Night BEFORE Welcome Dinner????


Recommended Posts

Hi All!

So- I've tried searching but can't really see anything relevant here! We are having our welcome party on Friday night and wedding on Saturday night - however, many of our guests will be arriving on Thursday night. Can anyone share anything really fun they have taken a smaller group of guests to do the night BEFORE the Welcome Party/Rehearsal Dinner? I would love to hear ideas!!!! Thanks!

We just had a fun dinner with the people that were here early. There was about 12 of us. We went to this place called Baracuda. It was a small little place next to our hotel but we had fun, the staff was really nice and we got seated right away. We didnt want to do anything to crazy. We learned that the first night people arrive they are tried from their flight and just want to hang out more than do anything too planned or formal.

We just tried to make a point of greeting each group as they arrived with their welcome bags and invited them to join us for dinner at one of the resort restaurants. We also settled on a time to meet at the beach bar each evening to watch the entertainment and socialize. This made it so no one was required or felt obligated, but they had an option. We had our welcome dinner the first night everyone was there which was the night before the wedding.

Hi,

My planners told me about these two places, also Ztai was mentioned on the forum a few times:

 

Ztai restaurant-bar.

 

Address: Street: Morelos 7373, Dowtown

 

ZTAI RESTAURANT, LOUNGE AND GARDEN, PUERTO VALLARTA

 

Holds three concepts in the same place. In the first floor you will find the restaurant with International cuisine, features pastas, pizzas, sushi, meat and sea food on its menu; besides, a cava with more than 800 wine. Deck, is a place with an independent bar, with traditional beverages and cocktails. In the second floor is the Lounge with DJ music, view to the Malecón and International cocktail drinks. The deck and part of the restaurant is an outdoor area.

 

 

 

La bodeguita del medio restaurant-bar.

 

Ocean view. Cuban music.

 

Address: Paseo Diaz Ordaz 858, Dowtown

 

La Bodeguita del Medio

 

This authentic Cuban restaurant and bar is known for its casual energy, terrific live Cuban music, and mojitos. It is a branch of the original Bodeguita in Havana and has a small souvenir shop that sells Cuban cigars, rum, and other items. The downstairs has large wooden windows that open to the malecón.

Assuming your welcome party isn't already in puerto vallarta..ie. i think i remember you saying it was at the place you are staying...take them into vallarta..go for cocktails...mandala and ztai both great places...lots of other new upscale places on the malecon as well..I'd show them a little bit of downtown wink.gif Good luck planning :)

Thanks all for your great suggestions!! I'm looking into all of these now... last time I was there we did go to dinner at Hacienda San Angel and it was so beautiful with such great views, we were considering that.. but just not sure how many people will want to do something. Knowing our group- people will be ready to hit the town!

Thanks again all!!!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
