We ended up going with Puerto Vallarta Tours and are using them twice for our transportation needs. Airport pickup and rountrip to our welcome dinner. They have been wonderful to work with and are the least expensive.

Ladies - only 2 1/2 weeks until we leave. Yippee! I was feeling very organized and had a conference call with Kelley yesterday to finalize everything. Now I feel even better. I am taking the day away from the office tomorrow to run a few errands (pick up our rings, my dress, etc). We are getting legally married this weekend so that piece will also be done ahead of time. I can't wait!!!! Welcome to Amy! Trisha

I'm not even getting married there - just staying there for the week with my 75 guests, and both the wedding coordinators and the concierge have been fantastic. They usually respond to my email questions within an hour. They've helped me to hire a cigar roller, book spa appointments before I arrive, estimate taxi cost to specific locations, etc. Fantastic service! - 2 1/2 weeks until we depart : )

Congrats! We booked 9 months out and it was such a relief to pay the deposit and finally have confirmation!! Britt - we did decide on Barcelona Tapas. We met Bill and ate there twice in March and he has been very easy to work with throughout the process. I cannot wait. I think the view is so stunning and I think our guests will just LOVE it! We've hired buses to take us to BT from Nuevo on Monday 11/2 for the welcome event. We are expecting about 70 and will have the entire rooftop area. Hooray! I'll confirm with Kelley about the starfish. Thank you! Trisha

Post Groom and GM attire
verh0016 replied to TammyWright's topic in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings
My finance is wearing a tan linen suit by Perry Ellis from Macy's. The groomsmen have matching pants and ordered white linen shirts from Isladn Importer: Linen Majorca Shirt - Island Importer Brown leather sandals for everyone. -
Congrats and welcome to the club! Do you have any photos of the wedding structure? They were still building it when I was there back in Feb. Although I'm not getting married there, i am staying there for a week with my wedding guests. You will not be disappointed. The grounds are lovely! Cheers, Trisha

Congrats to everyone on here who has recently booked LC dates! How exciting. I've been busy with work and buying a new house (yay) so I haven't wirtten in awhile. Sorry! Less then 3 months until my day - so I've been working on last minute details such as itinerary, getting my dress fitted, etc. The only thing I'm bringing down for my table decor is floating candles (Kelley can't get them) and table numbers (because they match my invites) . The rest, she is organizing - table runners, floral (which I sent her photos of). Easy! Andi - LOVE the TTD photos. I just sent the link to Luke so he knows what we'll be doing on November 4th : )

We are also getting married here before we go down. Since nothing legal needs to take place, we've asked a friend to preside over the ceremony. I wrote the whole thing, so it is very personal. I think it will be best to have him do it so we know what we are getting : ) Sandy, I would love to see the activities schedule. I also love the idea of ordering some champagne to do a toast the night we arrive on the rooftop lounge. Fantastic! my personal email is taverhasselt at yahoo.com Thanks!! - Trisha

Great to hear Sandy about the visit. The reviews are getting worse on trip advisor, but they seem to me that people are just complaining because it is hot (hello - it is July in Mexico) and things are under staffed (which is typical for this time of the year!). Sandy or H & F - are they charging you extra to do welcome drinks on the sushi rooftop patio - or are you just telling people to meet there? I think I am going to do the same thing! - Trisha

LUke and I are also getting married in MN about two weeks before we come down to Mexico. Even if we were able to do it legally at LC - I did not want to bother with running around, getting blood work, etc. etc. I am there to enjoy the week!! Andi - Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm working with Kelley on my decor details now, so it is very helpful. My colors are chocolate brown and chartreuse green. Lots and lots of limes!!! I can't wait.

Amber - i was there late Feb and they had concrete poured for the base of a gazebo which the wedding coordinator told me they would be using for future weddings. Sorry I don't have a photo though. It took them a few days to respond to my emails toom so don't worry yet. I can probably guess that yes, some of the negative reviews are attributed to low tourism right now. Additionally, this is their low season, so staff is not near what it is during the heavy season. Yes - you will find complainers anywhere in the worl, so I'm not letting a negative review get me down. It will all be fine! - Trisha

Booking - Timing Question
verh0016 replied to Sandy's topic in Destination Weddings in Puerto Vallarta & surrounding areas
Sandy - One thing to note - we found it cheaper to have our guests book through a site like expedia or orbitz rather than have Dreams VM block rooms. Our timing was this: 10 months prior - send save the dates with our website info 8 months prior - email everyone resort and travel information (immediate family and bridal party all booked right away - others have been trickling in since) 3-4 months prior (which is right now) - send invitations out and hope those sitting on the fence make a decision. People will figure it out on their own. We found it was best to give them the resort info and let them book on their own. We have people coming from all different airports all over the US and staying for different amounts of time. We currently have 68 people booked and anticpate settling on around 80. - Hope this helps, Trisha
