FAQs

The Wedding Website of Zachary Bates and Elise Lee
Question

Do I have to stay at the resort to attend the wedding?

Answer

Yes. To ensure access to all wedding events, guests must stay at one of our official wedding resorts: Dreams Bahia Mita (all ages) or Secrets Bahia Mita (18+). Please note there are some adults-only restaurants and bars that are exclusive to Secrets Bahia Mita guests.

Question

Is the resort all-inclusive?

Answer

Yes! Both Dreams and Secrets Bahia Mita are all-inclusive resorts. Your stay includes meals, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and access to resort amenities.

Question

Where will the wedding events take place?

Answer

All wedding festivities — including the welcome events, ceremony, and reception — will take place at Dreams Bahia Mita.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If your invitation includes a plus one, it will be clearly indicated. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those listed.

Question

Are children allowed at the wedding?

Answer

Due to venue capacity restrictions, we are only able to accommodate children who are part of our immediate family at the wedding ceremony and reception.

Question

How do I book my room?

Answer

Please use our room-block booking link under the “Accommodations” section of our website to reserve your stay at a discounted rate. Booking through the room block also ensures you are registered as a wedding guest and have access to all events. Our travel coordinator Melinda Shelley is happy to help with any booking inquires. Email: mshelley@destinationweddings.com Phone: 503-984-9490

Question

How does booking work if I’m sharing a room?

Answer

All guests sharing a room must book together on one reservation. A $50 deposit per person is required at booking, and the remaining balance can be paid anytime before October 25, 2026. Maximum 3 adults to one room.

Question

What if I want to book a room type that isn’t listed in the room block?

Answer

If there’s a specific room type you’re interested in that isn’t included in our room block, please let us know and we’re happy to add it for you if available.

Question

Can I use hotel points to book my stay?

Answer

Yes! Dreams and Secrets Bahia Mita are Hyatt properties, and guests are welcome to use Hyatt points for their stay. If you plan to book using points outside of our room block, please let us know in advance so we can ensure you are still registered as a wedding guest and have access to all wedding events.

Question

When should I arrive and depart?

Answer

We encourage guests to arrive on Thursday to ensure you’re settled in and able to join us for our Welcome Party on Friday, March 19th. The wedding will take place on Saturday, March 20th, with festivities wrapping up that evening. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all weekend!

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

Please fly into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). The resort is approximately a 40-minute drive from the airport. Guests are responsible for booking their own flights. Transportation details and recommendations will be shared closer to the wedding date, and our coordinator, Melinda Shelley, can assist with arranging transportation once flights are booked.
