Casa Valerie

[MissLucky7Bride]

Thanks for all the great pointers!!! I am also slated to visit Casa Valerie this October. From what I have gathered, from my wedding planner, is that it is a fairly large space that can accommodate approx. 100 guests.

 

Once I return from my scouting visit, I will post as much info/pics as possible!

 

Yeah for PV Villa brides!!

We will be there the week of October 20th! Hopefully we'll both be able to share info.

Just to update. I spoke to my WC who said she has not personally booked Casa Valerie but she knows her and hasn't had any problems or know of anyone that has.

If you don't mind me asking, who is your wedding coordinator?

 

We are booked for a wedding at Casa Valerie in April. Getting married at Hacienda San Angel. I haven't had any problems with Valerie (owner) since we booked. We have enlisted the services of Prisar. They are doing the same wedding for the owner's son a few weeks prior and rumor has it the Casa (as stunning as it is) is going to get another full makeover. We visited quite a few villas and this by far was our favorite because of the view. The level of floors and the large pool which everyone is jumping in at the stroke of midnight.

I have decided to go with Carol from VOWS. We met with her last week while we were there and she was great. She took us to see 10 different villas. Mishka went with us one day to see six of them. I have to upload pictures and write reviews on them. Two that I loved were Mediterraneo where your wedding is Kathy and the other is Casa Guillermo. Mediterraneo has 4 bedrooms and was great but I think we're leaning towards Guillermo because it has 12 bedrooms and is right on the beach. It is gorgeous. I'll keep you posted on what we end up booking!

Kathie,

 

What villa did you decide on booking? Also what time do you have to end the party at Guillermo?

[Kathie]

Hi WindyCityGirl. We changed our minds a hundred times and finally settled on Casa Crescencia but found out that it wasn't being rented anymore because the owner was moving back in. We had to start all over at square one without seeing the villas we were thinking of at that point. Then a few people started complaining about going so far, the economy got bad and my daughter got engaged and began planning for her wedding in March 2010. At that point we decided that the timing wasn't right and it just wasn't meant to be. So now we have no plans to marry for a couple years anyway and I'm not even sure where or when It was the right choice for us though. Hope yours turns out great.

Nice!! I'm sure it will be wonderful.

I had my wedding at Casa Valerie on April 16 2010, and there are no words for how awful it was dealing with the owner Valerie. We got socked with hidden charges, overtime fees, crazy grocery charges, and the worst of it is she wouldn’t return the security deposit until we paid an extra $300 US on top of the $150 already given to staff for a 2 day stay! Afterwards she had the odasity to ask for a favourable review and only then gave us back our money. Venue is gorgeous and her poor staff are friendly but it's definitely not worth it. Every time we look at our pictures the first thing we think of is the ordeal we went through.
