A Special Setting For the Celebration

The wedding ceremony and celebration will take place off the resort at the stunning Las Caletas, a beautiful beachfront venue known for its natural scenery, relaxed elegance, and unforgettable sunset views. 

our love story

No one really knows where life is going to take you.

One minute you’re working at an anime convention with someone you’ve just met, the next your ditching friends at a comic convention to hang out longer with that same person. Next thing you know, covid pushes your long distance relationship into a living together one. At least that’s how our adventure started.

Between video games, anime, and cats, our story has come a long way. We’ve battled life’s monsters, been distracted by many a side quest, and discovered unique treasures along the way. It’s hard to say where life will take us next, but we’re excited to explore it together.

Words of Advice Booking Flights

Please book your flights to Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR).

We recommend booking your flights as early as you can for best pricing. The travel agent can assist with this if you would like. Be sure to indicate this on your submission for a quote.

Airport transfers to and from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport is included when making your hotel booking through our room block. No need to arrange a taxi when arriving or departing the Puerto Vallarta International Airport.

Watch the price of flights on apps or websites such as Hopper, Google Flights, and Skyscanner. Be sure to set up notifications to be notified when to purchase. Be sure to watch both one-way tickets and round-trip tickets for the best deals. If you have an early flight and arrive to the resort before check in, you are able to utilize all amenities (pool, restaurants, activities, etc…). Pack a small bag with swimwear and other necessities to utilize the resort while you wait for your room.

If you are using Hopper, we strongly encourage that you book directly with the airline.

Do I need travel insurance

Because group reservations at all-inclusive resorts are pre-paid and non-refundable, travel insurance is strongly encouraged to protect your investment. Life is unpredictable, and plans can change.

* No Refunds Without Insurance – If your plans change, refunds are not available.
* Medical Coverage – Without insurance, you may have no coverage for medical emergencies. Most U.S. health insurance plans do not work internationally.
Cost & Coverage – Insurance pricing is based on your age, state of residency, and total trip cost, so each guest will receive an individual quote.
Protection for the Unexpected – Travel insurance can cover cancellations, trip delays, medical emergencies, and even evacuation if needed.
24/7 Assistance – Access expert help anytime, anywhere.

How Do I Book My Room?

We’re so excited to have you join us at RIU Pacifico to celebrate our wedding! To make the booking process smooth and simple, please follow the steps below carefully:

IMPORTANT BOOKING TIPS

  • Only one person per room should fill out the booking form using the “BOOK THIS ROOM” link.
  • If you’re sharing a room with others, only one person needs to submit the form on behalf of everyone in that room.
  • Rooms are most comfortable for 2 guests, but can accommodate up to 3 adults in some room categories
  • Single occupancy is almost as much as double. I highly suggest booking double occupancy if you can.

BOOKING STEPS

STEP 1:
Once you’ve chosen your desired room category, click “BOOK THIS ROOM.”

STEP 2:
Complete the form with your details and the names of any other guests sharing your room.

STEP 3:
Stephanie Steinert, our travel agent from Travel With Class, LLC, will email you within 2 business days with your personalized quote for approval.

STEP 5:
Review and approve your quote followed by submitting your deposit to secure your room.

That’s it! You’re officially on your way to paradise with us!

If you have any questions at all during this process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Stephanie at
stephanie@travelwithclassllc.com or 262-343-2581.
She’s here to make your travel planning easy and stress-free.

Extend Your Stay – No Problem!

Want to arrive early or stay longer? You can! Just note:

Subject to Availability – Extra nights depend on the hotel’s availability and what we have reserved.

Rates May Vary – Prices for dates outside the group block may differ from the quoted group rate.

How to Request – Simply include your preferred dates in your reservation form, and I’ll confirm availability for you!

Let me know your plans, and I’ll take care of the rest!

Sharing a Room? Here’s How It Works

If you’re planning to share a room with another invited guest, here’s how to make the booking process smooth and simple:

  • One Form Per Room: Please coordinate with your roommate and designate one person to complete the reservation form. Forms should be submitted per room, not per individual.

  • Next Steps: Once the form is submitted, Stephanie will email both guests with the next steps and important details about your reservation.

  • Different Addresses? No Problem! If you and your roommate live at different addresses, be sure to include the second guest’s contact information (including email address) in the notes section of the reservation form. This ensures everyone stays in the loop and receives all important updates.

  • Designated Emails for Communication: To avoid missing any important information, please provide the designated email addresses for all guests sharing the room. This helps ensure everyone receives booking confirmations, payment reminders, and travel updates directly.

  • Lead Passenger Responsibility: The person filling out the reservation form will be listed as the lead passenger and is responsible for:

    • Sharing all terms and conditions with their roommate(s).
    • Ensuring all payments are made on time for the entire room.
    • Communicating important updates from Stephanie with all guests in the room.
  • Review Terms & Conditions: It’s the responsibility of each passenger to review the Terms & Conditions, which are included on your invoice and can also be found at www.travelwithclassllc.com. Travel With Class, LLC reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions as needed.

Dress Code: Festive Beach Casual

Beach-friendly attire with a fun, celebratory feel. Light fabrics and sand-appropriate shoes recommended.
Fantasy accessories (masks, animal ears, horns, etc.) are welcome but not required. Feel free to join in the Halloween spirit in a way that feels comfortable to you!

 

Our Honeymoon fund

                        “Could not recommend Stephanie more! As a medical student turned destination bride, she made the process as easy as possible.

                        She took care of all 60 guests’ travel, booked a catamaran excursion, attended my wedding planning meetings with the resort, and helped with budget-friendly alternative ideas.

                        Stephanie truly went above and beyond. Working with TWC was the best decision I made for my destination wedding.”

                        “Made My Dream Wedding Happen”

                        “My wedding wouldn’t have been possible without Stephanie! I truly can’t recommend her enough. As a perfectionist on a budget, I was nervous to work with a planner, but she listened, guided, and brought every idea to life.

                        Stephanie went above and beyond in every aspect, which is so rare to find. I trusted her completely throughout the process! Thank you again, Stephanie!”

                        “We had Stephanie help us with both our wedding and honeymoon, and she was amazing. She got our entire group the best rates, answered every question, and guided us through resort details with ease.

                        From start to finish, she made the experience stress-free and fun. Stephanie brought our vision to life in a way that felt effortless. Our day was everything we imagined and more. Travel With Class was one of the best decisions we made. We’re so grateful!”
