I don’t know where to begin this review.  We just got married this past Saturday, March 15, 2014. 

Blanca, Blanca, Blanca!

I am an event planner myself – I do high-end events all over the world and have super high expectations when it comes to events.  When researching a destination wedding in Mexico I started to go the private villa route until my sister found Las Caletas.  To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical going with something that had “Adventures” in their title for my wedding.  I was worried about my wedding being cheesy.  As I did a TON of research, all reviews, and I mean ALL, were over-the-top positive.  I went ahead and nervously booked it, site unseen.  Blanca was assigned to me as my wedding coordinator and from there we started our long distance relationship J .  Best decision ever...

I was VERY particular about everything from how many glasses at each place setting to the cake to where the menus were placed at each setting.  I would say I was definitely a high-maintenance bride. It was hard for me to hand off control when I’m so used to being on the other side planning.

Blanca EXCEEDED my expectation in every way, shape, form.  A lot of Las Caletas reviews start with “I can’t begin to tell you” or “I can’t describe how gorgeous”…let me tell you how true that it.  Blanca nailed every SINGLE thing flawlessly.  When I walked down to the site (before everyone got there) to see what she had done with my vision, I cried.  It was the most magical space I have ever seen.  Everyone said the same thing “I wouldn’t be able to describe this to anyone – it’s the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to in my life”.

The entire day in incredible – it’s so relaxing, you literally don’t lift a finger.  Blanca makes everything look so easy – always being so calm with a million things going on around her.  She is so professional and wants to make sure your day is absolutely perfect.  I can’t begin to say enough about her.

The staff – where do I begin – they are the most gracious, polite, go above and beyond staff you will EVER work with.  Anything you need, it’s there.  Immediately.  Guests couldn’t believe it.  We needed a wheelchair last minute, done.  They saw your glass empty, it was filled.  You needed a special plate for a guest with allergies (that I forget to mention) it was out in 10 minutes max.  They were all so sweet – I want to thank every single person for their hard work…incredible.  The woman lighting and re-lighting hundreds and hundreds of candles  all night, always making sure they were perfect - thank you!  You made it look spectacular all evening long!

The food - I usually really dislike buffets - especially for a wedding.  This buffet is FIRST CLASS - it was incredible, they had it set up in 2 spots so no one ever had to wait for anything.  People said it was the best food they had in Mexico all week long!  There was something for everyone.

Our cake - I cut out a picture in a magazine - it was EXACTLY spot on gorgeous - thank you to the baker!  Guests said it was the best wedding cake they've ever tasted - some saying "I don't even usually eat wedding cake, I ate the whole thing".

The DJ – RAFAEL – I always get nervous with the music – it can make or break a wedding.  I’m SO glad I went with the Las Caletas DJ, you can’t get any better – no way.  So don’t even bother with bringing your own – Rafael knows the sound system, the lighting system and he’s seriously the best.   He has the best read on the crowd and played EVERYTHING we wanted.

The boat ride back - I laugh when I even think about how much fun that was!  Walking to  the boat from the site - was gorgeous - the ocean is lit up under the boat and makes for a spectacular site!

I could go on and on and on!  I just had to write this to let everyone out there know – if you’re looking for the best destination wedding in the world (I’ve done events at Four Seasons Bora Bora, Hawaii, Costa Rica) – this topped them all.  Don’t look any further and book this now J .  You will have the most stress-free, budget friendly, unforgettable, one-of-a-kind wedding that will blow anything you picture...out of the water.

Thank you to all at Las Caletas, especially Blanca Ramirez – you made it a night that we, nor our guests, will never forget!

Salud!
