LGBT Commitment Ceremonies in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Anyone planning or dreaming of planning a wedding or commitment ceremony knows the hurdles that come with the process to create the perfect day.

One of the main issues couples have is not only trying to keep each others ideas, wants and needs in the design of the ceremony but to also include (or completely put the kabash on!) outside opinions, ideas and wants. (Hello MIL to be!)

To escape the barrage of opinions of others on how your day should be, the best choice may be to “take it on the road” and hold your ceremony outside of your home area. This allows you to keep your ceremony smaller, selective and within a budget, yet incredibly amazing. It takes you off the hook of inviting every co-worker, neighbor, cousin or friend who would never imagine going to a destination wedding without you feeling obligated. You can still invite them but assume that some may simply not travel for a destination wedding.

One of the top destinations for LGBT vacationers is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The naturally colorful backdrop and diversity of the city and surrounding area is the perfect choice for people who want a friendly and accepting atmosphere with plenty of culture, activities, amazing restaurants, accommodations and nightlife.
No worries about feeling out of place, in fact, many of the businesses on the South Side of Puerto Vallarta (Zona Romantica/Olas Altas) are gay owned and operated.

Having your commitment ceremony here is an ideal choice as it offers a plethora of options in every style, budget and venue. Best yet, having your ceremony at a Private Luxury Villa allows you to stay on-site and fully enjoy the destination. Casa Valerie, just south of Puerto Vallarta can sleep up to 20 guests in total and Villa Real del Mar offers beautiful guest rooms and an on-site gym and Spa.

Both of these Villas come with staff and many added features and amenities, such as a private infinity pool, panoramic ocean and jungle views and deluxe sensory packages. Either Villa would make a fabulous choice for a commitment ceremony and Villa Real del Mar has an amazing white sand beach for “toes in the sand at sunset” festivities. Casa Valerie offers breathtaking views and large terraces built specifically for entertaining under the stars.

Creative, “hands on” types can plan their own celebration or can choose to work with the Villa's coordinators who can recommend the best local wedding planners, photographers, florists, caterers and more. All you need to do is bring the love of your life, your guests and your swimsuit! (Everything else can be bought here in Puerto Vallarta!)
