Cuando Paty entró, aun no sabiendo muy bien de lo que se trataba, Sebastián la llevó al balcón de la habitación principal, en donde se llevó a cabo la propuesta y un espectáculo de pirotecnia cuando Sebastian estaba de rodillas.
Ya al regresar al salón principal, estaba lista la cena japonesa junto con el champagne, buena música, velas y una vista increíble a la ciudad de noche.
Nuestro actor "recepcionista" quien es de echo uno de nuestros fotografos favoritos pudo captar este momento tan especial para la pareja ya de regreso al salón principal.
Aquí compartimos con Ustedes fotos de esta noche tan especial.
Colima / Hacienda San Antonio
I've had the opportunity to work in every state of Mexico. I've visited exquisite gardens, beaches, and the most beautiful places for events. Among all the places I've seen, I can say with 100% certainty that the Hacienda San Antonio is one of the top 5 most beautiful haciendas in Mexico, and by the far the best maintained gardens and rooms.
It is located in Colima state, at the foot of one of Mexico´s highest volcanos (12,665feet) which makes the view even more magestic.
The hacienda features excellent service, luxurious rooms and facilities. It is extremely private and exclusive. This makes it an amazing location for a honeymoon, or a very private wedding. The number of rooms are purposely limited in order to maintain the highest quality of service and privacy. Therefore large events (70+) are not possible here, only more intimate events that demand the very best in service and setting.
With pride we can say that Grupo Chalita is part of a very small group of special providers that works for the Hacienda San Antonio.

He tenido la oportunidad de trabajar en cada estado de México, y puedo decir que conozco los rincones mas bellos e importantes de la República. Jardines, playas y lugares increíbles.... Con esta referencia me atrevo a afirmar con toda la seguridad que la Hacienda San Antonio, es una de las 5 haciendas mas lindas de México, y por mucho la mejor mantenida.
Se ubica en las faldas del Volcán de Colima, uno de los mas altos en México con 3,860m. Lo cual hace que el paisaje y la vista del lugar sean aun mas majestuosos.
Sus mayores características son el buen gusto, el excelente servicio, el lujo y la gran privacidad que tiene, lo cual lo hacen un lugar privilegiado para la luna de miel, o una boda exclusiva, ya que no manejan grupos grandes, debido al número de suites con las que cuentan, y la cocina gourmet personalizada.
Con orgullo podemos decir, que Grupo Chalita es parte de su grupo de proveedores especiales de la hacienda.
Aguascalientes
This wedding took place in the colonial city of Aguascalientes, in central Mexico. The ceremony happended in the city´s cathedral and later the reception was held in front of San Marcos Lagoon, a beautiful stretch of water sourrounded by a semi-desert climate that made the afternoon gorgeous.
The reception was decorated by our friend Fernando Arteaga who did a great job with orange tulips, roses and carnations.

Esta boda se llevo a cabo en Aguascalientes. La ceremonia fue en la catedral de la ciudad, y mas tarde la recepción fue frente a la Laguna de San Marcos.
El lago y el clima semi-desértico de Aguascalientes le dio una vista hermosa al evento, además de que fue decorado por nuestro amigo Fernando Arteaga, quien dejó el evento espectacular usando rosas, claveles y tulipanes naranjas.
Cuernavaca
This ceremony took place surrounded by the magnificant tropical nature of Cuernavaca, the city of endless spring because of its weather.
It was kept simple with not many colors or different elements in order to be in harmony with the garden.
The white chairs, white linen, white roses and petals created an atmosphere for a perfect afternoon garden ceremony.

Esta boda se llevó a cabo un jardín rodeado de la exuberante vegetación de Cuernavaca, ciudad conocida como de la eterna primavera por su agradable clima.
La decoración fue sencilla sin diferentes colores o elementos para conservar la armonía del jardín.
Sillas, lino, rosas y pétalos blancos fueron los elementos que crearon la ambientación para esta boda al medio dia.
Isla Navidad
After the ceremony (last post), the guests walked along the coast until they got to the reception, between the ceremony and the reception mango margaritas, pacifico beer and piña colada were offered along with Marimba music.
The reception was classic, the location was great. It took place on the beach, in front of a sea-lagoon surrounded by lush vegetation that included lots of flowers and palm trees. The mountains and an colonial-style exclusive lodge were the backdrop. A total of 500 guests gattered to be with the happy couple.
Four of the best memories of this wedding were;
-The fireworks show as the couple were dancing their first song as a married couple.
-Michelle and Dwane McConnel, a great singer couple from New York entertained the guests during the banquet.
-The food was outstanding.
-The ambiance was great, especially as the reception finished after sunrise.
If you are looking for a private location for your wedding, you should consider this island. Nestled between the Pacific ocean and Navidad Lagoon. It was conceived as an international destination. It has 1,200 acres featuring a 27-hole golf course, two marinas, tennis ranch, spa, a grand luxery hotel and a lodge. Far from any city and 30min away from Manzanillo international airport.
Sunset by the sea
This wedding took place during sunset, which made the ceremony more romantic and moving. The area was next to a cliff, surrounded by the sea. A very unique place.
We created the setting from scratch. We did the altar, the furniture, and even created an aisle made out of grass just as the bride wished. Surrounding the altar, we had giant ferns from Colima and bougainvillea flowers.
The timing was perfect. As the sun set the priest pronounced them husband and wife. By the end of the ceremony it was already dark, and when the bride and groom were walking down the aisle there were fireworks to celebrate their union.
The wedding kept going with a welcome cocktail and then a gorgeous reception that you can see in the following post.
Aisles and pillar candles
To mark, reduce or help create a path for your guests in a wide area, you can line it with pillar candles.
They are an attractive alternative for decorating the aisle you walk down, specially if you want to make it more formal, elegant or traditional.
Para crear, reducir o marcar un camino para tus invitados una opción que te recomendamos son los cirios, especialmente para hacer lucir los pasillos de la iglesia mas elegantes, formales y/o tradicionales. Aquí les presentamos unos ejemplos usando los cirios de Haus Gallery.

Puerto Vallarta
You spend so long planning for your special day, and then that day goes by so fast! All your friends and family that traveled to be there, that you haven´t seen in so long, and you wish you could have spent more time with them.
That is why we recommend destination weddings. Then it's not just a wedding, but a vacation for you and your guests. It becomes less about just a single day, but more about a whole trip. You will have more time with friends and family and can even have several little activities or events that build up to your special day. Instead of frantically trying to see everybody at once, you have the chance to see people throughout the trip, letting you relax and just enjoy your wedding.
One of our suggestions for a destination wedding in Mexico is Puerto Vallarta and its surrounding area.
It has international gourmet chefs and restaurants, awesome activities (hiking, diving, snorkeling, sailing, boat trips, kayaking, whale watching....), fun nightlife, the downtown has all the tradition of a small Mexican town, and the weather is great specially during autumn, winter and spring. There are often lots of affordable flights and a variety of hotel and resort options so overall the costs can be similar or even less than a local wedding.
Definitely one of the 3 best areas in Mexico to get married....

Tanto tiempo y esfuerzo para planear una boda, y el día de la boda pasa tan rapido!, algunos invitados hace tanto tiempo no ves, que viajaron desde tan lejos, y sientes que no pasaste casi tiempo con ellos.
Es por eso que recomendamos las bodas en playa o en lugares fuera de tu ciudad, ya que tus invitados se tomaran algunos dias extras para estar en la boda, y puedes aprovechar esos dias para programar otras actividades con ellos y hacer que tu boda dure mas tiempo.
Una de nuestras sugerencias para boda en playa es Puerto Vallarta y sus alrededores.
La gastronomía es una de las mejores en México, cuenta con excelentes restaurantes, muchas opciones para actividades alternativas, la vida nocturna es divertidisima, y el centro sigue siendo típico, el malecón lo tienen que visitar !.
También te puedes olvidar del frio ya que fuera de la temporada de lluvias, ofrece un excelente clima.
Definitivamente uno de los mejores lugares para casarte.
