Wedding in Acapulco / Boda en Acapulco

 For this wedding, the bride and groom choose to do the ceremony on one of the beaches of Acapulco. The aisle was made with petates (woven palm leave mats) covered with philodendron (tropical leaves).

The ceremony was followed by the reception at a private garden with a waterfront.

The decorations for this wedding were very tropical, with sea shells, starfishes, bamboos, tropical foliage, orchids and concador lilies. Sand sculptures were also one of the distinctive details of this wedding.

An exquisite seafood dinner was served by gourmet chef Susanna Palazuelos, who was also in charge of the staff which provided excellent service.

Para esta boda en Acapulco, los novios escogieron hacer la misa en la playa.

El pasillo se formó con garras de león sobre petates, lo que le siguió con el ambiente tropical con el que se decoró todo el evento, ya que la decoración consistió en estrellas de mar, conchas, caracoles, bambú, follaje tropical, orquídeas, concadores e incluso esculturas de arena en el área de recepción.

El banquete de mariscos y el excelente servicio estuvieron a cargo de la chef Susanna Palazuelos.

A couple from Spain

This young couple from Madrid chose the Mexican Pacific shores to celebrate their union. Their wedding style was tropical and cozy which made all the guests feel like part of their families.
The ceremony happened during a beautiful sunset. After sharing their vows, the couple moved to the hotel's main ballroom, were the toast, the banquet and the party took place.
When the party felt like it was just about to end, a Mariachi band arrived along with fireworks to further extend the hours of fun.

Esta pareja Madrileña, escogió las costas del Pacífico mexicano para celebrar su unión. Su estilo fue cálido, tropical y personal,  ya que hicieron sentir a todos los invitados como parte de su familia.

Tras la misa, la cual se llevó a cabo durante un espectacular atardecer, la pareja se trasladó al salón principal del hotel, donde se realizaron el brindis, el banquete y la fiesta.

Cuando la boda estaba a punto de terminar, llegaron el mariachi y la pirotecnia para extender unas cuantas horas mas la alegría de los novios con sus invitados.

It is located a few kilometers away from Puerto Vallarta on another part of the Bay. Nestled along the shore of a sparsely populated beach, it has incredible views of the bay from every spot.  The natural beauty of this place and the bay become an amazing backdrop for a wedding.

Wedding at the Grand Bay / Isla Navidad

Another event on the beautiful Pacific shores. This wedding was at a special place that has all the factors that help make a wedding spectacular;  the weather, the vegetation, the beach, the backdrop, the service and even the privacy.

For the guests that could take several days to be with the bride and groom, there were some other activities planned such as a barbecue at the beach, a brunch after the wedding and fishing and golf tournaments.

During the wedding's dinner, the main course was an exquisite lobster, a delicacy of the area with a gourmet touch from the chef in charge of the banquet.
The stage, the dancing floor, and the lounge area next to the dining were incredible. Several artists were part of the event either as guests or as part of the program.

After the beautiful first dance and the fireworks show, the party continued with great enthusiasm until Sunday afternoon!

From the smallest event to one with these demanding logistics requirements to manage hundreds of VIP guests for several days, nothing more important for you big day than trusting the work in the best hands!

Nuevamente en las hermosas playas del pacífico. Esta boda se realizó en un lugar único, con todos los factores para hacer un evento espectacular; el clima, la vegetación, la playa, el fondo, el servicio e incluso la privacidad.
En muchas lugares, sobre todo en ciudades o centros turísticos, los horarios son restringidos, pero cuando se cuenta con un lugar exclusivo los eventos se pueden prolongar o planear según los novios deseen.
Para los invitados que pudieron tomarse varios dias para asistir al evento, otras actividades con lo novios fueron planeadas, como parrilladas en la playa, tornaboda y un torneo de golf y de pesca.

En la cena, se ofreció como plato principal una langosta exquisita, especialidad de la zona con el toque gourmet del chef encargado del banquete.
El montaje de la pista, el escenario e incluso una zona lounge junto a la pista, fue espectacular. Varios artistas fueron parte del evento ya sea como invitados o como parte del programa.
Después del emotivo momento en que los novios abrieron pista, el evento continuó con gran ambiente hasta el domingo por la tarde.

Desde un evento sencillo, hasta uno con este nivel de logística y coordinación, con varios dias de eventos y cientos de invitados VIP,  nada mejor que tu día tan especial en las mejores manos.

Wedding in Mazatlan

Mazatlán is nestled along Mexico’s Pacific Coast offering tropical sea and sandy beaches.
Its people are friendly and very welcoming.  It is one of the best options if you want to experience a real Mexican city while being on the coast, with its busy port, and very few international tourists.
One of Mazatlan highlights are the "Pulmonias"; open-air taxis, where you can enjoy views of Malecon while taking a ride.

The following wedding took place at the Mayan Palace Resort with an ocean front ceremony and reception.
A boat decorated with sea-shells, was filled with ice and local beers to welcome and help cool off the guests as they arrived to the reception.
At night, the party was illuminated with torches, candles, and a great beach fire.

Esta evento, fue una boda civil que se llevo a cabo en el Mayan Palace de Mazatlán. Tanto la ceremonia como la fiesta, tuvieron una hermosa vista  a las playas sinaloenses, y en su momento  el  espectacular atardecer en el mar.

Algunas particularidades de la decoración en esta boda, fueron los diversos barriles y lanchas. Estas decoradas con motivos marinos, llenas de hielo y cerveza "Pacifico", para refrescar a los invitados.

Otro toque divertido es que la novia lleguó a la boda en una "Pulmonia" decorada.

Gazebo

As part of the rentals we offer, we have an ornamental gazebo, which is composed of a metalic structure, cupola and ivy.
It is most often used to decorate the altar where the ceremony takes place. During the reception, it can also be used to mark the entrance to the event, or even, as you will see in the following pictures, to place above a dining table to frame it.
This event happened on the Pacific Coast. It was distinguished with Mexican colonial style with Barrocan motifs and vintage lanterns as center-pieces.

Como parte del equipo que tenemos en renta, contamos con un gazebo (kiosko) para decoración.  Esta formado por una estructura, cúpula y enredaderas metálicas como podrán ver en las fotos.

Es normalmente usado durante las ceremonias para enmarcar la mesa del civil o el altar en caso de ceremonias religiosas.   Durante la fiesta se utiliza para indicar la entrada al evento o también para encuadrar la mesa principal.

El evento mostrado en estas fotos, tuvo lugar en el Pacífico.  Se distinguió por el estilo colonial con motivos barrocos.  Los centros de mesa fueron faroles decorados con flores y enredaderas.

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.

Beautiful Caribbean Sea

Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. At the Mayan riviera you can find great wedding locations, from alternative smaller eco-tourism resorts and relaxing boutique hotels, to grand luxe hotels  such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Le Meridien among some others.

This area has places to fit every desire, from internationally known Cancun, to small and calm fishermen towns like Puerto Morelos, Akumal and Tulum.

The Maya Riveria is surrounded by lush nature, unique geological formations like Cenotes, incredible Maya´n ruins and some of the greatest spots for diving.

Definitely a great location to say yes!

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....

Vallarta´s tourism promotional video

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.

Ocean view ceremony

By nature, we all have different styles and preferences, that's why during a wedding it is very difficult to please every guest.  But who wouldn't be enthralled at the beauty of a sunset on the ocean? This is a great option to make that moment more spectacular and dramatic.

Por naturaleza, todos tenemos diferentes gustos y estilos, razón por la cual es muy difícil complacer a todos los invitados en un evento.  Pero, ¿quién no cae rendido ante la belleza de un atardecer en el mar?. Un de las mejores opciones para hacer ese momento mas dramático y espectacular.
