Salsa and Salsa–Mazatlan Mexico

This post is LONG overdue!

When we were in Mexico for our wedding in February, I was looking for fun activities for our group!  Being the foodie that I am, when I saw Salsa and Salsa it was a match made in Heaven!

Thanks again to Calla Evans for the amazing photos!

In total, 14 of our guests jumped on 2 trucks to start our fun!!

A little back story – Both the girls and guys had stags/stagettes the night before – so some people were feeling a little rough!!   It was also Valentine’s Day – hence the (very strong) margarita heart upon arrival!

When you show up, everyone gets aprons and chef hats!!

And you sit at your table with a partner, and have all the goodies in front of you!  Including stuff to make amazing salsa, guacamole and a whole lot of booze!

The lovely ladies that run Salsa and Salsa (Hi ladies!) knew we were coming and that our wedding was the next day – so they made it really special for us!!

They called us up to the front and gave us special hats decorated for our wedding (mine included a 10 foot veil) and gave us cupcakes to share with the guests!

Typical food blogger!  

IT was great!  They called us to the front many times during the whole day! (And made us kiss – or was that my mom!!)

Anyways – we had lots of great drinks including a REAL margarita (aka boozey mc boozertown!)

And a watermelon juice!

Lots of laughs were had and Calla did an amazing job of capturing every second!

The ladies were fantastic, teaching us how to make tons of salsas!

It was all so much fun!

Truth be told – we had to bring the (ahem hung-over) guys to come with us, but then ended up having an awesome time!

Especially since they had a lot more to drink when we got there!

Making real salsa is hard work!!  But so worth it in the end!

After we made Salsa – they taught us to SALSA dance!!  It was so much fun!

It was an absolute blast!!  I HIGHLY recommend this if you go to Mazatlan, Los Cabos or Cozumel…

It was so much fun!!   I' would totally do it again!!   If you aren’t heading to Mexico anytime soon, check out their recipe page for some amazing recipes!

Thank you to Leonique, Stephanie and Maaike for an awesome time! It was the perfect activity for the day before our wedding!!  

Destination Wedding Reception

Hello!!

Glad you guys enjoyed the wedding photos,  here is the last of them… the reception!

Our original reception was booked for the beach bar, but it was FREEZING in Mazatlan in the evening, so we had to reschedule it in the tacky chic night club! 

The first three were at the dinner.. and THEN to the night club.

And the night club fun begins!

Oh the customary embarrassing stories!

They made me pass an ice cube through the hubbys pants… it was HORRIBLE and embarrassing and I never actually accomplished it! ha

Slow Dance pictures – Our song was Shelter by Ray LaMontange, you can listen to it here! 

Oh and the dancing was SO fun!! 

I don’t even know what to say about this one! haha

And we even brought a few of our friends with us that couldn’t come to Mexico!

It was an amazing day and this is just a snip of all the photos…  Our photographer gave us 1500!!  How do you even choose?

Hope you enjoyed the wedding photos – this is officially the end of them! 

Oops I forgot!!

Hey guys,

I was just emailed by a reader saying that I never finished off our wedding photos (aka the wedding party and reception ones)! Hopefully you are still in the mood for some more photos!!

Again, in case you are new, our fabulous wedding photographer was Calla Evans from Toronto!

Enjoy!

I love this photo, as one of my bridesmaids was telling me that she was supposed to be a FLOWER girl not a bridesmaid (meaning I took TOO long to get married!) haha

This black and white one is my favorite!!

The guy with the black pants is actually one of my BFF’s, so I had to do 1 picture with him, although he stood with my hubby!

There are about 100 jumping photos, none of which we are all jumping!!   Can you tell who the gymnasts are?

 

Another favorite!

The end!!

I’ll post some of the reception ones tomorrow!! They are SO funny!
