The Happy Couple about to party the night away with their guests

We were lucky enough to meet Brad and Jana for a tasting a couple of months before their wedding.  They chose a sit down dinner and open bar for their guests -  with a wide assortment of delicious non-alcoholic “cocktails” for non-drinkers.  The evening after the ceremony was to be filled with music, dancing and celebration – punctuated by a mouth-watering late-night sweets buffet.

They selected Casa Serena in Conchas Chinas – which is a personal favorite of our Event Manager, Blaire.  Not only does the villa’s professional kitchen make catering a destination wedding run seamlessly but its enchanting decorative detail is matched only by the natural beauty of its location.  And on a practical level, the villa has private security and a wonderfully attentive full-time staff.

Brad & Jana fell in love with a local band they heard playing at Puerto Vallarta night club and were lucky enough to talk the band into performing for their wedding.  With the dinner tables arranged to surround the stage Brad, Jana and their guests danced the night away!
