The perfect wedding at the Bahia

The Bahia was the PERFECT location for our wedding ceremony and reception. From the initial meeting, through the planning stages, and to the day-of, every single staff member, including especially our point of contact, Vida, was professional, warm, detail-oriented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The ceremony site (we picked the pond/garden/gazebo) was stunning and the reception hall overlooking the bay and palm trees was so magical, we barely needed any extra decor as the garden and views were beautiful already! We appreciated how, despite the ceremony being outdoors, it really did feel private and intimate, with the hedges providing a secluded space for us and our guests. The suite they provided us for the night before and the night of was so spacious and comfortable, and a great location for the ladies to get ready together the day of. Truly, it was just the most perfect day, and we had zero stress, thanks to knowing the team was so incredible. Thank you so much!

Amazing Experience

From the moment I called the Bahia and met with Laura I have been so happy with their service. Shortly after you iron out the details with Laura you meet with Vida, She is absolutely amazing as well. Almost every time I reached out with questions I received a same day response. (Even weekends) I was able to tour all of their venue options at the resort and we chose the Bahia Belle. It's a super cool three story boat that sails the bay during your wedding reception/ceremony. The staff seemlessly executed the reception. We had one small hiccup with the sound system that was immediately addressed and remedied. We were treated like the bride and groom from the moment we checked in hours early. They had our room ready within a half hour. While we waited we had some lunch at the on site restaurant that is delicious and somehow they knew we were the bride and groom and brought us a beautiful dessert on the house. The location is unmatched for the Mission beach area. The rooms on the private beach and the views are so romantic. It is very fairly priced as well. We had so many compliments from guests on the venue and how beautiful everything was. I would highly recommend the Bahia and Laura and Vida. Thank you for making our day so memorable and special.
