Favorite Wedding Memory

Seeing their ceremony and reception space for the very first time — Jenna was literally in awe. Celebrating with family and friends all night in such a breathtaking setting felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because it was.

Favorite Thing About the Resort

The brand-new, luxurious feel of Secrets/Dreams Bahia Mita — so many pools, restaurants, and bars with events happening daily that it's impossible to be bored. The Preferred Level rooftop pool was a massive hit with guests and an absolute must-experience during your stay.

Welcome Party & Recommended Excursion

For their welcome party, Jenna and Matt booked a sunset catamaran with Ally Cat — and they blew every expectation out of the water. Easy to work with, spectacular experience. They traveled during whale season and spotted whales right off the boat before anchoring to enjoy time in the water. An unforgettable way to kick off the wedding week.

Why They Chose Love to Travel

"We chose to partner with Love to Travel because we experienced their services when two of our friends had a destination wedding and used them. We loved how easy they made it for us as guests and knew they would be great to work with again. They made our experience so much more enjoyable and were very knowledgeable with every question we had. I could not recommend them more!"

Advice to Other Couples

Enjoy your time with the people who came to celebrate you. Time goes fast when you're having fun — even with multiple days together. Make a list of your absolute non-negotiables and let the resort and wedding coordinator handle everything else. This resort does weddings almost daily — they know exactly what they're doing.

💡 Vendor tip from Jenna & Matt They used resort vendors for florals, décor, DJ, and food — and chose a photographer who had shot at the resort before. The result? Vendors who knew exactly what they were doing, exactly where the best light was, and exactly how the day would flow. Consider the value of experience on-site when making vendor decisions.

✨ Insider tip for a large resort Secrets/Dreams Bahia Mita is a large property — Jenna and Matt recommend having a group communication plan in place for your guests. A group chat, a shared document with meet-up spots, or a wedding website with daily schedules makes a big difference when you want to gather everyone together throughout the week.

Something They'd Do Differently

Honestly — the whole trip was perfect. Their one wish? Staying even longer. They decided to stay one extra day after their guests left for a mini honeymoon, and it was the right call. They just wish they'd had more time to explore Puerto Vallarta itself beyond the resort.
