Destination Weddings in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Destination weddings are “hot” right now (pardon the pun) especially for couples looking to escape the traditional wedding venues in their city as well as for economic reasons.


Ecomomics 101
When you take the biggest day of your life to a location away from home, you end up limiting the guest list which can often be a blessing, especially for couples feeling trapped into inviting the whole neighborhood, their teams of co-workers and the distant cousins they haven’t seen in a decade or two.  Destination weddings ensure that you share your day with only the nearest and dearest people in your lives thus lessening the pressure of how to cut down the guest list. 

The Big Enchilada
A destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta combines not only an incredibly romantic backdrop to your wedding but you combine a family reunion, a romantic vacation (not just for yourself but for your friends as well) a spectacular honeymoon and memories that cannot be made at the local wedding hall or Hyatt Hotel. Especially in the dead of winter. 


Planning
Planning a vacation is always exciting. Planning a wedding can be daunting to say the least. But planning a romantic honeymoon in an exotic location often gets the groom to get involved in the arrangements. Since most of the leg work is often done by a wedding planner, all you need to do is dream together, send the planner your ideas, concepts and desires and they bring your dreams to fruition. Best yet, in-laws, family and friends have limited say this way when they feel the need to butt-in and tell you what to do for your big day. 

Get Away!
Since most friends and families today are spread out across country and the world, considering that they would need to travel anyway, a destination wedding makes sense logistically. Plus, it takes the pressure off of having to find comfortable places for them to stay, local transportation and you having enough “space” to prepare.  Most guests at a destination wedding end up exploring the area, bonding and enjoying a mini-vacation which allows you plenty of time to relax and unwind. You can work with your planner to set up tours, spa days and fishing or canopy tours to keep them entertained.


Location
There are many places to hold a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta but our favorite is a spectacular private villa, Casa Valerie, Mismaloya. This 10,000 square foot Villa is nestled on the hillside above the Bay of Banderas and offers stunning 180 degree breathtaking views of the ocean and spectacular sunsets, the surrounding mountains, lush jungle and the glimmering lights of Puerto Vallarta.
