Due to contract deadlines, we recommend booking your hotel room as early as possible and adding air when you're ready.
If you book your own air, please forward your air confirmation email to me no later than March 17, 2027. This is how we schedule your transportation pick up at your destination. Guests who do not submit their air information by the deadline will forfeit their included transfers.
The closest airport is Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). The included transportation is a "shared transfer," which is a shuttle that may make stops at other properties. Guests are able to upgrade to a nonstop vehicle at their own cost, see form for details.
If you would like assistance with air, we are happy to help! There is a $75 ticketing fee included in all of our air quotes.
Reservation forms should be one per ROOM, not one per person. When I get your form, I will email both of you and explain next steps.
If you and your roommate live at different addresses, please make sure to include the second passenger's contact info. This can go in the notes field.
Please include your requested dates in your reservation form and I will confirm availability! Note: rates outside the room block dates may differ from our group rates quoted here.
- The couple has signed a contract with the resort and has committed to a minimum number of rooms
- Only rooms booked with Alpaca Your Bags Travel count toward this contract
- The resort has a 3 night minimum stay requirement, but you are welcome to come earlier or stay later!
- We have reserved several different room types for you to choose from. Descriptions follow this FAQ
Rachel & Joey kindly ask that you book your hotel within our designated group contract here at Alpaca Your Bags Travel.
There are several reasons why you should honor the couple's wishes and book the hotel portion with the group:
- The couple has worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group. This includes a special set rate and included transportation.
- Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment.
- Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you're likely getting a room that couldn't be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in a undesirable location away from everyone else.
- Official groups are given priority if a resort is oversold.. If the hotel over sells, the official group bookings are protected but reservations made outside the group are not. You could be walked to another location.
- Will not get the group rates
- Will have to pay up front vs. over time.
- Will not receive any pre-departure, trip support or post-trip support from me.
- Unfortunately I cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can I assist in the event of an emergency.
- Will be required to pay a wedding pass on property to attend wedding events. Wedding pass sales are extremely limited and subject to hotel approval.
Note: Due to the nature of my job, I am frequently on the phone with travel suppliers. Email is often the fastest and best way to reach me.
Kindly note my business hours of 9a-5p central time, M-Thursday and 9a-12p central time on Fridays. I am available outside business hours by appointment. Please allow up to 1 business day for a response.

Hi! I’m Ashley Morris; I’m the owner of Alpaca Your Bags Travel. Our name might be funny, but our service isn’t. As we enter our 8th year in business, I’m honored to help wedding couples, families and groups across the U.S. to make their travel dreams a reality. If you’re a Destination Wedding guest, you’re probably thinking, “Who is this person and how did my friend find her?”
Here are a few fun facts about me:
I started Alpaca Your Bags after spending 15 years in corporate marketing and advertising. Before travel, I worked in retail marketing at Target and Kohl’s as well as advertising agencies in New York City. Alpaca was born in my apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan
I am a former Destination Wedding bride myself! My husband Matt and I dragged 65 of our closest friends and family to Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Matt is active duty USAF; we are currently in Warrensburg, MO - just south of the Kansas City area.
I work with couples all over the world and have clients in nearly every US state. In 2021, we will book & service over $3.5 million of travel for wedding groups, honeymoons, family reunions, vacations and more.
If you’re planning another vacation, I’d love to help you! Message me for more details on how we can work together.
