Anyone who has an internet connection or subscribes to CNN has been shivering with fear. Many people have been asking us what’s really happening! Ahh and you are the smart ones! Anyone buying all of the hype needs to get out a bit more! Even the industry self-proclaimed “insiders” have bought into the hype. Causing what we call “BRIDAL FREAK OUT” !

Ok...enough ranting....

The EM Vallarta team of Wedding Planners has been asked numerous questions as to what is really happening in Puerto Vallarta. The clients themselves know very quickly that this is all sensationalized but it’s the guests that can be fearful.

Here is what we suggest all of our clients do. Stick to the facts and let your guests know that they will be safe and sound. Let the information flow.

For example… Puerto Vallarta had ZERO cases of the dreaded “SWINE FLU” errr..... “H1N1” errr….. ‘regular ole flu”. Please… you were more likely to get this in NYC than you were in Puerto Vallarta….a media frenzy, blown out of proportion and now just a faded memory....

Puerto Vallarta is not a border town. Mexico is a huge country….what happens in one state or city is not necessarily happening in another. It would be like asking people in Florida if they are being affected by a snowstorm in New York.

Puerto Vallarta does not have drug wars nor people being kidnapped.

Vallarta DOES offer a chic, tropical, bigger bang for the dollar location than you are going to find anywhere. Ask our brides and their families.

Vallarta offers some of the best Wedding Planners and Caterers in the Country and the level of service and professionalism is on par with any North of the boarder planner.

Here is my “insider” advise on planning a wedding here:

  • All the same rules apply.

  • Do your research.
  • Ask questions.
  • Check references.


Review your contracts before making any payments. Ask more questions.

As we always recommend, purchase event insurance no matter where it is. Do you insure your car?

Then sit back, relax and know that the team you have hired is going create the event that you have always envisioned. Magical, memorable and perfect!

Are you behind in your wedding planning? Are you avoiding inviting everyone from you mother’s list of guests. A destination wedding might be your answer. Call us, write us, check out our current clients.
