What to Do with Your Wedding Guests In Puerto Vallarta
If you want a truly unique and memorable beach destination wedding, look no further than Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A wedding in Puerto Vallarta has plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, sparkling beachside vistas and wedding venues, and beautiful weather. You and your loved ones will have a great time and remember your wedding day for years to come.
Los Muertos Beach
Don’t let the name (translated as “the dead) scare you: this is one of Puerto Vallarta’s most popular and lively beaches. It is lined with restaurants, hotels, and bars, food stalls, water sports vendors, and a very iconic pier resembling a sailing boat. Sunsets from Los Muertos beach are an experience you cannot miss.
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
This colonial-era cathedral is a landmark on the Puerto Vallarta skyline. History buffs in your wedding party will love to take a tour and explore the grounds, taking in the colonial flair and architecture.
Los Arcos
Off the coast you’ll spot these iconic rock formations. The perfect way to admire these natural beauties is onboard a private yacht with your whole family or maybe just your fun group of bridesmaids. You can explore Los Arcos’ tunnels paddleboarding, but it is also a great place to go scuba diving or snorkeling to see hundreds of tropical fish in their natural environment.
Golfing
Puerto Vallarta is a great destination for golfing—and golfing is a fun way for your friends and family to spend time together and catch up. There are a number of top quality golf courses in the area, including the Marina Vallarta Golf Course, the only one immersed in the city, but also with some holes close to the beach, the Vista Vallarta Course, which features a fun jungle location, and Litibu Golf Club, another course with a jungle layout that offers a good value in green fees.
Sunset Sailing
In lieu of a formal rehearsal dinner, watch the sunset over the Bay of Banderas in a private chartered sailboat with your wedding party. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy drinks together and share old memories while creating new ones.
Give Back
Pay homage to your destination wedding’s hometown by giving back to the local community. You can do this by asking guests for donations to contribute to a local school or reforestation efforts, or you can volunteer at local children’s shelters.
Honeymoon Ideas
There’s no need to rush to the airport after saying “I do”—when you get married in Puerto Vallarta, you’re already at one of the world’s most romantic and scenic honeymoon destinations. Say farewell to your guests and spend the rest of your time in Puerto Vallarta honeymooning as newlyweds. There’s plenty to do to spark the romance and take in your surroundings. A trip to the iconic Lover’s Beach, also called Hidden Beach, at Islas Marietas. This secluded spot is a great place to swim, kayak, sunbathe, and explore.
A must you cannot miss on a honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta is Rhythms of the Night. The world-class show, created by the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil Giles St. Croix, reunites musicians, artists and acrobats from Mexico and all over the world. The journey starts with a boat cruising the bay at sunset to get to the beautiful beach of Las Caletas, which gets completely transformed at night, full of torches and candles, for the show. The experience includes a delicious candle-lit buffet dinner in the most romantic atmosphere.
Puerto Vallarta and its surroundings have plenty of options to enjoy with your whole family and friends, or just with your new spouse. With the breathtaking beach wedding venues of Las Caletas and Majahuitas for you to choose, Puerto Vallarta becomes the ideal place for an unforgettable celebration with the sun setting over the Pacific ocean.
