Destination Weddings and the Royal Wedding

The wedding everyone is talking about these days is the Royal Wedding, with Prince William and Kate Middleton on Thursday April 29th. However if you are planning a wedding, one of your options to consider is a destination wedding and the benefits are impressive. By planning your wedding in an interesting destination your gift to the guests is a fabulous vacation combined with the celebration of your marriage. Puerto

Puerto Vallarta is one of the most beautiful settings geographically and has a wonderful architectural style all within a very short and often direct flight from many US and Canadian cities. If you consider wouldn’t most of your friends and family prefer to attend a wedding in Puerto Vallarta then your parent’s home town? The charming town with cobblestone streets, white washed houses and red tile roofs is very romantic. As well the options for wedding venues are amazing – you can have married on the beach at sunset with the waves at your feet or in royal splendor in a luxury vacation rental villa. The cost is another detail that attracts many, you can have many memorable upscale original details in Mexico for what might be cost prohibitive in the US or Canada.

A very popular trend for weddings and other events in Puerto Vallarta is to have them in one of the spectacular luxury vacation rental villas. There is an amazing spectrum of options for the villas – with space for up to 125 wedding guests; however the norm is more intimate affairs of only 20-50 guests.

Some of the larger rental villas have from 9-14 bedrooms so groups of families or friends can stay together in an intimate setting with staff who will provide a higher level of service then a 5 star hotel so that everyone can relax and enjoy meals together in a private setting where you pay only the actual purchase cost of the food and beverages you request not restaurant prices.

So no more $20 dollar hamburgers or cramped hotel rooms with crazy prices for the mini bar. Have your private villa staff serve you on your own terrace and make the entire trip and the wedding an event you will never forget with memories you cannot put a price on.

Some of our favorite private villas are the stunning Casa Yvonneka with breathtaking views of the town across the infinity pool, Casa Aventura with space for up to 75 guests around the pool terrace and views of the south coast (see photos featured in Bride and Groom Magazine winter 2010), Casa del Mar a smaller house for a more intimate wedding of 45 guests located beachfront with a charming cantera stone bridge. There are also lavish villas like Estrella Mar and Casa Serena that will take your breath away, to name a few. The new event planners are sophisticated like Zac Campbell of Eventful Moments Vallarta who was recently featured on a Dallas morning news show, or Laura Cardenas of I do Vallarta, Laura is a local girl who knows every vendor by name and only works with the best plus many more .
