Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico’s Pacific coast, offers rugged vistas, deep blue water, and darker sand for weddings of 20 or more guests. The area’s breathtaking sunsets, which color the entire area a particular hue of orange at night, are famed for its majestic ceremonies. Most wedding resorts in Puerto Vallarta are less than 30 minutes from the city center, providing convenient access to the city’s cultural attractions, ancient churches, and local fish markets. The charming Old Town, with its trademark cobblestone walkways, provides a look into traditional Mexican culture and has more bars, restaurants, and stores per square foot than any other neighborhood in the city. It’s all perfect for relaxation and discovery during your Puerto Vallarta destination wedding.
Dreams Vallarta Bay
Happily-ever-after begins at Dreams Vallarta Bay for the bride who is equally daring as she is romantic. This AAA Four Diamond resort is an all-inclusive paradise where you can make the most of your wedding weekend. A wedding coordinator will work with you to ensure that your special day runs smoothly and without stress. Arrive on a Friday and spend the day exploring the El Malecón boardwalk or venturing into Puerto Vallarta and its neighbor, Mismaloya, for stunning views of the sea and rock formations. Before walking down the aisle on the golden-sand beach to say “I do,” as sapphire waves gently wash ashore, head to the spa to prepare and pamper yourself for the big day.
Finish the night with an exclusive reception at Chef’s Table, where you can watch your food being made, and then head to one of the vibrant bars for some top-shelf spirits. End the weekend with a thrill ride on Mexico’s longest and fastest zip line; a boat tour to the private coves of Yelapa and Majahuitas; or snorkeling and kayaking on Marietas Island. Adventure (and love!) await you at Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa.
