WHY VALLARTA IS THE BEST DESTINATION FOR YOUR WEDDING

June 17, 2022


As a Patasalada (translation: salty feet, or someone born in PV) myself, I can talk for hours about the things I love about our beautiful bay. Just a few include but are not limited to the following:

WEATHER AND LANDSCAPE

Situated on the Pacific Mexican coast, the Banderas Bay is one of the deepest and largest bays in the world, at 42 kilometers (26 miles) wide.

There are lovely sites all over the bay, with the mountains meeting the sea and we have two major highlights: Marietas Island, a Natural World Heritage Site, a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve, RAMSAR site 1345.

Also,  Los Arcos de Mismaloya a Mexican National Marine Park.

The air quality is excellent, and the weather in Puerto Vallarta is really nice, (except for the season from June to October that is really hot and rainy) there is no extreme cold and you can have a break from the snowy climates in your country. The coldest month is February with an average maximum temperature of 28 ° C (83 ° F) You will feel like spring although it is winter.

LANGUAGE

The language barrier in Puerto Vallarta is almost zero, most of the people you will meet on your trip will speak enough English to help you with anything you need, and if by chance you find someone who does not speak English, the most likely thing is that they understand it. I know people that have lived here full time for 14 years and don’t speak Spanish further than Good morning and Thank you.

TRAVEL PLANS

There are currently 16 direct nonstop flights from Canada and 18 from America. The longest flight from the USA takes 5:50 hours. It is not only a great wedding destination but is more affordable for your guests to travel and stay than other wedding places such as South America or Europe.

TOP WEDDING DESTINATION 

Its welcoming nature and endless beauty have made Puerto Vallarta one of the top Beach Wedding Destinations in Mexico, you’ll be able to find expert vendors of all kinds for your wedding.

MARRIAGE REGULATIONS

You don’t have to be a resident of Mexico to get married there. Two foreigners can get married in a country with a passport, tourist visa, and minimum amount of paperwork.

Same-sex marriage is legal in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Mexico City, and 18 of the 31 states. These marriages are recognized nationwide (even in states where same-sex couples cannot marry) and by various federal departments and organizations like medical insurance, banks, etc. If you want to learn more about the requirements click here.

MULTICULTURAL & FRIENDLY TOWN

Even though it is a touristy town, it still is very charming. People are very nice and there is a sense of community which we love, a friendly mix of locals and tourists and ex-pats, always someone willing to help, chat, or grab a drink.  The fact that half the locals you pass by say hola! for no reason other than pleasantry can make one feel good just to be walking on Vallarta streets.

 

MEXICAN ESSENCE

Although we have all the best brands of exclusive hotels on the bay, it is easy to find the MEXICAN SOUL on every corner. You can hear mariachi music at the restaurants, watch artisans do delicate and intricate traditional handicrafts, or enjoy its traditional food stations, tacos, chilaquiles, elotes, churros, tejuino, the list is immense.

There are two important festivals related to food during the high season, The gourmet  Festival in November and Restaurant Week in May.
