Pros: No stress, extraordinarily beautiful location, value for your money
Cons: Not one single con!
I'm not the best bride...and I'm an even worse decorator!
Through email, and with very little direction from me, our coordinator Blanca created the most beautiful event for us.
There was zero stress. Literally all we did was show up & she took care of the rest.
If I could go back and do it all over, I would honestly not change a single thing. Absolute perfection.
The entire staff at Las Caletas, and of course the boat, were fantastic. Our drinks never reached the empty point without so

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: i CAN'T EVEN THINK OF ONE
If you are looking for a Dream Wedding, you found the place!!! My husband and I got married 2 weeks ago, March 11th at Las Caletas beach and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day.
I coordinated everything via email with Dennnise our wedding planner who was wonderful. It was such an easy process and she was super helpful every step of the way. We went to visit Las Caletas in December to do a site inspection and by the time we met Dennise we felt like she was family. When we ar

Pros: Almost everything
Cons: potentially weather
Blanca, Cristhell, and Jairo were amazing to work with! The food was delicious, wait staff was incredibly helpful, drinks were spectacular and being able to spend the entire day in the bridal suite with my bridesmaids and mother was SO relaxing. The setting is perfect, everyone had a great time and commented on how beautiful Las Caletas is.
Getting married in November was not without its difficulties (was dark pretty early, it was incredibly humid, waves were very choppy and the water even

Our wedding day was effortless and perfect.
When we first started shopping around for wedding vendors we came across Adventure Weddings. The past year we had vacationed to Puerto Vallarta and did a couple excursions with Vallarta Adventures another branch of the company so we knew how amazing they were. Upon reading other reviews we decided this was the direction we wanted to go for our wedding. One thing we found very helpful was other reviews mentioning the time frame for planing

Pros: Venue, Dennise (our wedding planner), Food, Music, Service, EVERYTHING
My mother is the Director of Catering at a hotel and on the side does Wedding Planning - she said this was the BEST wedding she has ever been involved in!! And she is not easy to please. :)
The venue sells itself - it is amazing!
Then the ease to plan with the help and excellent communication by the wedding planner, Dennise, makes the whole event much less stressful than any wedding I have seen my friends or family plan.
The food is fantastic for a buffet, and the service is fabulo

Pros: Everything
Cons: Not a fault of the team itself, but because you get married in the evening, the time you have for a party on the island is reduced. You can pay for extra hours but it is very expensive.
We were lucky enough to stumble across this beautiful location and at the same time, have the lovely Dennise as our wedding coordinator.
We booked our wedding about 14 months in advance and from that time until the wedding day itself Dennise was only too happy to answer our (many) questions. Considering we live about 6,000 miles from Mexico, we were unable to come to Las Caletas to see for ourselves what the venue would look like but Dennise was always more than happy to send us pictures of

Pros: location, food, DJ,
Cons: Wedding planner, photographer, Price in USD
Our wedding day was an amazing day though there are some things I would change about it. It was amazing because of the location, atmosphere, and staff.
I will start with the positive. My favorite memories of that day include the morning with my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law in the bridal suit and on the beach. We were treated like queen's and the lunch served was absolutely amazing. It was so much fun getting ready in the bridal suit and the girls doing our make-up and hair did a f

Pros: Food, DJ, location, beach...basically everything
Cons: none
I was lucky enough to get married at Las Caletas November 23rd, 2015. I was so glad we did a destination wedding off the resort. The location was perfect with the private beach, amazing food and DJ who knew what he was doing. I still hear from guests about how much fun they had. My wedding coordinator Madelyn made me feel relaxed about everything from the beginning and was good at giving input if I was indecisive about what I should do. I was nervous about getting married somewhere I wouldn't ge

Pros: Everything was absolutely perfect!
Cons: There isn't one bad thing about my experience!
This past Thursday I had my dreams come true! Like many girls we start to dream about our weddings as little girls. My wedding exceeded my dreams. It was truly a fairytale wedding! The staff at las caletas were out of this world. From the moment I got there until the we arrived back at the hotel the staff made everyone so comfortable. The day of the wedding 4 girls and myself went over early and all felt like queens. We had our own bridal sweet that was to die for! lunch on our own private patio

We just got married on October 10th at Las Caletas. Cristhell was our photographer. Yes it was hot and humid but there is nothing I would have changed about our wedding day. Cristhell has already sent us a few photos so that we can order our thank-you's and they are AMAZING! She had great ideas and was also open to doing stuff that we wanted to do. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures and I HIGHLY recommend Adventure Weddings at Las Caletas for everyone!!! :D

Pros: Can't find a more beautiful PRIVATE location. Giving your guests that 'excursion' experience of the boat ride was icing on the cake! Food exceeded expectations! DJ was great! I can't rave enough!
Cons: Hot! There is no AC anywhere on the island. Impossible to cool off. The bridal suite to get ready is close to unbearable. Windo units people!
Planning phase: if you have a relaxed attitude this will be an easy experience. Just trust that the place is beautiful and don't get caught in the weeds of specific details. They won't get into the planning until a couple months before and trust me, that's ok! I gave them ideas about bouquets I liked with shells in it and they did a great job. Give them some creative freedom...they are talented florists. Dennise does take some time to respond on emails but relax, she gets back in a few days and

Pros: Amazing decor and wedding planning team!!
Cons: It can be hot depending on the time of year but just remember you are on a private island in Mexico and then you will forget about the heat!!!
I don’t even know where to begin and or how to find the words explain what our experience was like at Las Caletas!!! Our wedding day could not have been more *PERFECT!* Our family and friends cannot stop talking about our wedding and that is was the “best wedding they have ever been to.” I remember being so nervous about planning a destination wedding and never even seeing Las Caletas in person, just in pictures from all my research. Pictures do not even do Las Caletas justice, it is absolute

Pros: Location, staff, price, one of a kind experience
Cons: It does get warm depending on the time of the year
When your guests tell you that this is the best wedding they've even attended, even their own, then you know you've done something right! :)
My husband, boyfriend at the time, and I had attended a wedding at Las Caletas a year earlier. On the boat ride over we looked at each other with excitement. When we arrived we both knew that when it was time to get married we would do it at Las Caletas! 6 months later we were engaged and we immediately called to reserve a date. Dennise was our wedding c

Pros: EVERYTHING!!!
Cons: It had to end :(
This was by far the best wedding I have ever been to as well as our guests- they are still talking about it!
Site Inspection:
You have to get up early-ish depending on where you are staying, but it is SO worth it! Blanca went over everything quickly and efficiently, and made me feel very comfortable leaving all the details in her hands. (She is amazing- very quick with her correspondence prior to meeting and made everything easy and stress-free.) We were able to spend the rest of the af

Pros: Food, staff, early girls, fire dancers, unique experience
Cons: Hot
I titled this review "best wedding ever" because I was told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to, which made me so happy :) Another one of my guests told me that she was expecting a cookie cutter beach wedding, but instead was surprised with a one-of-a-kind experience! Our wedding coordinators Blanca and Jessica were great. Jessica was very responsive and got back to me via email right away with any questions I had. Blanca was great the day of the wedding, e

Where do i begin with this review... PERFECTION!!!!...... When we started looking for a destination wedding location we wanted something a little different than just getting married on a beach resort. When we seen Las Caletas we instantly knew this was the place we were going to get married. From the moment we started planning our wedding communication through email was perfect.
Blanca was our wedding coordinator and i am beyond thankful for her and the work she does. She was absolutely amaz

Absolute perfection! We had the most beautiful wedding in the world and everyone else says so too. My guests have said that no one will be able to beat that and it couldn't have happened without Blanca, my wedding coordinator. She took my vision and made it happen above and beyond my wildest dreams. She was quick to respond to emails, offered advice when asked and accommodated all the times I changed my mind. She is a wedding genius! When I finally got to meet her, she basically had my entir

Pros: staff, wedding coordinator, venue, location, food, music, decorations, organization, professionalism, transportation, bridal suite, groomsmen's terrace, site visit, communication, services, photographer, DJ, minister, ceremony, reception, s'mores,
My husband and I were married at Las Caletas this past April, 2015.
With family spread out across Canada, a destination wedding was the most attractive option for us. We knew we didn't want a resort beach wedding, which meant we'd have to find another venue that would host a wedding ceremony and reception AND that we could plan from afar.
After perusing many destination wedding forums and review sites, we stumbled across Las Caletas. The location looked absolutely beautiful. The re

Pros: Beautiful beach setting, wonderful staff, delicious food, fire dancers, gay friendly
Cons: If I had to say a con it would be that there was no air conditioning in suite
We had our wedding at Las Caletas on Saturday, April 18th. The experience was amazing and not sure there is a more beautiful place to get married. Huge thank you to the entire staff at Vallarta Adventures Weddings. Our coordinator was Jessica Barrios and she was such a pleasure to work with. She always did her best to get back to us in a timely manner with all of her follow up emails. Very detailed and organized and makes sure everything is just perfect! Jesus "Chuy" was our minister and a

Pros: Professional, accommodating, friendly staff, beautiful venue, great atmosphere, amazing food, everything ran very smoothly,
Cons: The only con is that we had to gather all of our stuff immediately after the wedding and bring it on the boat with us, all of our guests had to help lug all our stuff back to the resort. It was a bit chaotic.
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Las Caletas and the staff who made our wedding day one we will never forget! They exceeded our expectations, did everything we asked and were nothing but professional. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the wedding was, from the amazing food and views to the slide show and lanterns on the beach, it was a night to remember! I have to mention the way me and bridesmaids were treated the morning of the wedding - we had an amazing vill

Pros: Beautiful, easy, amazing
Cons: None
My husband and I had our wedding on Las Caletas in April 2015. Dennise was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing from the start.
My husband and I wanted to have a destination wedding (we live in San Diego, CA) and were looking in Mexico at various resorts to have our wedding. Most of the resorts charged by the number of guests and all guests were required to stay at the resort. The pricing was not very clear and we were frustrated. We also wanted the picture-perfect wedding, but did

Pros: EVERYTHING!! SKY LANTERS ARE A MUST!
Cons: Saying goodbye to the staff at las Caletas
My husband and I had our wedding at Las Caletas on Feb 17 ,2015. Everything was so much more than I could have ever imagined. Jessica, our wedding coordinator was so helpful and sweet. I sent her countless of images, questions and ideas, she always returned my emails very promptly. She made me feel like I was the only bride. I can't imagine how many other brides she was helping as well as me! Jessica is amazing at what she does! Pretty well, anything I had in mind... The staff at Las Caletas mad

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Simply put, everything about our experience with this company (a sub-division of Vallarta Adventures) was beyond wonderful. I have given them 5 stars but would happily have given them more if it was possible. An absolutely first-class company and experience they put together for us.
We contacted them 10 months before the wedding, and were a little nervous at first from our friends' experiences with other destination wedding companies (ie. hidden expenses, poor communication, late additions e

Pros: Location, staff, photographer, videographer, DJ-Everything was amazing!
Cons: planning from a distance-but if you're going to do it-do it here!
Every single one of my guests said that our wedding was the most romantic/beautiful/exotic wedding they had ever seen! We are from Alberta, Canada and were looking for something warm and low stress-our travel agent, Elicia Jump, suggested Adventure Weddings in Las Caletas and the rest is history!
I will try to hit all the main points that will help you in planning your wedding in Las Caletas, here goes:
I will admit that trying to plan something as important as your own wedding over emai

Pros: Beautiful scenery, easy planning, delicious food/drink, fun party
Cons: Open flames, no railings on stairs
Judging by the other reviews I want to give Vallarta Adventure the same credit as many other brides and I also want to give future brides some very helpful advice. Yes, the wedding was absolutely perfect in almost every way. From my wonderful wedding coordinator, Fernanda, to the spunky videographer, Freddy, to all of the staff and everyone who helped to make our day the most incredible ever - THANK YOU! The day of the wedding was perfect, the bridal suite was relaxing and fun, the ceremony was
