Guests not staying at Secrets or Dreams Vallarta Bay are welcome to attend the wedding. Please RSVP by October 20th and indicate that you will be staying off-site. The finalized guest list will be shared with our wedding coordinator, including details of who is staying at the resort and who is not. This information will be provided to the hotel to ensure smooth check-in on the wedding day. Wedding Day Check-In: All wedding guests will have a private check-in on the day of the wedding. Guests staying off-site will need to present their passport (or the government-issued ID used to enter Mexico). The front desk will hold onto your ID until the wedding festivities end (around 10:30–11:00 PM). You will have access to the resort's amenities for the entire day. When you're ready to leave, simply visit the front desk to collect your ID. Please note: Transportation for off-site guests will not be provided the day of the wedding.
We recommend arriving at least a day or two before the wedding on May 16, 2025, to fully enjoy the festivities. An optional welcome/kick-off event for all wedding guests will take place on May 14th, 2025. You're also encouraged to extend your stay and turn the celebration into a memorable vacation!
