PUERTO VALLARTA WEDDING GUIDE · 2027
Top 5 Wedding Venues
in Puerto Vallarta for 2027
Planning a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta? After more than a decade photographing weddings in the area, these are five venues we think are worth having on your list for 2027 — based not just on how they look, but on our experience actually photographing and filming weddings there.
We’ve included venues in Puerto Vallarta and nearby Riviera Nayarit, since couples planning a destination wedding here often consider both sides of Banderas Bay.
BAHÍA DE BANDERAS · NAYARIT
Dreams & Secrets
Bahia Mita
Dreams and Secrets Bahia Mita are a strong option for couples who want the convenience of a destination resort without being limited to one visual setting. The property combines ocean views, tropical surroundings, modern architecture and elevated spaces overlooking the coast.
It also works well for destination weddings where most guests are staying together and the celebration extends beyond the wedding day itself.

PUERTO VALLARTA · JALISCO
Hyatt Ziva
Puerto Vallarta
Hyatt Ziva sits on Puerto Vallarta’s southern coastline, between the Sierra Madre and the Pacific. Its location gives it a noticeably different atmosphere from the larger hotel zones farther north.
There are several possibilities for ceremonies and receptions, making it a versatile option for couples who want a resort wedding while still having different environments throughout the day.

PUERTO VALLARTA · JALISCO
Hilton
Vallarta Riviera
Hilton Vallarta Riviera is another strong option along Puerto Vallarta’s southern coastline. The resort sits between the mountains and the ocean, giving weddings here a landscape that feels distinctly connected to Puerto Vallarta.
It works particularly well for couples who want an all-inclusive destination wedding with the infrastructure of a larger resort and oceanfront spaces for the celebration.

PUERTO VALLARTA · JALISCO
Villa
La Mansión
Villa La Mansión is for couples looking for something more private than a traditional resort wedding. Instead of moving through a large hotel, the celebration takes place within a more intimate environment shared almost entirely with your guests.
That changes the rhythm of the wedding. People stay close together, transitions feel more natural and the property itself becomes part of the atmosphere of the celebration.

SAYULITA · NAYARIT
Teitiare
Estate
Teitiare Estate offers something completely different from the all-inclusive resorts around Banderas Bay. Surrounded by tropical vegetation near Sayulita, the estate feels secluded and closely connected to the landscape.
For couples who imagine a destination wedding that feels more like a private escape than a hotel event, it’s one of the most distinctive options in the region.

Casa Karma
Puerto Vallarta
We said five, but Casa Karma deserves a mention.
Casa Karma combines the privacy of a villa with a dramatic oceanfront location. The celebration stays contained within one property, creating a completely different atmosphere from a large resort wedding.
It’s especially appealing for couples who want their wedding to feel like a private gathering in Puerto Vallarta rather than a traditional hotel event.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
What matters when choosing a
Puerto Vallarta wedding venue?
A venue can look incredible online and still work very differently on an actual wedding day. These are some of the things worth considering before making the decision.
Light & Sunset
Oceanfront doesn’t automatically mean sunset-facing. Look at where your ceremony and portraits will happen and what the light will be doing at that time of day.
Rain Backup
Puerto Vallarta is tropical. Ask exactly what happens if an outdoor ceremony or reception needs to move — and make sure you actually like the backup option.
Privacy
A resort and a private villa create very different experiences. Consider how important it is for the celebration to be separated from other hotel guests.
Flow
Think beyond the ceremony location. Getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces that connect naturally make the wedding day easier for you and your guests.
Vendor Policies
Resorts and private venues can have different rules for outside vendors, access and additional fees. Ask about them before signing rather than discovering them later.
How It Feels
The best venue isn’t automatically the largest or most expensive. Choose somewhere that actually feels like the kind of wedding you want to experience.
