Amazing!!!

We booked La Barcaza based on the reviews and it was the best decision ever!!

Thank you Agota! She made the planning process so easy and definitely took the stress out of wedding planning.

Thank you to Heloise, La Barcaza crew, DJ Bello, the photographer and videographer! They were all great and kind. Everything went smoothly!

Our guests enjoyed the food, drinks and music with the amazing backdrop!

Ceremony location/setup was beautiful and we pretty much had the beach all to ourselves. (No bystanders with bathing suits!!!) However, it was really hot (no breeze), so good thing we had paper fans for our guests and some brought handheld fans. We also added popsicles for dessert to cool off on the boat!

Highly recommend for anyone that wants a unique wedding!!

Birthday celebration

Everything went well. I was sooo nervous that something was not going to go right. I read the reviews on trip advisor and they were all great which made me decide to go with this company. Daniel communicated very well since day one and was very patient with me, as I had a lot of questions and a couple changes to the reservation. All the staff was nice, the boat was clean, the food was good, and the DJ was on point. Everyone had a great time.

The perfect welcome party for our guests!

We were going back and forth whether to do a dinner or a boat party for our welcome party and when we saw La Barcaza and all the positive reviews we knew we had to book this. Booking was extremely easy and the communication was seamless. The team was able to accommodate everything from the food/alcohol, to hours we will be on the boat, to the music we wanted, everything! There was never any issues from the booking, selecting the menus, all the way to picking us up from our hotel. We had about 100 people on the boat and the staff were super helpful and took care of everything we wanted. The DJ played great music and had all of the guests dancing the entire time. The food was amazing and came out at the perfect time, and the drinks were flowing. I know it says its recommended to book the extra hour and I could not agree more. You will regret not doing the extra hour like we did! This event was all the wedding guests were talking about the rest of the week. Thank you again to the amazing staff, you took amazing care of us. You should be booking La Barcaza yesterday, do not wait up!

The food was great as well as the secluded location on the beach for the ceremony. Being professional photographers we worked at La Barcaza many times and can recommend them without a doubt.
