Featured Wedding: Erin and Peter

Erin and Peter are celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary and we want to share their story with you.

Erin contacted Adventure Weddings last May regarding a small wedding to be held at Las Caletas. Erin and her fiancé Peter had been planning a large wedding back home that was to be held the following year. But things went awry. Simply put; they were fed up, stressed out and agreed to change plans.

 
They decided to book a Mexican Riviera cruise and wanted to get married in Las Caletas while they were in port in Puerto Vallarta.

 
“Originally we planned to have a big wedding at home but changed our minds last minute. A month before our wedding date, I called Adventure Weddings, booked and planned our entire wedding in about a half an hour.” explained Erin.

 
Their only challenge was that they were having a Jewish ceremony and there was not a rabbi available for them, so instead they decided to hire one on their own and fly him down to perform the ceremony. Unfortunately, this is where things started to get a little sticky.

 
On the morning of the wedding, Nicole, the wedding coordinator for Adventure Weddings, was scheduled to convene with Erin and Peter after their cruise ship docked at the pier and where the Vallarta Adventures boat would be departing to take them to Las Caletas.  Nicole was to meet the Rabbi there as well since he was staying at a nearby hotel after flying in the night before.

 
Erin and Peter disembarked off the cruise ship with their families, met up with Nicole and wedding staff, the wedding dresses were hung, the stylist was onboard and everyone was excited and ready to go, but no sign of the rabbi. So they waited. And waited. And waited. Everyone was a little worried to say the least and in the end they had to depart to Las Caletas, sans rabbi.

 
No one thought that the rabbi would miss the boat but he did and the perfect wedding was starting to be not so perfect.

Nicole, one not to crack under pressure, got on the phone and found a back up minister and put him on stand-by.  She made a few more phone calls and within an hour the rabbi showed up at Las Caletas in a private speedboat with the sales manager of Vallarta Adventures as his escort.

 
Three hours later, Erin walked down a cascading flight of stairs towards her all white wedding party and Peter, the man of her dreams. The ceremony was brilliant, emotional and filled with energy. Rabbi John was amazing and worth every effort to get him to the wedding on time.

 
The setting was ideal for their picture perfect wedding and the whole family joined Vincent and Ulisses, the Adventure Wedding photographers for a beach photo shoot afterwards. Later, they enjoyed a beachside lunch on the terrace, toasted their new life together with champagne, cut their beautiful wedding cake and danced on the sand.

 
And a year later, we welcome their baby, Samuel Myles.

Congratulations Erin and Peter on the birth of your son and your 1st wedding anniversary!

We are so happy to have been a part of your big day and the start of your beautiful life together.

Best Beach Wedding Shoes

Change a life…

We love unique wedding ideas as well as anything that makes the world a better place, so when we heard of TOMS Shoes for the first time, we thought it was a fabulous company and a brilliant idea.

Blake Mycoskie launched TOMS Shoes in Venice, California in 2006. Their ONE for ONE concept is simple and simply amazing. For every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, another pair is given to a child in need. Since the company launched, in less than three years they have donated, free of charge, over 140,000 pairs of shoes to needy children around the world.

Recently we were looking (in truth…shopping!) at www.tomssshoes.com and found that they have a new category of shoes that are perfect for your destination wedding in Mexico. Not only will you have the perfect wedding shoes in a variety of colors and fabrics for your beach wedding but you will also be donating a pair of shoes to a child.

We think these shoes would be the ideal item to gift to your wedding party. Not only will they will look fantastic wearing these shoes at your wedding in Las Caletas, they feel ahhhhhmazing and they can dance the night away knowing somewhere in the world there is a child with very happy feet.

Destination Weddings: Las Caletas

Some love lasts a lifetime. True love lasts forever.
~ Author Unknown ~

It’s no surprise that destination weddings are becoming more and more popular especially considering the rising costs of large formal weddings. Another reason is the ability to combine your wedding destination with your honeymoon which not only cuts cost but stress and extra travel time. Having a destination wedding also provides the opportunity to revisit the biggest day of your life on monumental anniversaries or simply enjoying a second honeymoon by returning back to the scene to do it all over again.

One of the most popular destinations for getting married is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Just a short plane ride from most areas of the U.S. and Canada, Puerto Vallarta boasts a typically temperate climate, similar to that of Hawaii yet much closer to home. A lively city bursting with atmosphere and a plethora of restaurants and nightlife, yet the soft sand beaches and deep blue green water invite you to slip away and explore hidden villages such as Yelapa, Pizota and our very own treasure, Las Caletas.

Years ago, Las Caletas was the private hideaway of legendary producer John Huston. Today, this exclusive beach paradise can be yours for the biggest moment of your life and an unforgettable celebration. Accessible only by boat, there’s truly no place more secluded or romantic.

Our dedicated, innovative and intuitive team will work directly with you to coordinate the wedding of your dreams in a tropical paradise brimming with memories that will last forever for you and for all of your guests.
